Iām afraid we could play our best, limit turnovers & personal fouls, Herman doesnāt screw things up too bad, and we still lose.
A look at the stats, itās an upside-down world, especially for the Cowboys:
Texas total offense, #18; Okie St, #40;
Texas total defense, #43; Okie St, #19.
Weāre even better than the Cowboys in turnover margin. We already know the bad news: Texasā penalties, #87 (of 101).
On offense, I would feel much better if our running game wasnāt so spotty (#43). I realize Sam could get himself killed running too much, but we need him to do that. Their pass D has been solid (#16). We already know our pass D hasnāt been great (#68), yes, weāve already played Okla. (#7 passing) & Tech (#24 passing). TCU (#31).
I wish I could believe we get a couple of stops on D, win the turnover battle, Sam moves the chains, and we donāt shoot ourself in the foot with penalties. Alas, I donāt think this Texas team can pull it all off in one game. Obviously, I hope Iām wrong.
