For those complaining about the offense

Blame it on the early substitutions.

When you start rotating players that early, it takes away from the feel and rhythm the offense needs to establish. It also sends a message that this is more of a scrimmage than a game that demands urgency.

Honestly, I almost went 37–14 because I expected Texas to use this game to build depth and get the starters off the field early.

And there was a positive to it offensively: Arch got to play with at least seven different receivers, and at times he was doing it without his top three targets. That kind of experience could pay dividends later in the season.

But let’s be honest—the story of this game was the defense.

Despite all the substitutions, this defense continued to lock down the passing game. They kept rotating guys in and out and still maintained the same level of physicality and discipline.

Outside of Jeremiah Smith for about 2½ quarters, this defense has been a NO-FLY ZONE.

And that might be the biggest takeaway from this game.

Is Zina U a legit pass rusher opposite Simmons?    I was sporadic watching the game, but our front 4 were active from what I saw.  If that’s who they become, that is the single biggest takeaway from the game - good or bad.
