It really shouldn't be a big surprise with what happened Saturday.
The OL is not there yet. Ewers didn't make it six quarters behind that line before he was knocked out, Card is harassed every time he drops back and half the time the RB was met in the backfield after taking a handoff. In the 2nd half Tech showed four man, five man and six man fronts and the OL fell apart. That hit on Bijan in OT looked like Captain Insano doing a pile driver.
Same with the DL. There is no Brian Orakpo/Shawn Rogers/Casey Hampton/Tony Brackens talent on campus right now. They are improved, I was impressed at times with the DT play in the interior but they rarely pressure the QB with a four man rush (zero pressure with three man rush as we all know). When we blitz they whiff on the tackle half the time when they over run the QB or he puts a little move on them.
Texas doesn't have the talent ready to win the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball and the old saying goes the games are won in the trenches. Maybe they did against ULM but they will struggle in conference. The equalizer is Texas has skill players at RB & WR, and maybe TE & QB.
Every game with be a 50/50 coin toss so if you are going to start crying and throwing tantrums every time Texas loses maybe you should find something else to do during games.
*Statistics show TT beats Texas every 4.5 years and Texas had won the last four games, even the last two in Lubbock, so Tech was due.
