Bombilla is correct. The Horns needed what they needed and nothing more.

With two more tough games – not that they are necessarily up to the four powerhouses, but a travel game and the ags coming to town, that is sufficient – it is imperative the Horns remain as strong as they can. When running up the score is a function of the general health of the team, your wisest decision is to opt for the health. Plus, the Horns could get some film on younger players to push the coaching edge in case those guys have to play. I’m sure Wells’ mistake will get a lot of attention.

Colt may have stayed in a little longer than necessary, but being close to the 300-yard passing mark was probably a consideration. It would have probably been with the RBs if one was close to 100 or 200 yards. I’m sure they understand that such padding is also a gamble.

Baylor really didn’t let up but they had no reason, too. They were about scoring and didn’t care if Texas ran it up even more. Briles can now say he got 21 and can tell recruits they could add to that total: Baylor wanted the leverage for their future and would have given up 70 to get 35. Briles is a wily character and completely hardcore.

Saturday forecast for Kansas looks clear and mostly sunny, but it will be cold, relative to here. Those lingering injuries won’t loosen up and stay loose near as well if it is colder. Long range forecast: 46 degrees, wind chill around 37, possibly breezy (North wind 15, gusts to 25), even a 20% chance of showers. Football weather for sure, but not the best for passing games.

with Mack, he has a philosophy. And it clearly isn’t Jugular John (as we used to say about John Jenkins and his UH run-and-shoot bunch piling up scores like 95-21). Coach Brown believes in allowing the opponent a chance at some respect; when UT’s subs hit the field, the passing game goes virtually in mothballs and the defensive exotics are shelved.

Didn’t say I agree with this; I see Mack’s point, I also see the benefit of OU’s 60-point games and how that may trump Texas’ 45-21 and 38-14 wins over Baylor and Colorado — teams the Horns clearly could have dumped more points on.

cody johnson doesn’t hold while blocking and we’d have 52pts on like a 30 yd john chiles TD run..

style points are dominating a team, not necessarily scoring 70-3, but completely shutting down their offense, moving the ball at will, and not having drives stifled.

we did not do that against baylor. baylor should not be throwing on our secondary as easily as they did in the first half, they should not have tied the game 14-14.

for less than 80 yards or something ridiculous in that game. The secondary was not the problem. I’m surprised that nobody else seemed to think that Baylor would score some points against us. In checking the post game write-ups and watching the Bears a time or two prior to their clash with our beloved Longhorns, I felt that they would put up some points. Griffin is a talented young QB. He will be very Pat White-ish over the next couple of years.

Anyway, I was disappointed that our offense did not take it to the Baylor D on every single possession. Dominating an opponent for style points helps but, when voters across the country can’t watch the game, a very lopsided scoreboard in the end could mean even more. Respectfully distance yourself as much as possible. Apologize to the coach during the post game hand-shake, and walk away giving him a wink with a big ’ol dollar sign twinkle in your eye so he is aware his program will benefit from you taking those massive BCS payouts once the human voters give you those much deserved “style points.”
