Ryan Bridges breaks down film from the Longhorns’ shutout loss to Iowa State on Halloween night.
1. I’ve seen some complaints about how much Texas threw the ball. They should have thrown it more. The run game wasn’t working because Iowa State had 8-9 guys in the box on run downs and the interior of the offensive line was in the backfield a lot. Sedrick Flowers and Taylor Doyle need to be replaced. Wickline is surely aware, which means he hasn’t been able to groom anyone who’s better, which is almost as bad as if he weren’t aware.
2. You may be asking yourself, “If Iowa State was committing eight and nine guys to stopping the run, surely there were opportunities in the passing game, right?” Right. This is what Texas was seeing nearly all of the first three quarters.
