If you don't mind me asking, what has been the turnaround from earlier in year?

Getting use to the 6-2 offense. Texas had been a 6-1 offense. New middle blockers getting experience, better passing and service return

I feel they are settling on rotations and have found their rhythm. Loosing Asjia O’Neil was tuff and it has taken time for the new middles to adjust. They had 14 blocks against Kentucky so I think they are coming on. 
Rutherford was also slow getting going but she seems to be playing better (transfer from Kentucky). She replaces Molly Phillips who was a solid contributor for multiple years.

They are also running a 6-2, which Texas hasn’t done in years.

I agree with GoHorns1, but I would add the fact our hitters and Carlson were not in sync in the first few matches.  The timing just wasn't there.

Getting in sync takes time. It took Texas some time to get sync last year with our freshman.

I know, and I said as much last month when people were freaking out about starting the season 3-3.

I remember that. It takes time to get all the players in sync each year because of new players or setters.

I haven't watched this match yet but the previous against Florida, I liked Carlson with Kahahawai and Singletary. The 6-2 isn't just bringing in another setter, our front line stays fresh. I could be guessing on this, when Swindle and Carlson are on the bench, it might be easier for them to determine how the other team is defending and then change the way they're setting their hitters.  Whatever they're doing is working.
