The media harps on every mistake he makes, yet they never mention the terrible plays that he makes good things happen on. I do believe that Ash has more athletic talent, but McCoy has a lot better head on his shoulders and can make good things happen out of bad things. Case is not going to set the world on fire, but Ash is terrible in my books. And yes, I was also at the UT-Baylor game in Waco that year when Case threw several INTs.
I did not catch the game yesterday as I do not get LHN, but 2 interceptions aren't going to change my opinion of him, and when you say there were a lot of over and under throws, as long as he still had a 69% completion rate yesterday I'll take it.
Last year Ash couldn't do anything against OU, yet McCoy came in at the end and threw a couple of TDs.
Ash also couldn't do anything against TCU last year, McCoy came in and scored and made it close. UT even had a chance to win at the end, and yes Case threw an INT, but had Case not come in in the first place it wouldn't have gotten close enough that Texas had a chance.
Don't forget Case had to come in to bail out Ash against Kansas last year as well.
Oh, I think Case also beat OU pretty handily this year. And lets not forget the game winning drive he put together at Kyle Field against the Aggies a couple of seasons ago.
