Aggressive Play Calling

The offensive strategy saw mixed results in terms of execution against a stout Longhorn defense. The rushing attack was spearheaded by Marcel Reed himself who gained sixty yards on fourteen carries showcasing his dual-threat capabilities despite not finding his way into the end zone.
