First, bad calls and team mistakes do exist in the same game. And did, in this game.
Our redzone was the difference. They were 4-4, for 24 pts. We were 2-3 for 14 pts and a turnover.
That turnover and the follow up horrible roughing call ultimately decided the game.
A blocked punt and a missed FG was a Special Teams contribution to our failure. BUT, they returned the favor by also missing a FG and the worst punting game I can remember at Texas.
I actually thought OCTM called a good game given our horrible running game. We were in position for 17 more points but player turnovers, drops and a missed FG negated it.
We were awfully young in the secondary and at LB. Played hard, mostly well, but made mistakes.
I assume we use 2 in punt protection instead of 3 to get one more into coverage. Might want to reconsider that.
Texas has some stud running backs.
They also have offensive linemen who know how to hold.
Their DT'S are men.
