I read a great article today in Austin about the K-State game and how something like this was weeks in the making. The last game Jevan Snead played in was against Rice.....almost 2 months ago. I wouldn't have let him start against a JUCO with that kind of non experience. He was only 2 of 8 in the first half for like 30 yards. We had a great run game......but we couldn't put it in the endzone.....and our passing was non existent. Bad combination. Then add in 3 fumbles and a blocked punt for a TD......and you get a string of 21 points scored in 3:06 for K-State in the 3rd quarter. Not good.
What is so troubling about this year is our pass defense. It hasn't really changed at all from last year in terms of personnel.....but we're playing horrible. Michael Griffin, Terrell Brown, and Aarron Ross were all there last year...and our pass D was dominant. 384 yards given up to KState through the air. Horrible.
I'm still optimistic about the rest of the season. There is no reason why we shouldn't make the Sugar Bowl. I think to end the season 11-2 with a 3rd straight BCS game win would far exceed anyone's thoughts about Texas without Vince.
