Good chart.  I sure hope we have enough cushion this week to give the backup qbs some time.  Don't want a 2009 repeat and need to give Malik some reps.  Interesting that Goosby got the playing time and no others.  With the depth at OL, a good reflection on Goosby.

That is a beautiful stadium. Raucous crowd too for a baptist school.

My wife's best friend's husband works on the security team and is usually assigned the student section. He likes that section because he stays busy.

I hope we shut them up early and often.  I’d love to see Murphy take snaps the entire 4th qtr

Well, you take away the pick 6 in the Wyoming game, that score is 24-10 and we're not feeling as good about things.

Well, you take away the pick 6 in the Wyoming game, that score is 24-10 and we're not feeling as good about things.

But you can’t take those things away. The defense is playing great football. The D has shown up in all of the games. That gives me a lot of hope because the offense has so many playmakers that you (or QE or SS) can’t hold it back for an entire game. At some point this year the whole offense will come together and what we’ve been waiting for will have arrived. 
 

Just finished some really strong burnt orange koolaid.

speaking of charts.....did you notice that little astrik on the chart Barron showed us?( thanks for that Barron) ....NO team has allowed fewer penetrations into the red zone than Texas....That made me sit straight up......wow!

 

[longhorndon]

....NO team has allowed fewer penetrations into the red zone than Texas....

Reminds me of my ex-wife.

Hard to understand how we are dead last in offensive success rate. Worse than Baylor ?

It has quite a bit to do with Texas being bad on deep balls.

It has a lot to do with Texas being inefficient on first and second downs, like those early penalties on the OL against Wyoming.

They're also not very good when those situations lead to them having to gain big yardage on third or fourth downs.

I imagine a poor completion percentage on random deep balls feeds into all of it as well since it keeps the offense behind the chains.
