DJ Lagway had the 4th shortest time to throw rate in the country for week six quarterbacks.

The average time from snap to release of the football took just 2.32 seconds.

As a result, the Texas pass rush was able to generate a season low six pressures on the quarterback. Four of which coming from Colin Simmons. The Longhorns did not sack the quarterback for the second time this season, both of which occurring in losses.

Lagway was 15-16 on passes under ten yards downfield for 109 yards and most importantly, zero passes were put in harms way.

I guess my biggest question to this is, after two weeks of game planning for a team that was the very worst in the country in attempting and completing deep shots, what did you expect was going to happen in this game?

If can’t stop the run, game planning is simplified.

Run ball, run ball more

get 8+ in the box

throw ball

game plan complete

Run the ball, stop the run…let’s go CJ 😂

Yes, but again, it wasn't like Lagway was threading needles down the field. Those 8 in the box is exactly where the majority of Lagway's passes ended up.

He wasn’t at all…in fact and quite a few times they ran 2 man routes and we still lost.  He hit guys that were wide open on crossers ala 2022, or Dallas beating our guys.

Didn’t help that we didn’t generate any pressure, at all.  I’ve said in other places, this is what happens when we play HS teams for a month.  Not ready to play, not ready for the environment, not ready for the size and speed of the game, not ready to match physicality, and not ready for a program that doesn’t give a tihs about our “brand”.
