It absolutely kills me watching Texas play. I know their OL is young and inexperienced, but they did a very good job yesterday of both run and pass blocking. The defense played out of its mind for most of the game. However, the QB play was the #1 factor in the Horns demise. Swoopes has an absolute cannon of an arm, few are stronger. However, he has no touch or finesse to his passing game. He does not have the ability to put it on the receiver in stride. The ball is either very high, very low, or behind the receiver. He gives his receivers almost zero chance for YAC. Also, when he runs the ball, he runs like he is wearing cement shoes. He is a clodder, not a thoroughbred. But, I will say this, one thing that helps him is the hurry up offense, which Texas refused to use yesterday, because they wanted to keep the Baylor offense off the field, understandably.
With all the upsets that occurred yesterday, if Texas could have had a QB who could hit an open WR with consistency, Texas pulls the upset. The Baylor D was good, but not as good as the announcers said. They were aided a whole heck of a lot by the horribly, bad play of Swoopes.
