Ropes were drawn for Mack Brown, Greg Davis, and the entire offensive line. Luckily, the Texas PR machine, er, Mack Brown, saved the day. As first revealed by MightyHorns, Mack Brown named Major Applewhite starting quarterback in addition to naming B.J. Johnson and Roy Williams starting receivers. The moves, other than Roy Williams' promotion, aren't necessarily talent upgrades. The offense, however, will improve dramatically.
Consistency is the main ingredient in any recipe for winning.
Giving the offensive line one quarterback to block for rather than two, will help them tremendously. Chris Simms and Major Applewhite are complete opposites in the pocket. Applewhite is a relatively immobile right-hander and Simms is a lanky lefty with a tendency to scramble. Applewhite possesses incredible touch, while Simms' arm doubles as a rifle during hunting season. It may seem inconsequential, but the O-line will perform better now that they know who is taking the snaps and what weaknesses they need to protect.
