I just think we built the team wrong.   For years we have tried to build a ground and pound team in the dome.  Run heavy short passing and defense game plans.   This can be very exciting way to play if you are winning and winning on a regular basis see LSU as an example.    Problem is we haven't been able to build a team that can win year in and year out.    And those ground and pound defensive teams usually work better in the outdoors.  So in my mind it is completely opposite of what type of team should be in the dome.

We should have built a team like Baylor, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Arizona State.  Run and Shoot teams and gambling on defense.   At least if we are losing it would be an exciting product for fans to watch and support.  I know at the end of the day we need wins but I think we went about it the wrong way.    I think an big time offense would keep the fans in the seats if we are winning or losing.    Watching games in the 40's is more entertaining that watching us struggle to score 20 points week in and week out.
