Common Man Prediction Thread – UT vs The Tortilla Terrorists

[82Horn]

My pick for this game Texas 39. Tech 18

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Yes and TCU and Gibbs beat a much better Texas team 7-0.

Texas was ranked #1.

And it was 6-0 ?

 

[Eastexhorn]

Crabtree made a heck of a play. Team might bein top 12 of all time. 

Seriously can you name one position where TT has a better player?

Depends which teamshows up. Play like vs Bama , a blowout. Play likefirst quarter vs UTSA and a loss.

NTH the cockroaches messedup a lotthat day..

 

[North Texas Golfer]

I’m concerned because it’s a road game. I heard the longhorn blitz with Jeff Howe and Rod Babers. They said that Sark is 13-26 in road games as a head coach. Saturday will tell a lot.  

I wonder if Jeff Howe and Rod Babers mentioned the fact that 15 of those 26 losses on the road were to ranked teams?

 

[Hiwood]

I disagree, our offense is at it's best the fancier Sark gets. Rod Babers really harped on this all of last year, that Sark wouldn't use as many "cheat codes" in the 2nd halves of games. By cheat codes he means things like unique formations, personnel groups, pre-snap motions, RPOs. We would do a ton of those things on the opening script and most of the first half and then just revert to vanilla offense in the 2nd half.

This year, Sark is sprinkling those things in throughout. Pay attention to the offense sets and you will see a ton of personnel packages (including 3 RB sets!), of course the wildcat with ROJO, crazy formations like diamond or the Go-Go sets.

Sark isn't going to show his hole cards until the OU Sucks game, no need to if we can beat this team with the stock vanilla offense

We lost one game to Tech with a Crabtree miracle with a team that was one of our best teams ever.

I agree! That team was better than the team that played in the NC the following year...

Not many head coaches are going to take anything for granted. Probably in between hole cards and stock vanilla.

I'm just going to close my eyes.

I'll go Texas 45. Tech 17

My paper girl just delivered tomorrow’s newspaper.

UT 55

sand aggy 24

I think you can if the gameplan is tailored to his strengths.  His legs definitely need to be a part of that.  I’d like to see more of the diamond formation we saw the last few games. Having Bijan, RJ and Keilan on the field together with Card’s legs could cause lots of trouble.  It would force Tech to stack the box and get one on ones out wide.  Card is good throwing the deep curls.  That could be tough to defend.  I still take a few shots downfield too, they’re bound to hit before long

First drive….diamond formation, 2-5-7 in backfield…..TD

that First drive begs to differ. 3 RB formation, then shift to empy, diamond formation on the TD to Keilan. That is how Sark does it.

Make them prepare a lot

 

[BWilk55]

my 2 long TD passes, one to worthy hit before half time.

Now we just need a couple of INTs. I don't think Donovan Smith can keep up this act of being an uber efficient QB all game.

Three balls the DBs have gotten their hands on but unable to secure the int. Still feel good they will come.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Anybody pick TT?

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Did ANYONE on the thread pick a Tech win?

 

[TexExSpur]

up 31-17 in the third quarter and Sark shat the bed once again.
