Some gems:
"I think a lot of people probably thought [A&M] would be throwing the ball more," Shipley said. "They knew Stephen could run around pretty good when they recruited him, but he's not the kind of guy you watched on tape and said, 'Wow, there's your guy who can run the option if you wanted to.'"
In fact, Rodney McGee told the Star-Telegram last year that prior to signing, Stephen told Franchione that he wasn't interested in an option-type offense such as the one Franchione implemented while at TCU.
"I broke every passing record at A&M," McNeal, a sixth-round draft pick taken as a wide receiver by the Cincinnati Bengals, said this week. "Then came my senior year and [Franchione's] running 60-percent option. "We had the people out wide, some star players who could go out and make plays. We still could have been throwing the ball, running the ball and doing like we were my junior year. But it is what it is."
"I know that people are wanting to get a vertical game going because people know that Stephen can throw the vertical ball," Rodney McGee said. "In my heart, I believe that as this team matures they're going to find that capability."
