Rushing direction for Texas.

Arizona State had –

• 135 more yards than Texas

... and lost.

The 4th quarter was the only quarter on Wednesday where Texas outgained Arizona State.

Texas did so 179-167, yet were outscored 16–7.

 

D was gassed at the end but still came up with a stop

Those stats look bad for Texas.

One of the most important stats that is often overlooked that generally tells you the story of the game.

What's up with Alex January not getting into the game? With 90 snaps, I thought we'd see more of a guy we really, really need next year.

We needed to rely on experience

On key downs, sure. But there were 90 snaps and Texas was firmly in control for the first 3 quarters. You'd think he'd get at least a few snaps.

Woaaaaaah, Ryan Wingo with WR2 snaps, that's impressive from the freshman!

People crapped on Hunter getting the Heisman because of snap count, but I just looked it up and he averaged 113 per game. As gassed as our entire D looked, no one was within 10 snaps of that. Not sure if it’s Heisman worthy but damn impressive.

Damn!! That feels like our stat lines from a few years ago with David Ash, save the offensive production lol.

Wondering same thing. Especially in this game where defense played over 100 snaps. Not just the experience, but we were definitely getting worn out.
