Moderators CJ Vogel Posted 1 hour ago Moderators Posted 1 hour ago Key to the game? Converting 1st and 2nd downs into positive gains to set up third and short is the biggest point of emphasis in my eyes going into this weekend's contest against Oklahoma. A look at every 3rd down Texas faced against OU in 2025: 3rd & 23 3rd & 12 3rd & 30 3rd & 10 ... converted 3rd & 1 ... converted 3rd & 3 (goal line) 3rd & 1 ... converted 3rd & 8 ...converted 3rd & 8 ... converted (touchdown) 3rd & 7 ... converted 3rd & 7 ... converted 3rd & 2 ... converted 3rd & 19 3rd & 7 3rd & 2 ... converted 3rd & 12 Pretty easy trend to decipher here. 0–3 on 3rd & 15+ 1–6 on 3rd & 10+ 5–11 on 3rd & 7+ 4–5 conversion rate on 3rd & 5 or less Texas has not been great in these exact situations. Against Tennessee, the Longhorns average distance to go on 3rd downs was 9.0. On 3rd and short, Texas was 2–2. On 3rd & long (9+), the Longhorns were 0–4. Oklahoma has a superb front seven with the interior defensive line leading the way. The edge rushers of Taylor Wein and PJ Adebawore being two incredibly toolsy edge rushers as well. Not allowing that group to pin their ears back and rush the passer will be key in my eyes. 8 Quote

syracusehorn Posted 34 minutes ago Posted 34 minutes ago Good observation, @CJ Vogel. This team seems to make the simple things difficult. On paper this one should be a runaway, but those are the ones that seem to become problems in this series. 1 Quote
