Chance Mock is a former American football quarterback who played college football for the University of Texas and played professionally for the Austin Wranglers in the Arena Football League. Mock was an announcer for the Wranglers, before they folded in 2008. As a Longhorn, he threw for over 1500 yards with only 2 interceptions and still holds the record for lowest interception ratio in a season.
Chance Mock attended The Woodlands High School in Houston, Texas, where he was a Parade All-American in 2000. Mock ranked number 9 on the Austin American-Statesman's College Football Recruiting Fab 55 for 2000, committing to The University of Texas at Austin that year.
Mock redshirted his first year and then was a backup quarterback for two years behind Chris Simms and Major Applewhite and during that time threw only eight passes. He entered spring practice in a battle for the starting job with redshirt freshman Vince Young, but after a spectacular spring game was named the starter.
He started the first 6 games of the 2003 season, leading the Longhorns to a 4-2 record. That included a loss, at home, against unranked Arkansas in which Mock played arguably his best game, throwing for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions and one fumble, but it was not enough to overcome errors on special team and poor defensive play. In the win over #16 Kansas State, Mock played well in the first half, but was ineffective in the second, and Young led Texas to score 10 points on his two drives, including scoring the game-winning touchdown. Against #1 Oklahoma the following week, Mock was named the starter late, but Young came in on the second drive and saw the majority of play. Following that loss, Young took over as the starter, primarily because coaches felt that the poor play of the offensive line necessitated a more mobile quarterback. He alternated time with Young after that, providing a very accurate classic drop-back threat to complement Vince Young's scrambling abilities. With Young under center, Texas reeled off 6 straight wins including dominating victories over #9 Nebraska, #21 Oklahoma State and on the road against Texas A&M. Mock played little in most of those games, but against Texas Tech, when the offense sputtered in the 4th quarter, he came off the bench with two minutes left to engineer an 86-yard game-winning touchdown drive. After #5 Texas was denied a BCS game due to a controversial rule limiting each conference to only two BCS berths, they found themselves instead in the Holiday Bowl against #13 Washington State. Young played a below par game, and Texas found themselves behind 20-10 in the third quarter when Mock, who had set up three of Texas' points on one of his two series in the first half, took over. He rallied the Longhorns to within one score and had them on Washington State's 11 yard line, when a blitz and sack turned into a fumble and Texas came up short.
