I think it was mostly due to the defense losing confidence at various times. I'm not talking about the last drive against UT, they played inspired on that drive. But there have been way too many times when they see the offense sputter, and their tackling and pursuit and aggressiveness all began to crumble. I can't explain it, perhaps it was due to the media hype before UF and the return to reality after that. But it's definitely something intangible, because we saw them make the plays against one team that they missed terribly against others.
Anyway, I think that the Texas effort has restored some much needed pride back into this defense, and the depth and talent on DL is going to propel this team to another level next season.
