If the Texas Longhorns offense looks different throughout the first third of the season, that’s because it is.
It’s much better. Much more efficient.
That’s arguably most evident on third down, the money down, when you move the chains or move to the sidelines.
Across all of college football, only one team — Air Force — has enjoyed more success moving the chains on third down than Texas. Of the 58 third-down attempts throughout the first month of the season, the Horns converted 33, making for a success rate of 57 percent. That figure is made even more remarkable when considering where the Longhorns were at this point last year, converting a mere 37.
