Well, we are better than the 93-68 days but still have a way to go.

As aggressive, and better, as ACU has gotten on defense, we still haven't played to a level that we should. It's no wonder we haven't sent a team any further into the playoffs. I know there is an issue with the way that Texas teams tend to scheme in general, and it's always skewed towards offense. When you look at defensive stats though, the UAC is clearly behind. Is this one stat the only stat? No, but I also know it's not the only stat where the UAC would fall behind.

Mike Leach still haunts Texas Football from the other side.

Those malicious beatings Tech gave Nebraska a once proud football dynasty caused Texas HS Football to change forever.

Defense has finally started gaining traction again but it won’t happen overnight. Need some more Buddy Ryan’s without the Buddy Ryan baggage.
