I think a lot of its on Snyder. Once we got up by 2 scored in the 1st quarter we seemed to coast. 1st quarter we had 121 yards on 17 plays, good for 7.1 yards per snap.

The rest of the game we had 132 yards on 42 plays, good for 3.1 yards per snap.

Our offensive line didn't play great, and TCU's front played really well, but after the 1st quarter Snyder went into "let's get home" mode.

And we've had 2 poor offensive performances this year, TCU and ISU. The only two games we've been worse than our average yards per play. However, against every other Big 12 opponent, we've been better by at least 1 yard per snap offensively than what our opponents give up on average. Including pretty good defenses in OU and Tech.

Isn't Snyder praised for being the one to NOT let his teams do that?

It depends. Snyder has been known to reign it in. After we got the lead he started to play the field position and the wind because it think he realized TCU wasn't going to score a bunch on our defense.

And it worked really well. It was 23-0 in the 4th and we cruised to a win. It was the classic "grinder" football game.

We had to try to find ways to move the ball, and it got to a point where we were conservative in order to get the game over with. The score dictated that.

additionally from LHCHCBS on Klein:

"He played reasonably well," said coach LHC Bill Snyder. "He made the plays he had to make in the ball game, but we were probably a little conservative for him. We could have given him more chances than we did."
