The pass rush has been noticeably better this year and they’re absolutely letting the DL get after it. If you think they’re coaching/scheming the DL the same as last year then I’m not sure what games

Curious about Horns DL depth in playoffs???

 

All of our scholly DL will play in the playoffs

Collins-Broughton

Norton-Lole

January-Hill??

The team usually goes 3 deep before garbage time of course if he is not ready he is not ready. But there is zero margin for injury.

Along with the goal line stops against aggy and a few more, I’m not sure I’ve seen a Texas team this good at defending 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1.   

Kuddos to Broughton, Norton and Collins. I know it’s a flex to score running the ball up the middle and it’s easy to criticize when you go try to pass and fail to convert, but you’d have to be nuts to run between the tackles it that situation.

DL play is going to be the key vs ASU. Skataboo is a load but his initial acceleration is not great. The ability of Longhorn DL to penetrate or create pileups at the LOS will determine if the Sun Devils can get a ground game going. Get to Skataboo’s legs while he’s trying to accelerate or turn him laterally and he becomes easier to bring down. Force him to change direction significantly and you create the same kind of window. 

A lot of Skataboo’s yards come on power, blast and counter concepts. I feel very confident that Texas could stop him with interior line play. The issue in my mind is the degree to which the defense has to account for ASU’s QB in the ground game. I can see them having some success by slowing the backside pursuit and LB commitment to their gap responsibility with QB keeper threats.

If PK is able to commit a S or NB against QB runs, ASU’s rushing attack  is probably hosed. I saw a couple of their games and the OL seemed competent but not that physical, much less dominant. KSU may have been the best D Line they’ve seen this season and they held Skataboo under 75 total and 3 YPC.

I don't think we need to commit a safety or nickel to the run. Their QB is an effective runner....but he's not a world beater with his legs. I feel like we'll play the keep everything in front of us and see what we can do with 4-5 people in the box which we should be able to handle their OL with.

Norton was a massive portal addition. I didn’t follow the portal last year so I don’t know if he was highly recruited. But I do know that we need more Bill Nortons.
