Early on this season, Texas coach Mack Brown discussed the most important statistical factors to winning.
First, he said, was scoring offense. When a team scored a lot of points, it didn't typically lose. Which makes a lot of sense. When the Longhorns were winning at least 10 games a season from 1999 to 2009, they were averaging 39 points per game, the second-best mark in the country in that span, trailing fellow consistent winner Boise State.
In 2009, Texas went to the BCS National Championship game, thanks in part to a Big 12-leading scoring offense that put up 39.3 points per game. In 2010, Texas fell to 5-7, and out of the postseason, by averaging only 23.8 points per game. The Longhorns were even worse in conference play, scoring 19.2 points per game
