Blocked field goal aside, Texas could not ask for a better first half against the Bears, who ran only 32 plays and were outgained 190 yards to 130.
I'll go ahead and say it: that was the worst half of offensive football we've seen in a while, 2013 Oklahoma State included. For whatever reason, Briles and Montgomery are coaching, and Bryce Petty playing, scared. We aren't being nearly as aggressive, we're giving the ball up too easily, and we have no momentum offensively. That half was as dreadful as it gets. We're a fumbled snap at the 1 away from being tied, even though I honestly believe we scored on the other end of the field the previous drive.
Here are the stats:
