In addition to the defense getting better, you'd have to think that our opponent has just about run out of offensive "wrinkles" to throw at us. It seemed like every game where we had to come from behind in the second half, Dykes would always chalk it up to whoever we were playing starting out the game with some unanticipated offensive scheme, that hadn't shown up in any of the game films. It was these new wrinkles that had TCU initially off guard and "back on their heels", until adjustments could be made at half-time.
But going by the Texas and Iowa State games, it looks like they are running out of new things to try. The announcers specifically mentioned in the Iowa State game that Bradford's first Pick 6 was due to the fact that the TCU secondary had made adjustments already and were keeping an eye out for those mis-direction plays that Baylor had utilized to great effect the week before. After 7 or 8 weeks of getting hit with all the new, unanticipated stuff, and having already received Kansas State's best shot, it may be that Kansas State's bag of tricks is empty! Hopefully, we won't have to dig ourselves out of another first half, three touchdown hole this time. I mean, there's only so many "wrinkles" that will work!
