With the right people stepping up, your Cowboys could cause some damage to other Big 12 teams. Tony Lindsay stood in the bowels of a stadium named after an old quarterback and tried to tell us that quarterbacks are no big deal. Tony Lindsay stood in the bowels of a stadium named after an old quarterback and tried to tell us that quarterbacks are no big deal. Football is a quarterback's world. More now than ever before, quarterbacks get the glory, get the girls, get the grief.
Quarterbacks win and lose games, make or break seasons, end or extend careers.
Tougher sell, considering the game Lindsay had just played Saturday at Darrell Royal-Memorial Stadium. Texas' 42-7 rout of Oklahoma State is the smoking gun. OSU's best chance in this one was for UT coach Mack Brown to keep running Chris Simms into the game. Simms played the first two series, didn't produce a first down other than standing still for a personal-foul penalty and Applewhite came to the rescue. The next we saw of Simms, Texas led 36-7.
