Texas took a pre-test in Arkansas that revealed what they needed to learn. They spent the intervening weeks taking chapter quizzes. Now, it's time for a true midterm.
I believe Texas finally has the OL it needs. Wish it wouldn't have happened this way, but I feel Andrej Karic is the angry bastard that was lacking. OL is an ugly, thankless, pain-filled job that should be done by angry people. If we're playing power offense, he's not ideal. As a RT for Bijan and Casey, he's quick and violent. I'm confident that the Texas offense can put sufficient points on the board to succeed.
I'm not comfortable bringing in the defense without a credible pass rush. Recent history says this is exactly what Texas should do, because Rattler's been losing his cool and throwing into coverage when he doesn't need to, but that plan freaks me out. The pass defense hasn't put it all on the same page yet. I'd like to be able to harass the QB without bringing extra players.
The only plan is that this game doesn't ever go according to the plan.
