Chisholm victory?

[kso_FAN]

The match-up according to those Big 12 stats I posted yesterday.



YPP = yards per play
PPP = points per play
PPD = points per drive
PPD<40 = points per drive inside the opponent's 40 yardline
AFP = average starting field position
Succ% = Offensive success percentage (Success = 50% of the yards to gain on first, 70% on 2nd down, and 100% on 3rd/4th down)
TO Margin = Turnover margin per game

KSU games = @WVU, Tech, @OU
UT games = @OSU, OU, ISU

The match up is even on paper.
We've played a slightly tougher schedule.
We are at home.

Cats 38 - Horns 30

I think we got this, probably will follow a similar script to the TT game, fairly close and shootout at HT, after half we clamp down on D and pull out a close victory.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Maybe our defense won't bother to read Robinett's garbage this week and we come out strong in the first half.

[CHONGS]

maybe something else to look at:


I fear Texas successfully grinding out long (in terms of yardage not time) drives against our defense and our offense stalling on long drives. We will likely need at least one non-offensive TD to win.

Their offense is scarier than Tech's because they can run and because their defense is not as garbage as tech's.  They aren't as good as WVU, but this game might play out similarly.

Vegas should offer a 3pt advantage due to home field, and another 7pt advantage because KSU, when it comes to this game.

I think their ability/willingness to run makes them a better matchup for us. I also think the type of running attack they have also helps us. They don't do as much to get Forman in space as OU does with their backs. Texas will make this a battle of fronts and we have a very good front. UT has been tested on the road plenty so Buechele should be fine on that account but this will be the first good defense he'll see on the road. I think we jump out early, for once and keep UT at arms length. 31-21

It's going to be hard to root for us in this one

This. We're solid against a run heavy offense, and their frosh qb isnt capable of carrying them. Their defense is white hot garbage. We'll win by 17.

[kim carnes]

Guys, we aren't good at defense.  Stop saying that we are.

bcftoys.com says Cats 32-Horns 26 with a .665 chance of winning.

Also projected to finish 7-5 or 6-6. Very likely wins over ISU and KU and a toss up vs OSU slightly in our favor.

I can see this game going either way. I'd like to believe my cats will pull out the W but I can see us making costly mistakes and poor play calling like against WVU as well.

I think if we play a similar game against WVU at home we win. Plus Texas isn't nearly as good as WVU.

[Bqqkie Pimp]

Two more factors in our favor...

1) Homecoming

2) "Cold" weather

It should be about 55 degrees when the teams come out for warmups and to Texans, that is "cold".   

I crap you not, I went to a HS game last week that was 64 degrees at kickoff and people were bundled up and complaining like it was last years Iowa State game weather.

Guys hate to say it but Mack Brown isn't running out of that tunnel.

True, the dominant Charlie Strong is now running things (with his .451 winning percentage while in Austin).

Waters/Lockett aren't running out, either.

[sonofdaxjones]

Oh, we'll have success in one facet of the game on offense, and then blam . . . SYSTEM OVERRIDE kicks in and demands balance in the calling of plays to indicate balance, because the SYSTEM demands balance.

I also foresee a lot of Insta-Mono, like DM rips off a nice run, and then heads to the sideline with Insta-Mono.

There will be several moments where it will appear we are throwing the game like the time we actually did throw the game for Mack.

I think we'll lose to ISU.
