Why do we play almost everyone close?

    Whether we are playing #1 or 81, we just can't dominate. If Bama walks in here, we probably play them within a TD. Maybe this team is lazy or can't focus?. Last years Kansas game was close also. But then we beat Georgia. Whatever it is Herman needs to change whatever he is doing. Because It makes it real crappy for us fans.

    Might as well ask, "Why does everyone take their best shot at Texas?" As long as Texas wins them, I really do not care. Kansas had two weeks to prepare with a new OC that literally wrote a book on RPO plays. Pooka is an all B12 RB and the QB made Hurts look very skill challenged. Miles of Kansas is the only current B12 HC who has won a NC.

    Considering how young and inexperienced the Texas DB are right now, Texas did very well to win. No reason to whine for not blowing out a very well prepared, well rested opponent with some stellar talent and effort.

    WorsterMan SEC here we come!!

    Good post and right on.

    I know Miles has improved KU, but when I woke this morning for a moment I asked myself if I dreamed the Horns struggled to beat KANSAS? No, reality was Horns had to scramble to win on FG with 4 ticks left.
