His spirals weren't always crisp. And his timing with the receivers wasn't always there.

That's to be expected. Tony Romo hadn't taken a snap, thrown a pass or faced a rush in eight weeks.

But his game management remained as sharp as it was last December.

Romo still knows what he has to do as a quarterback to win a football game.

In college the high-powered offenses of the Big 12 prefer a fast pace, trying to squeeze as many plays into a 60-minute game as possible. Baylor, TCU and Texas Tech rank 1-2-3 in the NCAA in total offense and all average more than 80 plays per game. Baylor snapped the ball 104 times in last weekend's 45-35 victory over Oklahoma State.
