Week 12 Prediction Thread: Texas vs. Kentucky...I Will Take the Family Pack Extra Crispy

Two weeks left in the regular season and we are in position to play for the SEC Championship and a National Championship. Need to take care of business this week before we head to College Station next week and fry these Wildcats into submission.

Driver, you opened the door for me, so here goes. Our quarterback is playing at a mediocre level, and “I’m” not being sarcastic. I want Quinn to be great, but he simply hasn’t been. For the most part, he has taken an elite offense, and turned it into mediocrity. Thank goodness for our “elite” defense.

Texas - 31
Kentucky - 6

With this defense, with these receivers, and with this OL, we should be blowing teams out. Some have criticized are running game. But think about this. When you don’t have account for the quarterback — because he poses no run threat whatsoever— how much easier is it to defend the running game? That reason alone is justification to put Arch in.

I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see how Quinn’s lack of mobility doesn’t come back to bite us when we play a good defense, like Georgia or TAM. That is, unless our stellar D can hold teams like Oregon, OSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss — or whomever we might face — to 10 points or less. That’s a huge ask.

I am looking forward to this game and BBN coming into Austin. Across all the sports, I think UT and UK will become quick rivals. The people are good as well. They will enjoy coming to Austin and getting beat down at DKR. The Moody Center will be interesting.

37-10 Horns.
