2.5 quarters. Sure, we still moved the ball but their game plan limited our big plays and gave then a chance to hang around. Also, if the opposing team has the ball with two minutes left in the game with a chance to tie it, the game is in doubt.

Will you forward it to Bronco and Anae as well?

sure worked well for Houston - signed 323 yards rushing.

The key with Houston is that they don't have the same athletes and execution

yeah only because BYU went ultra conservative not because of defense.

Maybe he means UT then since they have better athletes than Utah and

Texas could have used this since they had no idea what to expect.

Texas is trying to instill a new culture and they have a new head coach. Plus

You don't need the long ball. Quite opposite, you need an efficient, quick pass

I disagree. Riley Nelson did pretty good with the short passing game and we all

If a team takes away the time to get over the top, then you just get sacked.

Very true. Taysom has to have time to throw the ball downfield. I guarantee that

Eight in the box is not enough to stop Taysom.

It was vs Utah last year. It's plenty with as good as the front 7 for VA are.

TheRowdy

9/19/14 5:44pm

Pretty sure they'll need at least 12 in the box this year and maybe even 13

giftedfish

9/19/14 5:50pm

Taysom is better and has more weapons than he had against Utah

Did you not see who played up front for Texas?

PolarisPrime

yeah, because this offense hasn't learned a thing or improved at all

binghammer

9/19/14 6:39pm

Certainly they're better, but look at what Houston did to us in the 2nd half.

TheRowdy

9/19/14 7:05pm

I agree. You can't stop him but you can hit him and slow him down with eight in

Until we can really move the ball through the air you are right. Our receivers

I think he generally had plenty of time. Typical QB timer is supposed to be 2.5s

This was Texas' recipe -- they had great talent, and they got smoked.
