Houston's defense ranks #113. The Texas offense's ability to move the ball and finish in the redzone should mostly only be limited to whether or not it shoots itself in the foot. Play a clean game offensively and this should be elementary. 

BYU's offense is bad, and barring a turnover disaster type of game, they shouldn't be able to score enough points to beat Texas at home. A typical game here should be something like 34-10 Texas. 

Will Howard's running ability has been limited for most of the season, and since he's not a great passer, it's really limited their offense. This weekend KSU replaced Howard with a backup true freshman early in the game, and the offense took off. I'm happy that KSU will put two more weeks of tape of that guy on film before we play them

TCU suddenly looked more dangerous this weekend after Max Duggan Josh Hoover replaced Chandler Morris, and threw for 439 yards against a decent BYU defense. He did throw two INTs. They limited BYU to 3.7 yards per play. A very impressive win, we'll see if that was a high water mark or if they're turning into a dangerous team. This will be a road game. 

Iowa State is now 3-1 in conference (wins against OK St, TCU, Cincy) despite losing a bunch of players to the sports gambling crack down. Their loss was a 30 pointer that was much closer for most of the game, before OU piled on at the end. They've had a surprisingly solidly efficient offense, seemingly due to their QB Rocco Becht, who's a gamer type. This will be a second road game in two weeks, in Iowa in November. 

Tech had to play their third string QB after halftime, a true freshman, and he was ineffective. It'll be interesting to see how serious the Morton injury is.

Lol at the anyone who thinks we are scoring 50. This team only got 2 TDs on offense last week

 

Texas wins by 17. 42-25, Texas

[JBJ 3649]

So there's no way we score 50 but you are predicting a 6 TD performance?

Yes, because context around a game certainly doesn't change and the quality of defense Texas faced in their last game must be the same quality of defense they face this week.

And of course Texas had no shot of beating Kansas State last year because Kansas State beat Oklahoma State 48-0 and Texas lost to Oklahoma State. That is how football works.

[Red Five 40661]

It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! and hilarious that anyone could possibly believe that we even have the tiniest chance of scoring 50.

We will score 42.

It's fuckin Greenspoint. 90% of the board ignores him for a fucking reason.

Upper 80's at kickoff.  Keep cougar high defense on the field during most of the 1st half to wear them out in the heat.  

Hopefully Texas gets to play a lot of guys to continue developing our depth for rest of the season.  🤘

[Enemy07 281]

We will smash them- like the high school girl that gave you a hand job in high school and did not put out- but then she became a college girl that likes to party and you had to rekindle the flame.

It’s her fault for getting married during football season. Fuck around and find out. 

I got married on the day Charlie Strong lost to Kansas.  During the reception, the husband of one of my cousins walked up and said we had lost to Kansas.  I laughed and said at least Charlie Strong is getting fired now.  So it's not always bad.

You are going to love having a game against Georgia or Bama ruined one year b/c it's your anniversary.

My wife is also a Texas grad and likes football, so if I said I'm cooking a brisket and we're gonna drink beer all day, she would be perfectly happy.

I was in San Francisco vacationing with my family and followed the score on my phone.  The stunned reaction of "You gotta be fucking kidding me, we lost to Kansas" was quickly followed by "Welp, looks like we're getting Tom Herman."

The only time I have ever rooted for a loss.  Needed that to guarantee that idiot's dismissal.  Also gave us cover where we didn't take any media bullshit for firing him.

Do you remember the Charlie Strong years?  There was no reason to plan my life around Texas football.

Imagine even wanting to watch Charlie Strong Texas Football play mid 2010s Kansas. Sicko shit.

We have hidden B12 schedule fuckery as expected.    Our final two road games are back to back.   The week before we play TCU, they have a Thursday night slot giving them a couple extra days rest plus the non travel day. The week before we play Iowa St, they have a bye week.   So a full extra week off plus non travel day.   I think we win one of ‘‘em and maybe two if we get the injured guys back and no other significant losses.

lol, I was at a wedding that day too. The groom was a Sooner and got a good laugh out of it.

Pretty sure he’s parroting the quote Aranda made prior to th Baylor game. We’ll probably hear it again from someone else before the regular season is done.
