UT Stats and Lazy Cat

My favorite UT Football related website: burnt orange nation dot com, interviewed some guy I've never heard of before (but that i should probably recognize), and he provided some very impressive statistics for UT's rush defense.  I echo the one word the writer had for them... "WOW" {my comments within the brackets}

...(Dave Matter) provides some of the best statistics about the Texas running defense I've seen around the internet:

- The Horns have given up just two runs of 20 yards or more. 

- Opponents are picking up just 2.5 yards on first down, just 1.3 on second down. 

- On 22 tries, opponents have picked up the first down just three times. {I assume he means on 3rd and short or 4th down running plays} 

- Opponents have gained just 2 yards on 18 carries inside the 20. 

- Of the 215 rushing yards gained against Texas, 147 have come when UT leads by more than two touchdowns -- almost 70 percent. {is this really true?!? In 6 games, opponents have only gained 215 yards?!?!} 

- When opponents are within two touchdowns of the Horns, they've run 101 times for 68 yards. Not a misprint.

In the world of tapering for my "race" next weekend, Taper day #2 is starting out (and ended) terrible on the running front.  I really wanted to go jump in and enjoy the greenbelt for an hour or so with Karma, but I didn't.  I wanted to, but didn't. I should have, but didn't. Why?   Because I didn't firm up the plan in my head before I went to bed. I've realized that's my kryptonite. I. Have. To. Have. A. Plan. In. Place. 

  Oh well. Guess I'll just feel that much better for my longer run tomorrow.  Still don't have a plan, so if you're interested, let me know.  At this time I'm thinking easy pace all the way, 3 or 4 hours, that I'll gladly chop up to suit anyone interested. (Don't want to start before 6am though)
