Since the game I had a lot of conversations with friends and family around the country - same as you guys I imagine.
One question keeps coming up, and it's not a new one: how and why do the Longhorns struggle on offense?
The thinking is that Texas HS FB is some of the best in the country, producing NFL-caliber offensive talent year after year.
Naturally UT is the big boy in Texas so why do schools like OU, TTU, Houston, Baylor, TCU, aTm, and others keep getting all of our talent? Why do those schools have explosive offenses year after year while Texas languishes in mediocrity? TTU and Houston have almost a mile of combined offense, one with a freshman QB, while Texas has a sub-50% completion rate?
I don't have the answer.
But a good friend of mine (an alum and an Ex) pointed out that we're the one school that has never had a coach from the Mike Leach tree or associated with the Air Raid offensive style ubiquitous in Texas HS FB. And that's true.
OU has cycled through tons of Air Raid guys. Tech was built on it. aTm bought in. Briles *spit* was an innovator at Baylor.
Why not Texas?
