Can Garrett Gilbert become the next Colt McCoy?

Remember when college football fans wondered how some babyfaced quarterback could replace Vince Young's dynasty at the University of Texas? The same question is being asked 4 years later, wondering how another young quarterback expects to replace a Texas legend (yes, Colt McCoy is already a Longhorn legend). The Texas Longhorns seem to have a pipeline with college quarterbacks, when one leaves another steps in and becomes a household name.

Freshman Garrett Gilbert is expected to be the starting quarterback this season for Texas. He was a phenom in high school, setting numerous Texas state records. Many fans remember him from the 2009-2010 BCS Championship Game when he replaced an injured Colt McCoy as a redshirt freshman. He threw 2 touchdown passes but struggled with 4 interceptions against a tough Alabama defense. The expectations will be high for Garrett Gilbert this season and Texas Longhorn football fans will expect another Vince Young and Colt McCoy to develop.
