Texas can’t stop the run (121st in the country @ 308.7yds given up), neither can KSU (80th in the country @ 171.7yds surrendered)
KSU can’t run (67th in the country) or rather refuses to.
SpiralInterception.com has thrown 5 int’s in 3 games against awful opponents, which is just 4 shy of the season total from last year.
UT actually turns the ball over less than we do (they are +2 in TO Margin, we are -2).
And if you think UT’s defense is just awful, note that our 3rd down conv rate on defense is a paltry 48% (105th in the country), UT’s is 40% (79th in the country).
I think Mack actually watches the ND St. game films and realizes that all he has to do is have Case turn around and hand off and occasionally throw a 3rd down and 4 pass to a wide open WR or Slot Receiver over the middle and keep the chains moving against our god awful defense. They are going to run the ball and run the ball and run the ball (UT is 46th in the nation in Rush O). And there really won’t be anything we can do to stop it because we haven’t shown that we can.
Meanwhile, Dr. Dementia will continue to think he’s out smarting other teams by not playing his best player on offense and put the ball in Mr. Int’s hands (at least until he throws the ball into the hands of the other team).
