[TexasMan 10786]

Over/under 55.5

 

 

[JOSEYWALES66 1790]

OU only favored by 16 ? That seems low

[Revolution512 1480]

Aggies -5? Hmmm

To be fair, Miami has played no one, so hard to gauge how good or bad they might be. 

[Revolution512 1480]

Are they better or worse than the teams the Aggies played the first two weeks? Because they couldn’t run the ball against either of the first two

Well Miami had QB pressures on 23/27 pass attempts from Southern Miss.  I'm betting they mangle to the aggy OL.  Last time Kevin Steele rolled into BCS as a DC for a team he shut them down.

[Skipper 6103]

Hard to know what to think about that line given all the injury uncertainty.

Also, Miami did that without Mesidor who is their best defensive lineman and should be back against aggy. 

 

[TexArcher 37518]

Holy shit, Miami getting points against a team that's gonna go 3-9?  Yes, please.

[ClubWhatever 12087]

Lots of uncertainty here.  Will be a new QB for AnM.  Miami smells overrated.  

[Rickylovesweed 14155]

Miami probably is overrated but they're also better than App State. 

I don't think this is the game to break in a new QB that had such a high sack rate at LSU. Miami generated 23 pressures in 27 passing attempts against Southern Miss without their best defensive lineman. 

I kind of hope they do start Max Johnson and he's sacked all night. That will really deflate their confidence knowing that neither QB are viable options.

ESPN has the line at 10.5

Yea the line went down to 11 after Sark's presser. That's still a lot of faith in Charles Wright.

I'm just glad Utsa is coming off of a physical game vs Army.  Hope Texas jumps out on the Roadrunners with a couple early scores.

A lot of fight in Utsa -- they were down vs Army 28-14 on the road and came back to win.

It's going to be a tough game with no QB unless Wright ends up being right

[thrillhammer 683]

we may have no bijan either.  not going to be an easy game.

[TexasMan 10786]

Still going up and every day. Now -12.5. O/U is up to 61.5 too.

I'm ready for this to be a tough one, don't care about optics. Just win. 

[TexasMan 10786]

Over/under is down 3.5 points to 58 now, but the 12.5 line stays.

Adequate size for the QB position, especially in today's game. Good production against Texas 6A competition. Flashes impressive accuracy and touch on deep throws outside the numbers, as well as red-zone throws to the end zone. Shows a knack for making off-schedule plays. Varies arm angle pretty well when needed. Not a home run hitter as a runner, but athletic enough to extend plays and hit the occasional designed run. Fairly smooth, consistent release. Can tighten delivery and quicken release a bit. Often throws with upper body alone and can more consistently uses his legs to help velocity and throw power. Projects to the Power Five level in a very deep 2021 QB class in Texas.

 

 

Let's just see.

[Lhorn 4885]

Gives me hope that he’s got a good chance of managing the game and not being a liability.  Make a few throws and let Rochon and Robinson eat. 
 

As far as keys to the game feels like secondary to Wright’s performance is the Texas D line exploiting SAs OL weaknesses.
