UT Depth Chart

This is not what was expected. No Shipley, no Pittman, and Sweed listed as a possible backup. Jones and Cosby have an opportunity to shine.

It's because they are injured, lol.

The two things I don't care fore are the starting cornerbacks and Scott Derry starting in front of Roddrick Muckelroy.

You better hope they are healthy by TCU on Sept. 8th. Texas is awfully good but TCU is no slouch either. Those are 3 of your top WRs including an All American candidate (Sweed). If you overlook TCU they will bite you in Austin.

Just means more touches for Finley.

Hybrid TE, not game-breaking WR. Big difference there.

TE can be a game breaking player too...but anyways Sweed is listed i think probable for Ark. St game and Shipley is out with a sore hamstring and Pittman a shoulder injury...im pretty sure Sweed and Shipley and possibly Pittman will be ready by the TCU game

I read that Shipley pulled a hamstring this summer, then I was told that when Pittman was injured, Shipley's opportunity soon faded when he pulled the hamstring on his other leg.

Never said a TE could not be (Winslow father & son, Mackey, Ditka, Gates, Gonzalez, Shockey, etc.), but to say Finley right now is Sweed's caliber is erroneous & presumptious. He may turn out to be that good, but has not shown it yet. Great athlete no doubt, now show it in games.

As of now:
Sweed = probable
Pittman = out indefinitely w/ shoulder sprain, doubtful for TCU
Shipley = doubtful w/ hamstring most recent injury after knee, etc.

Sweed is your best hope as of now, with some true freshman getting time (Collins, Kirkendoll, Williams). We'll see...

it pains me to see Shipley spend so much of his college career injured. He was so much fun to watch in high school I really wanted to see how he would fare against top collegiate talent.

Agreed, lots of bad luck.

Texas is not a top 10 team at this time

I heard on college football live that Sweed will play.
I wouldnt worry about pittman and shipley not playing against Ark.St. I wouldn't play them either with the slighest injury, so they can be ready for the TCU game.

Even with two WR they still have great depth. Plus they still have Jammal Charles, Colt McCoy

[Aesculus gilmus]

You'd be amazed at what Curtis Brown could do at WR if Mack would only play him there.

Not blaming Mack, as Curtis himself wanted to be a DB at Texas.

They ought to at least let him run back kicks, though.

[JasperDog94]

Texas is very, very deep at WR. (It's a good thing too.)

I heard the sportswriter for the Austin American Statesman on the radio this morning. Don't count on Pittman for the first 3 weeks of the season.:(
