He was reported to be back to 100%, but I really don't think he ever got his confidence back. It looked like he was doing fine way back in the spring, so that's really the only thing I can think of.

Has he been hurt or something? He was money (most of the time) last year, and has just totally faded away. We don't get much Hog news in TX and wondering if there is a story....thx Can someone let me know what has led to the total implosion of Tejada? Has he been hurt or something?

Were giving up terrible numbers in the 1st qr. Your right about those QBs. After this week, the best of them will probably be gone until LSU. Lee seem's to be coming along pretty well for the Tigers. Right now though, I wouldn't be too eager to line up against Jevan Snead either. Even if he isn't a consistant passer right now, he still has the wheels to hurt us, and after watching McCoy dismantle us as much with his legs, as he did with his arm, it's a pretty good bet he will. Snead is a R.S. Fresh, which is really his only problem, and Ole Miss's defensive front 4, may be as good as any in the SEC. Thier overall speed on defense play's 2nd to knowone. So what does it all mean for the Hogs? It probably mean's were not going to get very many breaks in the competition this year. As far as saying our D is as bad or worse than the 1990 D goes, I choose to stay away from that discussion for a few more weeks. The competition was a lot less than what were seeing now, and I can't even remember what kind of defense we ran then. I also can't remember a time when our defense had this many young players it was relying on either. All I know for sure, is that this is the absolute worst possible position a new div I coach could get himself into. It's a complete over-haul to say the least.

Well, we have seen the two best QBs we will see this year. This week will make it three. After that maybe we will be able to keep it under 30 points a game. Beyond that, I'm not sure what your argument is for this bunch getting better. Sure , they will learn and grow week to week but, of course so will the opposition. This schedule is way too tough for this defense. Some of these freshmen and sophmores will get bigger and stronger and be around in a couple of years. But, if we are to compete in the SEC some will be replaced by bigger, stronger, meaner, guys. The best thing that could happen to these guys is an offense that will score and keep them off of the field.
