Texas Game Expectations (TX -17)

[CycloneErik]

If Rus goes over 130 yards rushing and we get at least two touchdowns from the defense, we should win this pretty comfortably.

This is the most unexpected collection of words for a take in a long time. I approve and hope it goes just like this.

I predict I'll be drunk as hell on the Wekiva river.

Not being superstitious, but have we won yet since you started these threads? Don't jinx us man!

Jeremy needs to leave, go on a vacation. Wait...

Texas 40, ISU 16

Texas will have 2-3 deep passing scores. KSU should have had at least a couple long completions if not for the fumble into the endzone and receivers overthrown. Won't be able to contain the running game either. ISU's D has been good, but also lucky in some cases.

ISU gets three field goals and a defensive TD.

Not wasting my morning in front of the TV for this one.

I follow you in your pick and rationale. You lost me on the last sentence. I'm still following my Cyclones thru thick and thin.

The 2020-21 BB season was a bit too much. I will admit that.

I predict pain

It will be painful for one team. My second prediction.

How'd we do?

I predict I'll be drunk as hell on the Wekiva river.

And you're not inviting us?

I'm feeling a classic back against the wall Matt Campbell win tomorrow

I hope you are right, I'll be at the game. Man I just don't see any way this is close unless this defense really puts on a show, like shuts them out kind of thing and scores twice. Just a lot to ask.

Cartavious Norton breaks out. We still lose, but the offense looks slightly different.

Texas is about the only team we've been able to beat in our last 2 games against them that were decided by 1 score (2019 and 2020). But we are riding an overall 3 game losing streak in games decided by 1 score. I predict one of these streaks ends on Saturday. Unfortunately, it's probably not the one we want to end.

It went like I thought it would. And I hate that it did.

If we really are 1-8 in our last 9 games decided by 7 points or less, then we are overdue to pull out a squeaker against OU. Normally I wouldn't want to go into a bye week on a 4-game losing streak, but I agree with another poster that this is a chance for our coaches to give it everything they've got to turn things around. I think we have a shot to do just that, but we've got to end this losing streak in our game against OU.

Call me crazy but I think we either win or lose a close one. Yes, I know our offense needs alot of work, but our defense is TOP NOTCH. Also, it's a trap game for Texas.

We aren't that far away from a great team. We are 3 plays or 11 points away from being 3-0 in the conference and 6-0 overall with a Top 15 ranking.

HORNS DOWN, GO CYCLONES!!

Would you look at that, LOSE a close one!

We'll lose by a FG on a hor$eshit call by the officials late in the 4th. Bank on it.
