Nope...just like heifers are still allowed in DKR.

52 - 49 

Texas wins 

Tech will not score half that if Duffy is QB...

Posted

ESPN FPI has Tech as the favorite with a 60 percent win probability. While that has moved a bit more towards Tech in recent weeks, they were favored in that metric even when Texas peaked at 6-1. Curious about the other metrics - Vegas, S&P, etc. If OU was a two TD favorite I have to think Texas opens -3 or something. Both teams have obvious flaws that the other is well equipped to exploit, and Texas would find a way to play both a 3A high school team and Alabama close, so of course I expect a close one.

Tech's QB situation is obviously the big X factor going into this game. Burnt orange shades removed, I still like Texas. Both defenses look like swiss cheese at the moment, but I do see Texas being able to generally contain a pretty pedestrian Tech running game. If Bowman is healthy I doubt they will surprise us trying to run him like OSU did - too risky. Granted, I don't even know how much they will try to run given what Texas has put on tape in pass defense over the past two weeks, but I do think they'll end up operating pretty one dimensional, regardless of whether it is by choice or not. That lends itself to a pretty small margin of error - one sack, missed throw, dropped pass, batted ball, etc. can throw a drive off schedule. That should allow Texas to get a couple of stops, even if it ends up being Tech stopping itself. On the flip side, Texas should be able to score largely at will and Sam has taken excellent care of the ball. Texas by 7-10 sounds right to me.

i can't imagine that bowman is going to play.  a 2nd injury to a partially collapsed lung doesn't seem like something you should fuck around with.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing quarterbacks are hoped to be injured so that Texas can grab a cheap win, when in the olden days we'd get mad at anything but their best game. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred.

Texas defense allowed 500+ yards on each of last two games. TTU is 7th in the country in total offense, averaging 528. This is not going to be pretty.

Not without Bowman...

Healthy Bowman is Drew Breeze like.  Duffey is more like RGIII with a broken throwing hand.

And we still get the night game in Lubbock? Damnit. I thought for sure we were looking at an early kick after both teams lost yesterday.

Oh it will be horrifying. I expect another track meet like the last two weeks.

We would? I don't recall us being too sad that Bradford got hurt in 2009.

@Goo Punch says to bet on Tech right?

absolutely. i put two units on OSU +3 and i certainly don't regret it. I used to gamble quite a bit on sports, but i essentially never do any more aside form two scenarios: betting on tournaments well before they start where the odds are in the bettor's favor (I hit Germany in WC 2014 at 5/1, Frane in WC 2018 at 6/1, and Nova last April at 6/1), and this specific "favored road team" scenario. what both scenarios have in common is that the odds are unusually stacked in the bettor's favor. i'll gladly pay two or three units to see texas win, and should we lose then at least i can slam at pappadeaux for a night or baris for a week to quell my sorrows.

I liked this purely because of "i can slam at pappadeaux"

Have you seen our run defense? Especially our QB run defense?

Is our defense even aware they’re allowed to hit the qb?

What is this thing you speak of...we talking American football or what?

 

Hitting QB? Does not compute..

Crawfish Trio, bruh.

It's always on the menu ... even when it's not.

that's okay, it's just like the rest of their menu... When you pay 40% more than average for seafood, it just tastes better. Amirite?
