It was a good spot for Texas tech to catch them off guard . I totally get that.
But , My eye test says Texas longhorn tackling was atrocious . I don’t know how that gets fixed . I would be very surprised if Texas tech has a great season. Don’t see nfl talent on that roster.
TEXAS HAS OKLAHOMA ON DECK next week
on 10/10.
I am not saying Texas will look past TCU, certainly not but the fact remains , Texas v OKlahoma is a big game.
Gary Patterson owns Texas . 6 of last 8.
Has Beat QB Elinnger twice . Who can barely throw a football by the way of spiral . (My opinion)
Some nuggets to add
-Coaching advantage , (biggest improvements happen From week 1 to 2?) Texas got drastically worse week 1 to 2 , Hopefully TCU can improve.
- mental advantage on both angles (tcu bounce back , Texas looking ahead to OU)
-legit undervalue TCU Qb spot, was 16/19 passing in second half . Baller .
- +13 road dog appears short to the public ? It Caught my eye. Texas just laid
17.5 on the roadand now to a 0-1 TCU , Texas is JUST -13 at home. Texas should be a public play to bounce back and I don’t know how that can be thought fully through .
-defensive bounce back for both teams.?.. but which team Realistically bounces back on D , the team that just had a total at 42.5 or 71.5..... that is a angle I really like I feel like is 60% + over the years.
-TCU oline looked suspect , potential weak spot going into the season. Having a more mobile guy back there should help. Granted both guys are pretty shifty. Does Texas have premier pass rush? to expose , yes they have the best one in the big 12. Oline needs to improve .
-TCU defense was suppose to be very good this year. Giving up 37 points is not a good look.
-of note TCU went 5-7 last year with a record of 1-6 in games decided by 7. That’s certainly a STAT for them in 2019.... gotta think that’s advantage to a +13 spot for them??
- this QB Duggan , frosh of the year finalist in big 12 last year. Heart condition thing this off season and even recently , misses ton of reps yet is 16/19??? Special .
-I really believe TCU was headed towards a bounce back year , until they had to start a former walk on at QB against Iowa state. Some value all around in this game. I could see the public baking the Texas bounce back more so than the Duggan 4 quarters start along with all factors involved. Let’s track it this week.
-SO, ULL beats Iowa state by 17 then Iowa state beats TCU by 3 (was 9 with 2 seconds left) how much should Texas beat TCU by . I could see people answering 20+...
