The articles seem pretty spot on. Texas, with a MASH unit for a secondary, took away Tylan Wallace at every opportunity. Chuba Hubbard is the real deal, but couldn't quite make up the difference. The QB simply (wisely) decided not to force the issue and risk turnovers. He rode Hubbard all night, and the issue was very nearly decided in his favor. Sure, a few more risks or better execution in the red zone may have helped. I'm thinking adding some jet options or speed sweeps in the run game (that QB is fast enough to put the defense in conflict with Hubbard) may have loosened up the LOS a bit.
I'm happy to see Texas can survive an imperfect game against a quality opponent and still get the W. A freshman misplaying a punt is one thing. A veteran trying to make a diving fair catch on a punt that could have rolled dead down the field for all it mattered (just having the Texas O kill oSu timeouts would have ended the game) is quite another.
Once again, the injury report today will be critical. Texas has a week to rest, but I need some weapons to start improving.
