In a large, tightly-bunched field, David Bergstrom emerged from the pack and won last week with eight correct answers. Mitchell Frink finished second with seven correct. D.R. Flower, Greg Swan, and Eric Vogl tied for third with six correct.

The questions proved more difficult than anticipated with an average score of five, that with 11 questions because there were two number fours.  In honor of the nineteen-seventies, when the college football regular season was extended from ten to 11 games, the staff at Willie Earl has decided to make 11 questions the new standard. There will be one number four and a number 11.

Bad News, Good News

The players performed poorly. The coaches coached poorly. Don’t think that because Texas scored 35 points that the offense played well. They didn’t.  In short, during the first half, the defense was a disaster, but the offense contributed to the defensive woes with three straight drives during the first and second quarter that totaled just eleven plays and 3:24 in time of possession.

Sam Ehlinger was the bright spot of the game. He played very well. Turns out, he’s a really good player and if he can stay healthy, Texas is in good shape for the next two-and-a-half years at the most important position on the team.

More to come Friday on where the Longhorns are after the disappointing Oklahoma State  performance heading into the make-or-break matchup with West Virginia this Saturday.
