They ran up 700 yards on Tech yesterday. I would bet we couldn't do that.

 No chance in hell we could. 

[Rotty22]

Seeing so many freshmen on the 2-deep was a sign of trouble, butt not one that would indicate what happened last night.

 

What happened in South Bend wasn't a personnel problem.

 

i see what you did there.  

[Bear19]

It is the same offense, we just sped it up.

We practiced snap timing to cut the length of time between snaps.

They were measuring it and can quote you the elapsed time average.

Speeding up our offense was a bad decision. It simply means we have to punt sooner and our defense gets less rest.

Yes, but it was a good way to sell tickets to fans during the off season.

Outside of Malik, is this the only other play we made?

[North Texas Golfer]

Got to nitpick a little here. In the OP, Matt says "Heard was self-sacked twice (with an assist from porous OL play)."

 

I'll give you that on the first sack but no way the second sack was a "self-sack". Three guys were on Heard before he had a chance to do anything.

Line opens Horns -16 vs. Rice

 

 

 

update - Vegas Insider has it at -15

So we score over 20 one time in the Strong area (per another post I saw on this board) and we're giving up 16 to Rice?

[Juan]

Rice and the points may be a good bet, but I just can't do it

Tejas, my apologies man. I made the post that you are referencing and after re-reading it I realize how confusing it was. 

 

Let me try again and hope I do better.

 

Under Strong and Watson, Texas has scored less than 20 points in 7 out of 14 games. And in 6 of those 7 games, Texas scored less than 10 points. 

 

I hope this makes more sense now. Sorry about that.

I haven't made it back yet, so I don't have a DVR in front of me...if memory serves on the 2nd play, Heard got a shotgun snap, hesitated (like he didn't know the play), then hurriedly tried to make the read exchange with the RB (almost fumbling it). By the time he had the ball secured, the Irish linemen were converging.

 

You're correct, there was plenty of blame to go around on the play.

When you make that kind of money, you better have thick skin and the ability to make decisions that are best for the program.  Loyalty is a great characteristic but it can also get you fired.

No worries NT Golfer. I'm still in a funk/daze/whatever you want to call it after last night.

USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2015/09/05/texas-notre-dame-college-football/71795802/

 

 

WHAT WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT: It’s not all about Notre Dame. Though the Irish proved themselves worthy of their preseason hype, the Longhorns’ performance yielded enormous concerns over the validity of an offseason transitioning toward a spread-based foundation. Not the defense was without its own concerns: Texas had its moment of activity in the Notre Dame backfield, but the inept play of this secondary is confusing, given Charlie Strong’s defensive background.

 

But the offense is a disaster, and the main reason why Strong’s second season may resemble his first — in the standings, at least. Nowhere will the lack of punch be more evident — and more of an Achilles' heel — than during league play, when the Longhorns will be forced to score in bunches to keep pace with Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma and the rest of the Big 12 Conference. 

[Juan]

Excluding the true freshmen, did the play of anyone on the team improve over the Spring/Summer?

Several were worse - Haines, Flowers, Green Mile, Thomas (I guess?)

Who did this coaching staff make better?

also from that USA Today ^^^ piece on us --

 

It’s been suggested that the Texas offense made an offseason move toward this century, scrapping a pro-style system predicated on timing and perfection for a spread-based, up-tempo slant in the vein of conference rivals Baylor and TCU, let alone the wide majority of high schools within the program’s home state.

 

Yet this isn’t quite true: Texas’ offense isn’t different, exactly — in fact, it’s the same offense at its core, simplified slightly through terminology, merely run at a quicker speed.  As a potential solution, it’s akin to fixing a broken bicycle chain by pedaling faster.

Update/correction - this USAToday list from above was "as of  2014"

tOSU gave Urban a pay raise after the end of last season, so his salary will actually be more than Strong's for 2015
