When is the last time this team really put things together and played well? I would say going back to Texas last year this team has not played a game anywhere near their full potential and have a 3-3 record. There have been plenty of games like yesterday where they dominated in lots of areas but either lost or barely beat an inferior opponent. I hope they really put it to La Monroe. This team needs to remember what it's like to completely dominate a game.
The last time we played well was West Virginia last year. We have become very predictable from a run pass stand point since then at least from a formational stand point. You have been able to guess with about an 85-90% accuracy what we are going to do based on formation since Texas Tech last yr.
I know we rushed for 170 yards against Tech but they were bad last yr and we struggled more than I thought we would. And then I know we beat Kansas and Baylor but both of those teams out gained us on the ground and out averaged us on yards per carry.
That is why Texas looked so dominate. Sure they may have better athletes, but they actually watched film and realized how predictable we are.
Nothing has changed even with Manning back. We are still throwing darts at a board to call plays. And we have not been in an offensive flow in our last 9 games.
