K.Bohls of Austin American Statesman says Potts maybe the best Leach has ever had

"Considering that his Texas Tech quarterbacks have led the nation in passing yardage for five of the last seven seasons — they were second and third the other two years — Leach's testimonials should be taken at face value"

Funny, but I doubt if anyone in Austin buys it. They’re all in love with their 5-yard passer. Maybe they’ll get an education in the third game.

I like this:

“Taylor’s arm is strong, but can you protect long enough for a receiver to run downfield 80 yards?” Leach poses, munching on black-eyed peas and corn on the cob in his office. “We can protect for 31/2 seconds. In the NFL, it’s 2.7 to 2.9 seconds. What’s Taylor going to do, run circles back there till somebody gets that deep?”

exactly and i think this is part of leach’s disgust with the knock on Graham’s arm strength. Just doesn’t come into play very much.

WOW

Can Potts really sling the ball 80 yards? I knew he had a stronger arm than Graham…I had no idea it was THAT strong. If he doesn’t get drafted as a 6’5" Rocket-armed QB, I don’t know that we will ever had a QB get drafted. I annot wait to see him play!!!
