With the exception of one game K St has relied on its rushing game

The Horns held Iowa St to 10 yards rushing
This is what I have been thinking.  If all they can do is run, then we should have their number.
Except Snyder is an old wizard who knows how to get more with less, and he knows how to game plan.  This part worries me.

Buechele practiced without the boot Tuesday

It looks like he'll be the starter this Saturday

The Texas defense is executing at a high speed - filling gaps and playing their roles instinctively. I expect KSU to attempt to slow that aggression with screens and the dreaded "pop pass". The QB pretends to run a draw, the linemen run block, then the TE sprints out to catch a pass. 

The only defense on this play is to have the safety run with the TE at all times.

Based on what Mr T says, and after thinking it through - the QB decision is more a triviality and a distraction than anything else.  But we fans love to hang it all on the QB.

But more that worrying about QB, we've got to win some first downs, as Tulip says.  Whatever we can patch together for an OL, and possibly getting Carter out on the field could likely mean more than who's at QB.

I've seen plenty of Porter, last year and this year.  The guy goes down as soon as he is grazed.  And while Warren can make a putrid defense look putrid, he doesn't do much against serviceable defenses.

I think I'll worry more about getting Carter some reps rather than worrying about Shane vs. Sam.  And whether or not we can open up some holes.
Second time ever, I agree with every single point in a 95 post. ;)
Of course a lot of that is because droog is right, as per usual.
Let's just see the o-line man up and win some battles.  I've seen it happen at Texas before.  It's been a long time, since about 2006, but I'm always hopeful that once again, we could have a competent, if not great, o-line...

Every game from here on out is our season.  With two losses already, a third would have the season basically coming to an end.     What concerns me about KSU is that they have owned us since BIG 12 play started.  I also wonder about attendance Saturday.  I bet there will be several thousand seats empty like there was for the Maryland game.

I just dont think the Horns were ever forecast to go 10 and 2
UT will lose at least 3 more times this year
This is a must win game but not all of them will be

A 3rd loss and the season is over?  Wow, you may live to see one more week.

Attendance issues?  Well sure, Longhorn football has been thru some hapless drama the last several years, and it has taken its toll on folks.  And it's the same old line-up, K-State, I-State, a church school, Tx Tech, maybe West freaking remote Virginia...  it's really not marquee stuff.  I'm not even sure winning will fix it.  Meanwhile, Austin traffic takes no prisoners, so there is an element of brain damage to conquer when taking in a football game these days.

Really? Then put North Texas, South Dakota State, Hofstra, Oral Roberts, Mary Hardin Baylor, etc..  on the schedule.  Let's win every game and pack out the stadium.

Well Aggy is already having trouble filling up its stadium and that's with an SEC schedule.
I dare say Texas with an SEC schedule would be packed full in Austin TX every game day.  Even if visitors had to do their share.

I agree with that assessment of 10-2.    Win today and beat OU next week and who knows.   Winning will fill DKR up.      The line for todays game has Texas favored by 6.

Man what a game.  I could go another decade without seeing another 2OT game.

Anyway, honk the horns.  Any win over KSU is a good win for our program.

Time to start thinking about the next one.
