Texas changes offensive playcaller a week and a half before Cal

Former play-caller Shawn Watson has been replaced by wide receiver coach Jay Norvell, as the fallout continues from Texas's rough start to the season.

This all feels like a trap, doesn't it? Seems like the best time to face an opponent is when they're making in-season coaching changes in a desperate attempt to fix a glaring issue.

Last year, Texas struggled on offense, to the tune of just 21 points/game (109th in the country) and 4.9 yards/play (110th). Then the Longhorn scored just 3 points against Notre Dame, while averaging just 3.1 yards/play. The Texas offense appears to be flat lining, and Charlie Strong figures that an electric shock couldn't make things worse.
