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.
