Where's all the media complaints and tweets now?

Alright, what’s with your weird random bolding, dude? Yeah, I’m going to get the poster responses pointing out that you’re a bot, but explain it to me @LTtxfan.

How vanilla was the Texas offense?

In the first 25 minutes, they ran RB counter 3 times, split flow zone twice, QB draw once.  Everything else was tight zone.  No swing pass with TE lead that they use as an extension of the running game and that would have attacked the bail technique used by WVU in their cover 3.  No designed QB runs other than the one draw play.  No keepers from zone read looks to make the defense play honest.

Then on the last scoring drive of the half Texas starts to mix it up and just marches down the field.  We see outside zone and it's very effective when the DL slants because their momentum is already parallel to the LOS and you can just help them keep running themselves out of the play.  Suddenly the tight (inside) zone becomes effective also.  Herman calls a bootleg with pulling lineman protecting.  It doesn't work but gives the D something to think about.  Then after successfully diversifying the offense, Texas goes back into a play calling shell after halftime.

Thanks for checking, it definitely felt this way in real time. Herman seems to save a lot of the good stuff for big games. Makes sense but gets into trouble when you can't just out-talent every mediocre opponent (yet).

The play calling/game plan against OSU and WVU definitely left something to be desired. I noticed they would start pretty vanilla, then run Sam and get creative when both games were close around half time, then go back to more vanilla when they felt they had a safe lead.

I’m hopeful this means they don’t all of a sudden suck, but rather have been trying to conserve Sam and save stuff for OU, but we’ll see. It would be really nice if they would just call the full playbook for every game and beat the shit out of inferior teams.
