Mike Leach was asked at his Monday news conference if the answer to who starts at quarterback -- Taylor Potts (reported as a concussion, though no official word from Tech) or Steven Sheffield -- will be a game-time decision.
"Not to do anything to diminish the excitement and anticipation of a gametime decision because I think that would screw up the whole thing and then we'd be less 'big-time' around here and that would certainly be disturbing to everybody," Leach said, "I think that the biggest thing is we're going to look at practice and see how people do in practice and see how they play in practice and perform in practice."
Leach had this to say about whether Potts was cleared to play:
"Well, unless you know that he's ever not been cleared to play because we've been 100 percent healthy and the rest," Leach said. "I'll tell you another interesting thing on that injury thing while we're on the subject. The thing that goes over everybody's head is, did you know that it was illegal to discuss those things in the first place? Doctors aren't all owed to so why would they turn me loose with it? I realize that there are those that fold to the pressure and there are those that potentially put themselves in a bad legal situation as far as yammering on about their team's situation but I think that in the interest of not exposing myself to any legal ramifications, I think it'd be best to follow the law like the doctors do and not talk about the injuries."
Got it?
