Texas Tech Postmortem: Defense

The Texas Longhorn defense surrendered 16 points in the 1st quarter against Texas Tech (could've been 17, if not for Poona's paw) as the Red Raiders employed muscle memory blitz beaters and easy pitch-and-catch to whip our normal defensive looks.

Even though KSU uncharacteristically derailed their own Wildcat ball with three second half turnovers. They scouted us well and it showed on key downs. Texas won 1st and 2nd more often than not. The Wildcats won 3rd and 4th down. That was the difference in the game. That written, I didn't expect Texas to help KSU execute their game plan.
