Former Texas Starter Garrett Gilbert Transferring To SMU

Working with June Jones should be a boost for Gilbert’s college career, not to mention playing against Big East defenses instead of Big 12 defenses.

The news comes from Kirk Bohls, who also speculates on Gilbert’s eligibility and possible landing spots.

Ash is averaging 9.3 yards per attempt on the year, while McCoy has completed seven of his 10 attempts. Itty bitty sample sizes all around for both of those. Ash also adds a dimension or three, having rushed nine times for 36 yards and caught a 23-yard pass.

It’s hard to say which of the two will end up with more playing time by the end of the year, but Gilbert’s completion percentage is under 50 after two games, so something had to be done.

Texas had 166 yards on the ground, led by Browns’ 68 yards with Cody Johnson adding a pair of second-half touchdown runs, including a four-yard run with 8:46 to play that turned out to be the game’s deciding points.

Cougars sophomore quarterback Jake Heap was 22-of-38 for 192 yards and a touchdown on the night, but was intercepted twice. Heap’s first interception came late in the first half and led to a Longhorn’s field goal, and again on BYU’s final offensive possession of the game.

Wood was a three-time all-state selection out of high school in Houston and a star recruit in 2010, but pretty much everybody Texas brings on is all-Texas-something or other and a star recruit. He’s already spent his redshirt year and will be able to join the Buffaloes on the field next year.

Colorado fans are mostly fine with the idea, but do note they have some young incoming talent at the position already.

The 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman out of Houston was a four-star recruit and remains a solid student, but is staring a long way up the depth chart at the moment.

Texas revealed its 2011 depth chart on the Longhorn Network Monday. That the Texaswide Leader spent only an hour on the task should be applauded, I guess, but you’d think they’d rather take two or three, because what else are they going to talk about for the other 167 hours this week? Rice football?
