Texas played a solid game with few errors.

The pass rush completely disappeared in the second half, the coaches need to figure out why that happened and fix it.

And continuously going for it on 4th down, resulting in 3 turnovers on downs, when putting points on the board via field goal was a viable option for at least two of them and would have put you 3 scores up, is completely unacceptable for a coaching staff in its 4th year.  Sark has to learn to do better.  That's pure coaching arrogance and stupidity.  THREE turnovers on downs.  Just absolutely intolerable.

On the other hand, the rushing game was clicking and Ewers played a solid game with a 70% completion percentage, 1 TD, and an INT that wasn't his fault at all.  The offense finally showing out for the first time in the past 5 or 6 games was a welcome change.

He's terrifying.  Longhorn defense is good but that dude is going to get his yards.

Longhorn D will definitely be the toughest one ASU has seen all year, and we're still without our #1 WR so scoring points on y'all is definitely gonna be a challenge. I'm excited. 
I thought I settled my debts that night on the ride home
But I have still got hell to pay

for much of the 2nd half we only rushed 4 using a prevent defense. not sure why
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Yeah we definitely went prevent for some of it, but we also just got shut down.  That's a problem that needs to be addressed.  

The good news is Klubnik is the best QB we'll face in the playoff unless/until facing Oregon.  He really impressed me, that kid is a baller.

Texas wins with only 2 penalties for 10 yards

The refs were from the Big10 and will be calling The Texas vs Ariz St game as well
That was a good win--congrats!

Gets you to a meeting with Arizona State. Old Big 12 vs. New Big 12.

So far, the CFP games haven't been very close. I'd gladly go back to four teams. Or, better yet, two.

I think 12 is too many would rather see 8

the Horns have their work cut out for them against Ariz St

not sure what the health status is for us

The refs kept their flags in their pockets. They did it both ways, so I really can't (won't) complain. Colin Simmons was having to tow the LT towards the QB over and over. That's your "what happened to the pass rush".
Texas used the same leniency to send the ground game hurtling towards the end zone. I'm sure Clemson fans can point out several game breaking instances (I saw them myself) where holding was pivotal and obvious.
Cade Klubnik made himself some extra dollars by using the pass protection to drop absolute dimes onto his receivers. Clemson played out of their minds for like 20 game minutes there.
