I know the 38-3 score was mentioned briefly in another thread, but given that we play Texas in 2 weeks I thought this worth it's own thread.
A few things to highlight about how Texas performed today:
Offense only had 163 total yards (compared to 527 for ND)
Offense had only 8 first downs and 60 yards rushing (average of 2.1 ypc)
ND had a time of possession advantage of 39 minutes to 21 minutes
It wasn't like Texas had unfortunate turnovers that were converted to points. Neither team had any turnovers...it was just Texas not having a good enough defense to stop ND, and Texas not having a good enough offense to get first downs
QB Swoopes was only 7/22 for only 93 yards
No Texas rusher was over 40 yards
Texas got off to a slow start...in the 1Q they had 6 offensive possessions (5 punts) and 3 of those possessions were 3 and out
This is just week 1, but this feels like part of a bigger trend for their team (carrying over the final Texas games of 2014). Hope this is an early indicator that we'll start 3-0 entering conference play!
