Week 11 Prediction Thread: Texas at Arkansas...And So It Begins.

[WorsterMan]

What chance do we have of matching or exceeding their intensity?

There are a few players (mostly Seniors) on this team that were part of the @ FayetteNam 40-21 loss the Horns experienced in 2021.

Perhaps these players will get the attention of players that were not on the team then and warn them what they will experience this Sat. Plus, I think we have to trust Sark to get the team fired up and fully focused.

I think it is critically important the Horns start fast. Limit penalties, turnovers and score! We cannot afford to start slow, let the hawgs gain momentum & confidence, while keeping the crowd in it and roaring.

I think it was DKR's assistant coach Mike Campbell that stated that playing @ Arkansas is like parachuting into Russia. I always thought that was a good way to describe it.

We have to withstand the INITIAL SURGE
We don't get to surge, only they do

 

[EMJ426]

The Mighty Quinn ~ 42
Arkie Razorbacks. ~ 24

Texas - 35
Arkansas - 21

We travel to Arkansas to take on an old SWC rival. I hope Sark prepares the team properly on how much their fans hates us which drives the players to play above their level.

I think the intensity and Texas hatred ay be exaggerated. None of these kids were alive and only a few parents can remember when Tex v Ark was a legit rivalry. Now those games are like Brooklyn Dodgers v New York Giants.

Texas 41
Ark. 10

Uh, were they alive in 21? And those stats would be interesting for 21 too. I will be very happily surprised if they don’t come out VERY fired up. While I never pick against the Horns I’m not the least bit overconfident we can handle them without our best effort. They bounce back after a defeat really well it seems.

Why yhe 'happiness' of 11:00 am game?

 

[nashhorn]

Quinn likes them - the 11:00 am games.

 

[mchammer]

38-24 Horns.

Horns 45
Piggies 28

Ewers stays hot and one of our backs goes over 100 yards. Ryan Wingo makes several big plays. Kicking game continues to under perform.

Pig 27
Horns 38

Our kicking game SUX!

THIS GAME IS HUGE!

 

[TEXAS1983]

This is going to be a tough game. We'll need to weather a strong initial burst of tusk slashing and loud squealing from the home team to come out on top.

I think we do it.

Horns: 34
Feral Hogs: 20

Why yhe 'happiness' of 11:00 am game?

The crowd and so called Arky students hopefully won't be as oiled up. However, with the amount of moonshine available in those parts, that may a moot point.

 

[horn_fan_cpa]

UT - 35
Piggies - 20

 

[guy4321]

Their hatred for the Longhorns will give them intensity and focus.. Close game for most of the time, but Horns will pull away in the 4th quarter.

Texas 37
Hogs 21

Yup. This is their Super Bowl.
