texas is going to have problems covering the number this week (i guarantee it)
how do you see the game going? 48-42?
31-28?
texas offense has been very good this year and seems to be getting more confident. VY has been great thusfar. if you dare him to throw, he beats you. if you let him run, he beats you.
with Jamaal Charles getting most of the carries, the running game has been excellent. Selvin Young fumbles way too much
the Texas WR/TEs are getting better each week. Thomas, Pittman, Sweed, Taylor...all reliable targets for VY to throw to.
the Texas OL is one of the top in the nation.
the Texas kicking game is pretty decent with Pino doing the PK job.
the Texas defense has been excellent thusfar.
whatever Texas did defensively last year worked well as they crushed TT in Lubbock by 30. this is a different Texas squad with a different DC. but there's no reason they cant handle the TT offense.
TT has played one good team (NU) and 2 mediocre teams (KU and KState). Winning at NU was a solid victory, but I'm not sure how GOOD NU is seeing as how they struggled against IowaSt and Pitt at Lincoln. TT was quite lucky to get that W at Nebraska..if only the NU LB (or was it a DL?) falls down isntead of runs after the INT......
Texas OTOH has beaten 2 top 25 teams.
Texas has come off 2 big games and blew both teams out. It's likely they will have problems matching that intensity for a 3rd game in a row.
However, Texas has to know this is probably the last roadblock to winning the Big12 south. It's conceivable they could come out "flat", but I'm not sure that will be the case. They could have easily been "flat" vs CU after beating OU. Instead they played a helluva game.
I'm curious how you see this playing out though.
Does TT score score score on a top rated Texas defense? Does the Texas offense struggle at home against an OK defense (they've given up 22 pts per game against lesser offensive teams the last 3 games)?
gl!
