Whoa this is going to be a shoot out. Longhorn offense is starting to roll and W.Va. doesn't have a great defense. Now that W.Va offense is something else of course. But it's a clone of the Ok.State offense, which is where Holgerson coached last. So we are familiar with it and we get them in Austin in front of a sold out crowd of 100K. David Ash had his best game as a Longhorn Sat night, he was calm and delivered the ball well to his recievers. Also I think we will start to see more of freshman sensation Johnathon Gray who was the #1 RB in the country last year as a HS SR. Which isn't esp good news for the guy who was the #1 RB in the country as a HS Sr the year before in Malcolmn Brown. But Gray just looks so fast and decisive running the ball. Defense....well so far this defense has been a huge disappointment. We have possibly the 2 best DE's in the country in Jackson Jeffcoat and Alex Okafor but still teams are running the football on us way too easily. Everybody expected this defense to be a top 10 at least and maybe a top 5 type of defense. Hasn't happened yet. It's Manny Diaz 2nd year so he can't say it's a new defense and needs time. The boys need to step up their game. I'm predicting a shoot out in Austin with Texas coming out on top!
Should be interesting. You guys are moving the ball and scoring now, so the track meet is all set. You know WVU won't put much more than 11 wet noodles out there on D, so it's going to come down to who gets tired running up and down the field! :lol: I know you don't have the best DE's in the country, cuz one of them is wearing #94 for the Aggies. 8)
Phil Steele predicts Texas will blow out WVA on Sat Night. In the inside Texas pick'em contest I have Texas 67 WVA 45. He says WVA offense is way over rated. I hope he's right. Phil Steele predicts big Texas Win Oh yeah he also predicts the Gators will beat LSU!
I agree with him. WVU is a paper hillbilly. You guys will pad your offensive stats against what is the only defense worse than Baylor's, and after you've knocked Gino around a few times, he'll start to make big mistakes which will pour gas on the fire...
Didn't see the game of course since I was all in for the ND game. But I'm just shocked that we lost this game. We had 2 weeks to prepare for them, and freak'n Baylor put up 60 points. Manny Diaz currently not very popular on Texas Internet Boards, in the preseason we were talking about him like he was maybe the best young DCoord in the FBS. Doesn't get any easier either.
The Mountaineers are real for sure. No one has stopped their offense yet. I only saw a few moments of the game when we got back from our game but that is the highest powered offense I've seen this year. But I haven't been able to watch Oregon.
8) re: West Virginia The Mountaineers offense is for real. Their defense is all cardboard and Scotch tape... re: Oregon Ducks Arizona beat Okie State 59-38, lost to Stanford in OT 54-48, and they're averaging over 50 points per game. Oregon beat them 49-0. Think about it...
