The game was never remotely in doubt and the gents are very impressed by the Longhorn defense, pleased with special teams and less than delighted with the Texas offense.

Paul and Ian talk about the Texas wide receiver and tight end room. Has a once talent thin position become a team strength? Where do the Horns rank amongst the national elite?

The guys dig in on matchups, complementary skill sets, target share as well as discuss...
