In my last podcast with Crispin Brim, I said that the Texas Longhorns, at this stage in the game, are just a better version of what Kansas is. Now, I didn't out-rule Kansas being a Texas-level team. They were something Kansas could be, but something that Kansas just isn't yet. Sure enough on Saturday, the two teams played a very similar game from a schematic standpoint, Texas was just a better at it. Kansas trimmed the 14-0 Texas lead to 14-6 after closing out the first half with a field goal, and starting the second with another one, but a few critical mistakes down the stretch swelled the Texas lead a gave them the victory 35-13.
It wasn't all that novel of an idea. I doesn't take an expert to make the comparison between UT and KU: both teams have a bruiser in the backfield, a few quarterbacks that are decent to good at times, and pedestrian to horrific at others, and defenses that are both opportunistic and tough on the negative half of the field.
