What makes you think your offense improved, you lost quality starters from the 05 team also. I'll accept it being as good as last years, but not better, if however your right, then you and tOSU have nothing to worry about.

If you can accept our defense being better....which it will be, then it should not be much of a strech at all to accept their offense getting better |

what made UT fans think your 05 offense was any better than your 04 offense? You could see the maturation of VY, which paid off in huge dividends. The same can be said for OSU, as troy was remarkably better later in the season. OSU lost two good lineman and a WR (a deep position at OSU)... I don't see how that is too much of a loss to improve on offense.

How about a solid starting QB from day one rather than an uncertain rotating system with no clear starter... you don't think that alone will make us vastly better on offense? Plus Smith's progression through last year was phenomenal, compare his performance in the Penn State game to the Michigan game and the Fiesta Bowl and tell me that his progression wasn't astronomical. Those two things alone make us better in my opinion, not to mention C. Wells in the rotation at RB to compliment our already established 1300 yard rusher Pittman.

My argument is not how good Troy Smith and the tOSU offense will be. I have already said I think tOSU wins this game in the 4th Qtr, Ijust don't think it's going to be as high scoring as some have predicted on this board, with scores in the low 30's, and some in the high 30's. If tOSU fans are wanting a blowout it will happen in 06, but not in Austin.

I can't see either Texas or Ohio State blowing the other out. I mean, maybe I don't know what a blow-out is... but if anyone is expecting something on the order of 42 - 7, they're not gonna get it - in all likelihood... Stranger things have happened, I guess.

I think the main consensus here is a few on this forum want us Texas fans to not be able to sleep at night from worrying about the tOSU offense, I can assure you I get a full 8 hours nightly. For every improvement in your offense, the Texas defense has done the same, (8 starters back, and 2 who had significant playing time. And a couple of soph and a certain Frosh, that being Sergio Kindle, whom Troy Smith better know where #2 is at all times.) Feel confident about your offense, but also be prepared for what might be a trainwreck.
