Here's what I think on that subject (opening up the playbook) Washington State in 2002 and Northwestern in 2004 show what I think JT is going to do against Texas. I think he's gonna still hold some stuff back (for the record, I draw a strong distinction between holding things back and refusing to pass the football or spread the offense.) Washington State was a big game, and it showed that JT was not afraid to hold the reins tightly in a huge early game. Granted, it helped tremendously to have Clarett rushing for 200+ in that game, but still, they were down at the half, and JT still didn't throw all his cards on the table to win that game.
The Northwestern game though, seems to show that when his back's up against the wall early in the season, he's willing to take some substantial risks. After they went down 14, the playcalling opened up a great deal, and the offense improved as a consequence. Hopefully, we don't find ourselves in that situation against Texas.
