Of the 11 rushes of 8 or more, 6 were by RBs. And the 26yd TD was a designed run

Sorry, but the run blocking was just fine.

Now, that doesn't mean it will be good enough vs Texas, but vs UConn it was quite good.

Rewatched the game and noticed that Hill called several audibles last night.

Yes the O-line has improved. I still rate them below average.

No fall starts and not a sack and you rate the OL below average???

Yeah... let me edit that a bit... my old brain... anyway. Protection was better

They did allow one sack, but they definitely looked above average.

I forgot to mention the no false starts. That was also a huge improvement.

I would rate them AT LEAST average now, if not slightly above average

BUT, Taysom can PASS now, as we saw last night and UT will find out next wk

You know Texas will put a TON more pressure on TH this year

Yep. Taysoms arm will have to win the Texas game.

I think it will be his head more than his arm - pre snap reads will be critical

That TD pass to Houk was just brilliant. I think it exemplifies Taysom's best

Agreed. He couldn't have made that throw last year, and he wouldn't have tried

IF UConn was only bringing 3 then, that shows how accurate Hill really was.

That little back shoulder pass to Matthews in the first quarter was beautiful

oline was not particularly impressive with run blocking

5.5 yards per rush.

SpiffCoug

I think the majority of those higher yards per carry

I agree, but at the same time, our RBs (w/out JW) are not that impressive
