Weren't we expecting too much from the Texas offense vs OSU? 

Only one returning starter on Oline.

Only 3 of top recievers from last year.

New TE to replace Helm.

A RB returning from triple knee ligament damage.

A QB with the weight of the world (so to speak) with Only two starts (against far inferior teams) to his name.

And a playcaller who is inept inside the opponents 20 yard line.

We expected too much vs a traditional supreme program with consistent higher regarded D. And led by a brand new DC with deep NFL experience.

We'll improve a lot before Florida. 🤘

I agree with this sentiment. Yes, I think fan expectations were too high. The Arch Manning hype also played a part(Arch will be just fine BTW).

Texas scored 7 points. Whether they were high or not, they were higher than one single touchdown last Saturday. It was a failure of a game plan and it was a failure of execution.
