The problem against army wasn't that they got lost in traffic....most of the big plays were straight go routes, flags, or posts. The problem for UTSA is their secondary is slow. They are big...but they are slow. Isaiah Alston is Army's go to deep threat and he is big and slow(entered transfer portal last January and had no takers)....and still burns UTSA repeatedly on straight routes. Army's running backs abused UTSA linebackers on basic wheel routes coming out of the back field. Also, UTSA didn't load up the box all game long against army, they ran a lot of 4-3 and even nickel. If they give Texas the 12 yard cushion they gave army it will get ugly......and Texas actually has speed. Army's light oline routinely moved the UTSA defensive line backwards, not talking misdirection, just flat out 1st and goal from the 3 and the dline for UTSA ended up 3 yards deep in the endzone. UTSA has a safety who is a good tackler, the rest like to dive and arm tackle.
Could we blow it against UTSA....sure....I mean we lost to Rice......but....I just can't see it. Our Oline should maul them. Whomever we line up at running back should have room to run. Army consistently got pressure with a 3 man rush.....I mean I just don't see the trap game. Sure we feel good about ourselves, but we didn't win and we won't have our starting QB....there's lot of reasons the players won't coast this week.
As for who is playing QB....Texas doesn't need their QB to win this game, they need them manage the offense. I know I know...last year, kansas, 7 game losing streak, whatever whatever whatever......Last year we had the equivalent of wet toilet paper for an oline and our defense was trash, whether they are as good as they looked or not against Bama, the oline is light years ahead of last year both in regards to talent and execution. It's amazing what giving a coach a real offseason to coach an oline can accomplish. Same with the defense. We may very well not look quite as great against UTSA, but we will still look far better than last year.
We should be 4-1 going into Dallas. We shall see if that happens.
