TCU 's Option attack

[HB Pony Dad]

Friday's Frogs!

[TexKev12]

Has Dalton ever gone out there and won you a game...

I agree the RBs and Oline are nasty...Dalton is a game manager pure and simple...We will see at the draft how much all the winning turns into dollars at the pro game...

.....you're right......the only way to judge a good college player is to see how he does in the NFL......Great logic Pony...Great Logic!!

I LOVE SMU

Will one of you TCU froggies please stop by Railhead on you way out of town on Friday?

Could use ribs, sausage, chicken, brisket (sliced, not chopped), beans and slaw. I need enough for 10 people. My brother was going to bring but it sounds he isn't going to be coming over.

That or Angelos please

"I think it's going to be tough to tell if Andy's really as solid a starter as everybody believes he is," Smith said.

2009: Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year and one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award, recognizing the top quarterback in the nation ... received All-America honors from SI.com and CollegeFootballNews.com ... first-team All-MWC ... received votes in Heisman Trophy balloting ... recipient of an Award of Distinction from the Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio) ... the Horned Frogs' 12-1 record enabled him to tie Slingin' Sammy Baugh (29, 1934-36) for the most victories by a starting quarterback in TCU history ... ranked eighth in the nation in passing efficiency (151.83) ... closed the season second in TCU history and third among active quarterbacks in the NCAA with a 2.4 interception percentage (24 picks in 1,001 career pass attempts) ... set a TCU single-season record for passing yards with 2,756, enabling him to become the Horned Frogs' all-time leader with 7,457 ... had a career-high 61.6 completion percentage and 23 touchdown passes on the year ... both numbers ranked second for a single season at TCU ... moved into second place on TCU's career chart for completions (603), touchdowns (44) and completion percentage (60.2) ... placed fourth on TCU with a career-high 512 yards rushing (4.4 per carry), pushing him over 1,000 career yards on the ground (1,176) ... a three-time MWC Offensive Player of the Week selection ... rushed for 86 yards on a career-high 19 carries in a driving rain at Clemson to lead TCU to a 14-10 victory in Death Valley ... also completed 17-of-26 passes for 226 yards in recording a season-best 312 yards of total offense ... passed for two scores and ran for two in a 55-10 win at San Diego State ... threw for 241 yards with three touchdowns in a 38-7 victory over BYU ... had back-to-back games with 75-yard touchdown passes to Antoine Hicks in the BYU and UNLV contests ... also connected with Hicks on a 62-yard scoring strike in the New Mexico game ... had a career-long streak of 127 pass attempts without an interception ... passed for a season-best 272 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Clay in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl ... ran for a season-best 88 yards, three shy of a career high, on 12 attempts in the 45-10 win at Wyoming ... rushed for at least 44 yards in five of the last six games.

I'd argue he had a lot to do with the win against Clemson. 14-10 TCU win, he went 17-26 for 226 yards and 2 TDs and rushed 19 times for 86 yards. Also, no interceptions. Pretty complete performance I'd say. In 2007 TCU beat Stanford 38-36, Dalton was 23-23 for 344 yards and 2 TDs and no INTs and rushed for another TD.

I'm not sure what you're looking for. It's hard for a QB to 'carry' a team to victory when so many of their wins are blowouts. For example, in 2008 Dalton was 16-22 for 334 yards and 4 TDs while rushing for another. But it was a 54-7 win over Wyoming that quickly got out of hand. Or against Air Force that year he was 21-27 for 321 yards and 2 TDs while rushing for 2 more TDs. But that was a 44-10 win that was never in doubt. Not really his fault though, is it?

Either way, I think both the Clemson game and the Stanford game are good examples of Dalton gritting it out in close games and giving TCU the win.

What's the issue?
Dalton is an experienced senior that has worked well in their system.

They have Dalton for heisman campaigns over there...

They think he is the next peyton manning...my thought is that he is a game manager for a good team...not a winner that ups the level of those around him....

They do? Where?

Folks, we had a QB by the name of Lance McIhenny (sorry if the spelling is wrong) who was not a pro prospect but handled his team to a National Championship just like Dalton is doing now. Lance was and I believe still is the highest winning SMU QB in history and no one could have done a better job than him. He was a manager of the game in the purest sense. I have trouble bad mouthing the type of QB that Dalton is. He has never impressed me with his on field play until the game is over and I look at the results. I personally think we need to lok elsewhere for some solid smack.
