Looking @ Nebraska Offense

It's champeen-ship time. I'll be in Dallas eating $24 nachos and watching Chi-Os cage dance just like the rest of you, but consider this your appetizer.

The Texas Longhorns: Running Game Home Edition

Posted by HenryJames on November 9th, 2009 under Football

Thanks to the Texas coaches, we can now calculate out how well (or not well) our running game does each week. And it doesn't take even take a degree from McNeese St or a decoder ring. " "We're leading the nation in scoring? Son of a bitch!" It's a three step process. 1. List our called running plays. 2. Divide the number of runs we gained four yards, got a first down or

How the Texas Longhorns coaches measure the running game

Posted by HenryJames on November 5th, 2009 under Football

Greg Davis says that the staff is now charting what they call 'consistent runs.' And what is a 'consistent run?' If the running play 1) got four yards 2) a first down or 3) a touchdown, it's a consistent run. Their goal is 60%, and they finished the Oklahoma State game at 58%. So even though they ran it 32 times for 99 yards, they were right at their goal. Thoughts?

The New Texas Longhorn Offense

Posted by Scipio Tex on October 20th, 2009 under Football

It's an odd thing when a 6-0 football team decides midseason before its two biggest road games to bench three offensive starters, modify its base set, demote 2/3 of the starting receiving corps, change the best WRs position, tacitly admit a failure of offensive philosophy,

Expounding

And another thing! Tre Newton should start. Not because of his running ability, which is no better or worse than anyone else on the team (although it's better than any of us expected.

Running Back Optimism

Posted by The General on September 17th, 2009 under Football

Scipio Tex (who has written at length about Our Running Game) recently pointed out the danger of the running back personality cult on his Wyoming post game, and he is absolutely correct.

Why pass protection is everything

Posted by ChrisApplewhite on September 17th, 2009 under Football

If you were among those grinding their teeth into dust on Saturday, don't worry! The offenses failure to score was merely a systemic failure that lets inferior teams negate Texas' talent advantages and makes the skill players be perfect in order to score.

Beating Shitty Defenses: the 2008 Texas Longhorns

Posted by BrickHorn on September 1st, 2009 under Football

I've spent some time here and there over the last couple of days collecting statistical data on the Texas offense and organizing it into an Excel spreadsheet. The idea is to analyze the offensive performance of the Longhorns from 1999-2008 and look for interesting trends, patterns, etc. Primarily, my goal is to rethink my estimation of Greg Davis in light of his post-2004 performance. At this point, I honestly don't know if
