Inside UT’s 19-play scoring drive
Trailing 20-7 with over 14 minutes left in the third, Texas needed to take advantage of the stop its defense provided to begin the second half.
Scipio Tex: LSU Postmortem – defense
The final butcher's bill was long and bloody. I'll hit a few lowlights beyond 45 points surrendered at home before a raucous Texas crowd. The larger context of that is important.
5 Quick Thoughts: Texas loses a spread shootout to LSU
Texas gave that game to LSU. There's no question that LSU played outstanding football, clearly hiring assistant offensive coach Joe Brady was a great decision and he was able to join forces with Joe Burrow and Steven Ensminger to build a phenomenal spread passing attack.

Fridays in the Humidor – TEAM (9/6/19)

Inside the Gameplan: Setting a Tiger trap
LSU’s visit to Austin will probably go down as the biggest national game that Texas has played under Tom Herman to date, aside from the 2018 battles with Oklahoma.

Inside the Gameplan: The pre-conference slate
The non-conference slate is much easier than previous seasons, at least there isn’t a bizarre game against a unique and talented Maryland squad before injuries sap their roster but instead the LSU home game sandwiched between bouts with Louisiana Tech and “at Rice” in NRG which will likely hold mostly Texas fans. There’s all the potential in the world here for Texas to win the Big 12 championship and make the playoffs under one of the following three scenarios.
