Texas 66

ULM 13

Bijan 180 total yards (139 rushing and 41 receiving).

[GTJ1982 378]

All I want is at least 5 sacks by the defense and less than 100 yards rushing for ULM.  

[Burntcowboy 1,845]

Bijan gets limited touches due to the weather. Don’t want him to get hurt

All the blowout predictions 

[satyanash 14,473]

Texas wins 42-24. Bijan has 90 rushing yards + 50 receiving, leaves relatively early with ULM scoring some against our backups late.

Assuming you're somewhere between sedated and in a coma. First, 32 seems a bit low to me. Second, not sure how we get to 32. Especially without a kicking game. Is that 5 TDs and 3 missed XPs?

I wasn't a math major, but I think that's like 8 or 9 of 'em.

If we can’t make extra points you can get to a lot of uncommon numbers.  If we decide to go for 2 it brings more numbers into play.  If we try to kick extra points, make one or two, miss one or two, and then decide to start going for 2, we could hit some really unusual point totals.  I’m all in for not punting, going for 2 every time, and accepting the results if our kickers truly suck.

[Foosters 17,830]

Can you drop kick a ball through the uprights for XPs? Feel like Flutie got an extra 15 mins out of that. Surely the guy from Australia can manage 

[Fondren & Main 6,700]

Prediction?

Mudhole.

FCB on Jahleel Billingsley

Texas is dealing with an NCAA issue involving Alabama transfer tight end Jahleel Billingsley stemming from his time in Tuscaloosa that could impact his availability for Saturday’s season opener, multiple sources told Horns247.

Texas appealed the ruling, and there's a chance Billingsley's suspension could be lifted or changed at some point, possibly even prior to Saturday’s opener against ULM, according to one source.

UT officials haven't responded to questions about the situation

But if Billingsley isn’t on the field on Saturday, you’ll know why.

[Enchubben 5,510]

I’m guessing that gets cleared up by Alabama officials September 11th or so. Fuckery is afoot

Our “compliance” department is such a joke.

Well that's... opaque. Too bad, since he's the one of the two Bama malcontents that actually seems to be working hard.

I'd be very disappointed if we give up 20. ULM is not good. Like objectively bad. Still, I'd buy it.

Well shit. Does the NCAA ever do 1-game suspensions?  I feel like these things are usually all-or-nothing, i.e. no penalty or done for the year.

[JBJ 3,654]

Collins was injured in camp right?  Hopefully this is precautionary and not a new injury.

[Sgt Hulk 13,713]

This is the game Bijan needs to go in raw and long dick. 300 plus yards. Because he’s gonna get about 40 against Bama his heisman chances need to be inflated against these practice squads

Rumor is: while stretching

[High Plains Drifter 11,028]

 

I think a lot of y'alls predictions regarding Bijan's running yardage are a little (or a lot) too high. If the game is put away early, he needs to sit to avoid chances of injury.

Regarding the talk of him needing to run up the yardage to increase his Heisman standings, I'd bet that if you ask him (or anybody on the team, including coaches), he cares more about staying healthy and winning games than winning the Heisman. Plus its too damn early to be worrying about the Heisman.

 

edit: I went back and found my prediction a few pages back. I picked 180 total for Bijan. I must have been drunk or high when I typed that because that is way too high.

Well it’s a stretch to see Collins ever living up to his potential.  The further this goes the more I see Sam Houston Bearcat in his future.  

[SA-KC_Horn 1,295]

125yds for Bijan after two carries and then sit him out. 

Does that seem fair?

Maybe one more carry to bring up his ypc average.

I have already flamed people for this. You don't sit players for fear of injury if they are completely healthy.
