Texas is 4-0 and the room is already pricing in a long season built on two good drives a game.

The emotional rollercoaster

Texas fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.

What happened

Texas won 20-17 at Tennessee, moved to 4-0, and somehow felt worse about it than last week. The turning point came when the offense finally found a second functional drive, which was apparently the weekly allotment. Fans watched a top-ten team survive Neyland and came away cataloging the empty possessions instead. One called it "SOMEHOW THAT WAS A HARDER WATCH THAN THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO." Another did the math: "It's going to be a long season if our offense can only muster 2 good drives per game." Undefeated, and miserable about it.
