Here's this week's Questions Answered! Good stuff this week - you got us to disagree on a few things.

Great stuff.

The Q&A that got me was the fact that you all feel that our defense will give up right around 20 ppg. That was fairly disconcerting at first, but then I remembered that we play against Big 12 offenses such as Baylor, Tech, OU and OSU who are all very good on that side of the ball. If we can keep those offenses between 25-30 points, we'll have a shot.

20 ppg would have been good for No. 12 in the nation in 2013.

So Tyler Moore is willing to commit knowing he has a greyshirt offer if we get commits from the other OL we expect?

Texas gave up 25.8 in 2013. I would hope we can improve on this

That number is a little distorted. 

1-We gave up 40/44 to BYU and Ole Miss. The D drastically improved simply by losing Manny Diaz. 

2-Oklahoma State, Baylor and Oregon games also drive this number up. Case McCoy turnovers make this number much higher then it really is. Texas was actually very good defensively in the Oregon and Baylor games, but Case McCoy's ineffectiveness lead to more points for both teams.

Starting with the Ole Miss game, TEXAS (not the defense) average 22.6 points per game so improving on  that isn't far fetched. . .

Drilling down there were  Six    Pick 6's   1-OU  2-OSU 1 BU 2-Oregon,

so in reality the D only gave up 18.8 points per game after Greg showed up. . . .

This is one stat to watch .. . 

Another will be 3rd down conversions/TOP for the O as well as improving on red zone scoring with a focus on TDs.

Same for the D, red zone scoring with a focus on TD's allowed. . .
