He didn't disappear in big games? Did you watch him this year?
Against OU: 12 of 29 for 158, 41.4%, 2 TD 1 INT
Against a TERRIBLE TT defense: 15 of 24 for 131, 1 TD 1 INT (not bad, but a LOT less than what a good QB would get against TT)
Against Colorado: 10 of 21 for 146, 47.6%, 0 TD 0 INT
Besides Texas, who he didn't play against, those were his 3 toughest conference games, all on the road, and he was unspectacular in each of them.
