POTTS WILL FINALLY MEET McCOY AND KEENUM
By mark rogers

Perhaps the best and most nationally recognized Big Country quarterback trio to EVER play in the same era will finally get a chance to settle things on the field in the first few weeks of the college football season.
I'm not 100 percent sure if Taylor Potts (Abilene High), Case Keenum (Wylie) and Colt McCoy (Jim Ned) ever met head to head in 7-on-7 or some other unofficial game or practice, but I know they never met in regular season action as Texas High School Quarterbacks.
Taylor Potts will lead the Texas Tech Red Raiders into Austin to face Heisman Trophy candidate, Colt McCoy, and the (most likely) #2 ranked Texas Longhorns on September 19.
Not sure why Tech decided to move their game with Texas up this early in the season. Historically, the Red Raiders start slow in seasons they have to break in a new quarterback and they'll only have two games to prepare for the Horns.
...and it's in Austin...
But Potts will have his chance to make his mark on the national stage early if he can pull off what would be the upset of the season in week 3.
The very next week, Potts and the Raiders will be in Houston to face the incredibly prolific Cougars led by Case Keenum.
Keenum has received some early Heisman talk in various national publications due to his impressive numbers from 2008.
Another really tough test for Potts, but if he can somehow roll through that stretch unscathed, he'll be in the Heisman race and the Red Raiders will be ranked up near the Top 5.
McCoy and Keenum won't meet this year, but maybe they'll meet up sometime in the NFL??
Those two weeks so early in the season will make me proud to be a resident of the Big Country.
Three of "our boys" will be performing on a stage being viewed by millions of Americans. And I won't make any quarantees at this point about who will win those games, but I can guarantee one thing:
No matter what happens, McCoy, Potts and Keenum will conduct themselves with class and an unwavering display of the character that should be envied by every other player and team in the country.
Those three guys families' should be proud, their friends should be proud, and everyone living in the Big Country should be proud of what they've accomplished...not to mention what they WILL accomplish in years to come.
We're getting closer to the season!!
Dallas Cowboys OTAs start tomorrow...
