Thursday OU thought

[Matt Cotcher]

Tuesday's thought (defense)

Wednesday's thought (fair food)

Total Offense

vs BYU: 258 yds

vs UCLA: 322 yds.

vs KU: 329 yds.

vs Baylor: 334 yds

Lost in the discussion on the offensive output in the Baylor game is the fact that Texas ran the ball well enough to continue an extremely modest trend of improving total yardage output. 

Quite simply the goal for the OU game should be to combine the rushing success of the Baylor game with Ty Swoopes' performance in the passing game vs UCLA. That would net about 400 total yards and, for now, combining those performances appears to be the ceiling for the offense.

Given the way the defense is playing, that kind of output is enough to beat OU with a positive turnover margin and no major ST gaffes.

The disturbing trend is the end zone.  Yards but no points mean we might win time of pos. but still lose on the scoreboard.

This is my concern, they seem to have some confidence in moving the chains but none whatsoever as they approach the end zone.

fumbles at the lip of the cup don't help.
