Here's a perspective I put on another thread, but belongs here... so abbreviated to just the opening lines over there....
Regardless of what has happened and been witnessed ... the team is having to evolve in tough circumstances, and surely must be trying the patience and fortitude of Strong and all the coaches and players.
AP Poll out 4-Oct
http://espn.go.com/college-football...ogs-baylor-bears-pass-michigan-state-spartans
Two weeks ago Texas lost chance for OT with comeback 4th quarter,
against current AP #23 Cal (5-0)
Week ago gave up a game-tying FG late, then muffed a punt to allow a late FG
cost a game against present AP #21 Ok-State (5-0)
Saturday got shell-shocked and bombed into submission by
now AP #2 TCU (5-0)
This coming Saturday will face current AP #10 Oklahoma (4-0)
Current AP #14 Notre Dame (Texas' opening season road loss) just lost to new AP #6 Clemson, so the four teams Texas has lost to are all ranked, with a combined record of 19-1, that loss to a Top 10 team.
Charlie's second season picked one helluva schedule to still be figuring things out in his second season following 6-7 year. And playing a couple dozen freshmen, many starting.
Still to play, present AP #3 Baylor (4-0, and I think national leader in offense)
And no-slouch unranked Texas Tech... lost on tipped ball to TCU.
"that which does not kill me makes me strong" --- The possibility of that, is not ruled out.
