TX is a run first team, and use a pro style offense. Running for first downs will eat up the clock. Secondly, WVU's defense vs a Baylor style offense will always look bad, as Baylor utilizes a no huddle/pass oriented attack. That approach was actually used by both teams, and the clock moved @ a slow pace allowing more plasys possessions. Lastly, Baylors apporach to defense is non existent. Tahts is th opposite of TX, as you will see a competent pass rush, and man to man defense.
In conclusion the run oriented offense, and viable defense @ TX's dispense should slow the game down enough for a good under play. I expect this total to be bumped up b/c last weks performances of both teams, which only helps us.
