Michael Collins

[McGregor's Goat]

I might be ridiculed for even bringing this up, but career passing numbers at TCU:

Pct - Y/A - TD - INT - Rating
Collins: 56.6 - 7.6 - 6 - 2 - 131.6
Duggan: 54.8 - 6.4 - 15 - 8 - 119.4

I understand that Duggan is more talented, is a much better runner, and most importantly is a true freshman. I fully agree that Duggan should be the starter. I think both guys have been hurt by playing in a poorly designed and coached offense. I'm just pointing out that Duggan isn't *already* a better passer than Collins. I think the fact that Duggan was a highly rated recruit and Collins was a transfer from Penn has a big impact on how people view both guys. If Collins had played against OU and the game went down the same way, with him going 7/21 for 65 yards, he would have taken a lot of crap for it.

What's done is done. Collins couldn't stay healthy and he wasn't great when he played (just better than Robinson or Delton). Now I just hope that Baldwin can play, we're suddenly very thin at the position.

Shocking how many of you continue to bring this up but somehow missed the article that said Duggan had an equipment problem that series....

If you really care that much I am sure you can find the reference

Thanks for the information.

^^^ Yeah, first I'd heard of that.

I'm wondering why Collins announced his decision before the last game? Seems he might have a chance to play on Friday if if if we could actually open up a sizable lead in the 4th.

I guess coaches will turn to Downing or Baldwin first now.

Maybe he is still recovering from the injury and made a business decision based on it. Also, by announcing earlier I suppose he lets more coaches have an opportunity to learn about him.

Very mature

I thought it was very direct.

I might have some eligibility left

Could’ve gone pro if I didn’t get Tommy John in both of my knees.

 

[Frogmore]

Seems likely that he was not going to be ready with a lacerated kidney. I'd think that is an injury that keeps you out longer than a couple weeks. This way, he gets his name in the portal and coaches can start talking to him.

Not sure we're gonna be opening up a sizable lead on Friday. I'm just hoping for a win and that Max stays healthy for the whole game.

smoo's next QB?

Everyone seems to think Beuchele was a senior this year. He's got another year of eligibility and I doubt he's seen as much of an NFL prospect so I doubt he leaves early.

According to Pete Thamel, Rice will add former TCU quarterback Michael Collins as a graduate transfer on Wednesday.

Go Mike, enjoy Houston (and tell anyone who asks, why yes, that is a TCU ring).
