Texas brand of football has not inspired as of late. Many on here expected them to blow out Tulsa. I indicated that they would not. I felt they would win in a close one, but there was a fear that they could lose. I don't know what it is, but they are not good. I can't pick them against USC. Having them favored by 3.5 is the kiss of death. They will have to play with zero mistakes and zero penalties. Their run game is not that good and their starting QB makes some serious bad throws at times. He also makes terrible decisions at the absolute worst times. Can they win, yes, because USC is a shell of its former self. Texas has not played well at home in big games though. USC will bring it. I still see a 27-17 USC victory. It hurts me to write that, but let's be real about it.

I’m more concerned about them than the offense. The O at least moved the ball some....negated by stupid penalties and drops. All fixable.
Meh, Tulsa.

Again, the problem with the O is PLAYCALLING AND GAMEPLANS THAT DON'T FIT THE QBs SKILL SET.
As Smart said, the D worries e more right now...…..but it is designed to stop Big 12 spread offenses.....soooooo…….

I knew you were not catching anything, your son is taking over the No. 1 position in the boat.
I'm ready for that day! I wanna sleep all the way to the lake! Eat snacks and get crumbs everywhere. Take a nap and wake up in time to go to weight in and get a check!![emoji12]
Haven't been on lake Fork since Aug 25th! Been busy with work. Boo. I bet I catch fish before I leave sight of the ramp this weekend both days!![emoji2]

The bad offense goes all the way back through last year. I feel like the defense is easier to clean up. My biggest problem with the offense is the actual scheme.
