Texas offensive coordinator Tim Beck suggested this week that Saturday's Big 12 opener with TCU should carry an R rating.
He didn't specify if that was for violence, language or adult content. From Texas' standpoint, the last four games with the Horned Frogs have been all of those things, with four losses by a combined margin of 153-33. Texas hasn't scored more than 10 points in any of the four meetings.
If Texas really is back - or least capable of playing meaningful Big 12 games in November - Saturday's game in Austin should be a far better barometer than the win over USC.
