I think people feel hallow about it b/c it largely didn't prove anything but Mack will use this game to say, "see I told you so".

This is the same team that got destroyed by OU. The difference is we were playing Baylor who last I checked is now 0-3 in the Big 12.

Hollow is the way I would characterize the Baylor win. I'm certainly very happy for the players. They needed this win. But the victory tells me nothing about this team. It's easy to score points on the worst team in all of the FBS. And yes, Baylor has a talented offense but there is very little positive from the defensive effort, which resulted in 50 points. We looked silly on defense. Period.

I guess ones view of the victor is a function of their perspective on the coaching staff. If you've lost confidence in Mack then this victory serves to confirm the problems that were there last week are still very much present and real. If you are still open to a future with Mack then you can find the silver lining in this victory.

I tend to think this program is "on hold" until a true change is made. Before the season I thought that change was happening and that Mack had reinvented himself. After 7 games I have my answer and Mack needs to go. Shootout victories over a below average Baylor team are not the standard I judge Texas. Early October match ups at Fair Park in the Cotton Bowl should be our standard of measurement.
