Common Man Prediction Thread – UT vs Baylor

[Coot]

Texas 19 - 15 Baylor

Those individual scores seem very unlikely, so why not.

Y'all supposed to get snow in Amarillo, Dillo? Come on down. The sun's out here and I just got my sunshine pump working again last week. ?

Yeah. Snow and ice sucks. Before my wife passed, we always spent the winter in Rockport. Those were the days.

 

[Basis Points]

I say 24 Texas, 21 Baylor.  Defense is playing better but Baylor will dink it down the field with some short passes, but the offense will do just enough with 4 scores.

 

[Austin Horn]

I have no idea 

 

[longhorndon]

I have a small wager on Baylor plus the points...  and would be happy to lose the bet. I guess even happier for the Horns to win by a touchdown!

 

[Austin Horn]

Everytime we have a chance for a big win like this we seem to choke. This is Baylor's super bowl. We seem to be talking more about Kansas than our own game.

Entire thing just screams for a let down.

Baylor 24

Texas 20

This is what I fear

The defense has played well the last couple of weeks. I believe they are understanding their roles and responsibilities better and it's becoming fun for them. I think we'll see them play well again. They do play a soft zone so Baylor will be able to move the ball with short passes, but it will be a bend but not break type of defense. Keep them to field goals and We can put them away before the 4th quarter.

Offensively again if we keep the passes to fewer than 30, we'll be fine. Run, run, run. Sark will throw everything plus the kitchen sink at Baylor to win this one. If Ewers struggles and we are behind, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Card. If we do, Card has to avoid taking sacks and improve on his 3rd down passing completion.

Texas has a game that truly means something, they want another shot at TCU on a neutral field

they take care of business against Baylor at home and Kansas breaks the hearts of everyone and pulls off the upset

huge difference between 7-5 and 8-4

If we make it, we will have backed in.

 

[NEOkHorn]

If we make it, we will have backed in.

So if we back in, we should do what? Decline the appearance. 
The system is set up for the two teams that do the most throughout the entirety of the season to play for the championship. If we win and KSU loses, we will be one of those two teams. I for one would be thrilled to get another shot at TCU for the title. If we win, it won’t be like we are claiming an Aggie type banner, we will have won it on the field. If that happens, I’d bet there are more than a few Longhorn fans that won’t care how we got into the game.?

Not true. It will mean we, Texas, won the necessary games to play in the championship while Kansas St didn't.

You're allowed to speak bad about Ewers on this board, but not Card. ?

 

[Steelhammer]

Also if we would've beat 2nd tier Texas Tech & overated Okie Lite we wouldn't have to depend on Kansas beating KSU.

 

[Hiwood]

If we make it, we will have backed in.

so what , at this point because of our past hiccups we are backing into any bowl game we are invited to, but this Longhorn fan did not enjoy not even being bowl eligible last year, Hey we let some games get out of our grasp but that is now water under the bridge, we can argue about those all you want after Sat

What if UT sneaks in the the BIG12 championship game and happens to win it, how are you gonna keep them out of a NY6 bowl game as a conference champ

 

[North Texas Golfer]

And if KSU hadn't lost to us and folded like a cheap suit against TCU, it wouldn't matter. I mean, their offense completely turtled from midway in the 2nd qtr to the end of the game. Only had 82 yards of total offense the rest of the game and blew an 11 point half-time lead. 

Damn, that sounds familiar.

And if Gideon catches an easy int., we play in a 3rd title game under Mack, he is finishes on a high note, gets to ride off into the sunset a hero with Texas still on top and the last decade plus in football purgatory doesn't happen.

IF ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.

I thought worms did have guns in Texas.?
