This is a weird game...despite being unranked and facing a 16th ranked purple wizards team that mudholed the land thieves, Horns enter as a seven point FAVORITE. Over/Under is 58, which is relatively low for a Big12 game. Weather should be decent...on the cool side but with no rain during the afternoon and not much wind.
KSU doesn't pass the ball much but when they do, they take control of it, with only one pick tossed by their starting QB. Meanwhile, it seems like Texas has tried to do an Oprah impression the past few weeks...you get a pick and you get a pick and you, well, you get the point.
KSU rushes at will and Texas cannot stop the run with any measure of regularity.
KSU held the same KU squad that put 48 on us to a ten-spot. They put 48 on a land thieves squad that held us to 27.
Season-long pressures come to a head here...and Texas coaches know that a loss means several may be cleaning out their desks come Sunday afternoon.
Somehow, the offense puts up 22 and the defense adds a scoop and score, taking Texas to 29 on the game. It won't be enough to cover, but the defense FINALLY gets a stop in the fourth quarter on a series where a field goal was NOT going to be sufficient.
Texas: 29
KSU: 25
