The Longhorns travel to Lubbock in the second game of Charlie Strong’s personal five-game, single-elimination tournament. Let’s see how both sides of the ball for Texas can help him survive and advance.
OFFENSE
Let’s keep this one pretty simple - the Longhorn offense should absolutely maul the Red Raiders up and down the field. This is one of the three or four worst defenses in all of college football, and they are capable of doing precisely nothing well. They climbed out of the 100’s in a couple of individual Defensive S&P measures thanks to a game against TCU where it appeared that Kenny “Trill” Hill was once again up to his gills in Strawberry Hill, but it’s highly unlikely that last Saturday was a harbinger of competence to come.
