College Career
Mock was a backup quarterback during the Chris Simms–Major Applewhite years, before getting the starting job in 2003. He played well in the first several games of the season before being pulled for Vince Young during the 2003 game versus the Oklahoma Sooners. He alternated time with Young after that, providing a very accurate classic drop-back threat to complement Vince Young's scrambling abilities.
Mock was the subject of much speculation during the 2003–2004 off-season as to whether he would transfer from Texas based on Vince Young winning the starting job. However, he decided to stay at Texas to be second string quarterback for the 2004 season.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
