The Six Pack did not get off to the 6-0 start we were looking for last week, but it’s alright. We took our lumps in the first week of the season, going 2-4, but the lessons we learned were far more valuable than any dollar amount.

The defense was as advertised, and as long as that remains the case, this team has a chance against anybody.
And as impressive as the Longhorns looked against Colorado State, they struggled to run the ball. Considering their injuries at the position, it’s not a shock. Can they improve…
