As much as I hate to make a negative prediction, it just wouldn't shock me this week.

Kansas plays a high risk, high reward defense. We should have good success moving the ball on them but they try to be opportunistic and create turnovers. It may be one of the only ways they can slow our offense down.

Kansas has a good defense but we just have too many weapons on offense and I don’t see any team doing well against this defense. Us - 38 them - 14.

High risk high reward to me mean they got nothing on defense to stand toe to toe and take on the big boys so they blitz, probably every play hoping they get a turnover, that also means single coverage or someone goes uncovered, QE MUST find the hot receiver, and that usually means the TE so Helm and Sanders could have big nights, on defense they have to contain, probably like playing Milroe, Their QB is from here in the hood (Lawndale, next to the Forum and SoFi), he didnt get any big offers in HS and finally settled on KU,cant remember if he is the last of the Les Miles recruits

They have some stout run defenders upfront that they picked up from the portal and some ball hawk DBs. LBs are a liability, especially in coverage (Hence the JT Sanders prediction).

I do think your take is correct overall, they can't stop teams consistently so that take risks and try to create Havoc plays to stop drives.

Texas 34

kansas 17

 

[Austin Horn]

Texas 34

kansas 17

I can see this

This was a trap game when the schedule came out and even more so now that they are 4-0

Las Vegas oddsmaker dont believe in Texas yet but they are good for business, the Horns have a long history of not covering the number, mainly because Mack always called off the dogs

Sark says its all gas no brakes but we havent seen that completely, I know and y'all know we should have hung FIFTY on Baylor..there was a lot of movement in the one this week and it all went toward Kansas but 16.5 is really 17 and the game will probably end around 14

If I was a gambler I would leave the game alone. Texas will win but the spread isn't something Im feeling good vibes about

I am still waiting on that game where we just mudhole the other guys. I said last week if we did that against bailer we had a chance to run the table.....but we did not do it. This team still does not quite believe it is a monster. The switch could flip at any second, but until it does, we will still be vulnerable to the upset.

 

[83Dee]

Texas 35
Kansas 24

If you predict Texas to score 35 points every game, you'll be really close.  Kansas gets a late score or two to make it look close.  

If you're betting against the spread, take Kansas if it is still around 17 points.

38-6 is a mudhole, as far as I'm concerned.

While Baylor was having a QB issue, their defense was still Aranda quality.

It went down to 16 today.

 

[texbound]

I don't know why, but I'm nervous about this game.  Kansas has nothing to lose.

38-6 is a mudhole, as far as I'm concerned.

While Baylor was having a QB issue, their defense was still Aranda quality.

Take away the first muffed punt and this score more than likely swings at least six points to 41-3.

 

[Baron]

If the Texas D stops their running game I predict 35-10

 

[Coot]

38-6 is a mudhole, as far as I'm concerned.

I think Baylor had 3 or 4 blatantly dropped passes which really surprised me.
