gives you an example of what happens to many QBs when their team can't reliably run the ball. Darnold looks all-world when USC can run the ball but Texas has the athleticism to stop USC's run game without completely selling out vs. it. It has basically made Darnold look like Speight.

Of course, Texas has much better athletes than Air Force or Cincinnati..

I enjoy Joel Klatt as an analyst, and yes Texas is playing better defense than they did against Maryland.  But that play didn't have much to do with great defense.  That was a gift

Am I the only one that finds this KSU-Vandy intruiging? Not the game itself, these teams look just awful. But I feel like this is an out of conference game out of no where that is close late at least. Cal-Ole Miss tonight is another one like that.

always impresses me. They always got players at the glamor positions you'd kill to see in maize and blue. Yet somehow they've managed to underachieve for several years now.
