Smash Brothers the real power behind Texas' offense

AUSTIN, Texas -- One key lesson Texas true freshman quarterback Shane Buechele has figured out after his first three starts: Give the running backs the ball and get out of their way.

“They run so hard and it's so fun to watch just seeing them bounce off tackles and stiff-arming people, running over guys,” Buechele said. “It's been a lot of fun to watch.”

The undersized rookie is opening up the Longhorns’ passing attack, but he knows his oversized power backs D'Onta Foreman (6-foot-1, 249 pounds) and Chris Warren III (6-2, 252) must be the focal point of this offense.
