Not really. Other teams could bring in an extra TE or switch to a formation with a fullback to get more blockers to try to force the other team to bring safeties down... which might open up downfield passing opportunities.
While that scenario will make any offense struggle more than they would otherwise, it doesn't always cause the offense to just become ineffective. It just makes them less effective and forces them to make adjustments.
With UT, there doesn't seem to be an adjustment to make.

Maybe this is where his offense departs from Briles and I’ll admit I’ve spent far more time watching Briles’ offense than Heupel’s but the adjustment you note is exactly what Briles would have done. Put in his 300lb “TE/FB” and power run for days.
