Texas Is Going to be Good

[dawg80]

We’ll be running a new defense with a new DC, and have the same offense and OC. What’s not to love ?
If we keep the spread less than 21 I’ll be surprised.

Surprised? I'll be shocked! And quite pleased.

We will make it close and cover - like we always do in the first P5 game of the year...

Ya mean like we did in Raleigh?

There is always one outlier...

I guess I said like we usually do instead of always

You mean "Like I SHOULD have said.. "

Did we cover in Norman in 14?

11 of Texas’ games in 2018 resulted in one score decisions. The average margin of victory was about 6.5 points, and the largest margin of victory was 23. This included 7 point victories over Tulsa, Baylor and KU, and a two point win over KSU.

UT is likely another great recruiting class and two years of development from being the rolling ball of butcher knives some seem to invision. They have also lost both season openers under Tom Herman in embarrassing fashion, and Herman tends to turtle his offense when he gets up by 3-4 scores making for close finishes.

All that to say that I’m pretty sure Texas will win, but a 30+ point beating is probably not in the offing short of some special teams or defensive scores.

I have literally never seen this every game for the last 5 years, so it will be very interesting to observe!

Unless there is a super good QB hiding in our roster and Skip actually cares about P5 games in the regular season...there is no reason to get excited about this game.
