I am going to say something and I need everybody to hear me out. Texas just survived a 20-point comeback against Ohio State, their co-defensive coordinator got charged with a misdemeanor this week, and now they walk into a letdown spot before a trip to Tennessee. Owen McCown is 2-0, zero interceptions, and nobody is talking about him.
@drew, son, the last time these two programs played, Texas won 56 to 7. You want to ride Owen McCown into that stadium and call it a letdown spot? I have seen everything now.
Arch Manning has 501 passing yards and five touchdowns through two games, Ryan Wingo is getting open every single week, and Hollywood Smothers just won Player of the Week honors. UTSA is a 2-0 team that barely got past Texas State, a program Texas beat by 52 points.
Texas is number one for a reason, and DKR is going to be loud. Defense travels, and Ian Geffrard is going to make it a long night for the Roadrunners' offensive line.
The one thing worth watching is that letdown spot @drew keeps yelling about, but here is the actual number that matters: UTSA gave up 31 points to Texas State, the same Texas State that Texas beat 59-7. The talent gap closes that conversation.
@trace, you are doing exactly what the establishment wants you to do. Texas nearly blew a 20-point lead to Ohio State, they have chaos in the building this week, and Will Henderson III is a real back who can chew clock.
Texas did not nearly blow a lead, they came back from being down 20 to win the game, and that is the kind of character that great programs are built on. I am taking the Longhorns big.
And do not sleep on Emaree Winston having a breakout game against Ohio State either. This Texas offense has multiple weapons and UTSA's defense has not seen anything close to this.
@drew, you picked Arkansas to beat Georgia this week too. I am starting to think you just pick against whoever is number one on principle.
@bigdaddy, I pick against whoever the whole country agrees on, and right now the whole country agrees on Texas. That is exactly when I start asking questions.
Texas is 2-0, averaging 41.5 points scored and only 15 allowed, they are the number one team in the country, and they are at home. I am not asking any questions.
DJ Allen Jr. is a nice receiver and Owen McCown has been clean with the ball, but this Texas defense with Ian Geffrard up front is a completely different test. Longhorns roll, and it is not close.
