Good God - I just looked at the box score for Texas - TT. Can somebody explain how in the hell a team can have 519 passing yards and only 21 rushing yards? Does Tech literally have no options at tailback or is the o-line blocking that bad? This prompted me to look up the season stats, and so far Tech has about 3250 passing yards and 640 rushing yards.

A good team to contrast that with is Oregon, which also runs the spread. So far this year it looks like we've got just over 2,100 passing yards and 1,600 rushing yards.

In total yards the teams are pretty close (Tech has just under 200 more), but Oregon is scoring about seven more points per game.

Lunch is over so I gotta quit wasting time looking up football stats.
Well, we lost our stud running back last year to graduation. We're now stuck playing a sophomore. He really has done a pretty good job this year, except in this game. Texas shut down the running game which isn't anything new. They did that against Ohio State too and basically everyone they've played. You're not going to beat Texas on the ground. They have one of the worst passing defenses in the nation for a reason. Something is definitely wrong with our offense this year. Could be our O-line, could be our QB, who knows. Changes will be made though. What a wasted year for us. frown
