One Good Offensive Wrinkle

in the first half SMU used Willis on the option that opened up Martin's running, caused TCU to check on misdirection and I believe had a lot to do with the longball to Sanders. That needs to be developed as a part of our attack. It looked to me that SMU was trying to cut Willis inside the DEs because of their quickness. Nice call. We got positive yardage in the first half on first and second downs making third down more manageable.

I think we picked up 5 yards on first down on five occasions in the first quarter. We were committed to the running game, and it was working. Then we went away from it.

In some cases, this had the look of UNT 2006 all over again.

is that not the exact same offensive scheme that franchione used in 97 and tries to use a variation of today? surprised patterson was not ready for that.
