Texas runs a high school offense. Nothing complex or sophisticated about it. It works because Young is a superior athlete and Texas more times than not has better athletes across the board than their opponent. Texas lines up across from you and battles it out. Texas doesn't try and out scheme you.
Thanks to Young improving himself, Texas has a passing and rushing threat. That is why they are #1 or #2 best offense in the country. Young plays a large role. That is why it is smart to try and stop young, and Texas O isn't as potent. Everything goes through him.
Hey, what Texas is doing WORKS! Not saying or implying it doesn't. It got them in the RB and chance at BCS NC.
Now is it working because they faced inferior competition? We will find out on Jan. 4th. USC will not be inferior competition and USC will be well coached with a gameplan. USC also will not be intimidated. If Texas succeeds, job well done. Offense works! Hope you can get QB like Young every year to make it work. (it hasn't before)
USC runs a complex sophisticated offensive attack. On top of that, is
very physical on ground with OL and White. Basically USC does everything well with great athletes AND trying to out scheme you. You go to high school games you see HIGH SCHOOL OFFENSES running the same thing as Texas. No high school runs the same offense as USC. A freshman QB can run Texas offense with much more success than USC's offense. USC has had tremendous success with 2 QB's in this offense. Next year we will see if it is 3.
All in all, it is different philosophies. Both USC and Texas got the same results this year in putting up pts in a hurry. Lets see which offense has more success on Jan. 4th.
