Just finished watching the game. We are the kings of the football version of the "rope-a-dope strategy.
Pretend to play inept ball against a truly inept team, to make Texas believe we are inept. Brilliant!!
Pretend to get stupid penalties all night long. Check
Pretend to get zero push for our RB's. Check
Pretend to have a weak interior DL and D middle. Check
Pretend to have a kicker that can only kick it to the 15, perhaps the 10. Check
Pretend to give Tayson 4 or 5 minutes of time and have Taysom pretend he can't find ANY open receivers in that time. Check
Pretend to make stupid coaching decisions regarding kickoff penalties on UCONN and declining field position. Check
Pretend we can't put a team away and pretend to allow them to stay around. Of course, check!
Seriously, if we play as sloppy and as stupid ball against Texas as we did tonight, we lose by at least 21.
