That opening kickoff drive was a thing of beauty.
Good balance between run and pass, safe passes for Malik, converted a couple of 3rd and 4th downs. The bench (coaching staff) was getting the play call in on time, Zaire had them over the ball with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock. And the 7:56 minute drive ended with a touchdown.
As we all know, we'll have the ball first against Texas regardless if we win or lose the coin toss. Strong wants to play defense first so he defers, Kelly wants to play offense first so if we win the toss, we take the ball.
Either way, I really hope we come out with this type of attitude next Saturday.
