Common Man Prediction Thread – UT vs The Cockroaches

[Johnny Depp]

So you think we start running clock from the start of the 3rd qtr? That is not how this offense operates, and going that slow isn't going to help the 2nd half offense struggles. Gotta keep running the offense the same way we do in the first half. 

The failure at the end wasn't clock management, rather, it was failing to get that first down on our final possession and that came down to a 3rd down call that got blown to pieces. 

We only passed 9 times, of course we were trying to run out the clock, just like every 2nd half. We just aren’t any good at it. 
 I agree about what we should do, but we never have.

You said nothing about our run/pass split. You said we should be running the clock down before each snap. Two different conversations.

When they have the ball it's strength on strength. They have a good run game and we have a good run defense. They hit lots of explosive passes, we are good at preventing long passing gains. Duggan isn't great at the short to intermediate game and we aren't great at stopping it. 

When we have the ball, our main strength is our run game and they don't have a great run defense. I think we will have success running the ball. If the passing game is clicking, I think they will have a hard time stopping us. 

I think we score 21 points each half, for 42 total. Without Quentin Johnston, they score 28, with him they score 38.

You should re-think that. You may well see QJ trot out there. But it's not a 100% QJ if he does. He could re-injure on any play.

I'll rephrase to "with a healthy QJ"

 

[Basis Points]

QJ will play and it appears Jamison is out.  Our secondary is very weak and weaker without Jamison.  Really concerned with our ability to stop the pass.

I think Watts will cover QJ - he is a bigger WR that is not all that speedy.

Jamison would have taken care of their speed WR, Taye Barber. We don't have much depth so any injury hurts. Without 2 of our best group in Jamison and Guilbeau. Cook will likely be able to play more than last week.

TB14 wins the week. He got closer to the actual score and picked the correct winner.

Careful Sir. You keep denying the other poster and he will simply put his own banner up just like his fellow aggies.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

7 win Sark is right on schedule. 

 

[DBut82]

Well, I did predict TCU would score 17 ??‍

I saw his prediction. He wasn't as close as TB14.
