Week 2 Prediction Thread: Texas vs Alabama...Season Defining Game

[22Horn]

They will attemt to keep Texas from effectively running the ball.....between all 3 B's how many runs do the 3 of them have at college level..under 40!

 

[22Horn]

Hammer, I tend to agree with you on this....Saban respects and seems to like SS....

what is 'boiling'?

 

[militaryhorn]

^^^ A BILL IN SINTON SIGHTING!!!

Good to see you on the board again!

You know it is serious if Bill in Sinton is making a prediction. I think this is the first one I have seen him make.

 

[militaryhorn]

I picked Texas to win in my season prediction entry and I will pick them to win today...albeit with some trepidation.

Texas - 30
Tide - 27

 

[Horn6721]

Texas 35
bama 31

 

[militaryhorn]

Happy Texas vs. Alabama Eve!!!

@militaryhorn - so far, # predictions of those picking the Horns and those picking Bama?

 

[Walking Boss]

One simply does not go into the shoe at night and win, Oh wait, wrong year. One simply does not go into Tuscaloosa at night against Satan and win.

Sark was sporting a cool Longhorn pullover in his Gameday interview that I’ve not seen before (black with white Nike and Longhorn logos, quarter zip). I wanna be like Sark, where can I get one?

 

[Horn6721]

Interviewer made the point several times how the crowd at GameDay was loudly booing Sark.
Couldn't hear it but predictable that they would boo.

 

[22Horn]

Did gameday host make their predictions??

 

[Horn6721]

22 yes/ everybody but Lee Corso picked bama.

 

[mchammer]

22 yes/ everybody but Lee Corso picked bama.

They are all tools, but I give corso the most credibility among the thieves.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

No one has talked yet about how sweet our storm trooper unis are going to look under the lights. Just sayin

 

[mmsnake]

Desmond picked Texas.

i pick Texas with a late auburn fg to win or seal it.
Ol has to play well. Communication and responsibility problem last week
If ol plays well ewers and rec will be successful.
Have to run it decently and stay out of 2nd and 3rd and long.
Have to convert 3rd and 4th and short. I like Murphy to run qb draw and set up pass
Al. Ol is good and massive. Lb have to have great game.
Need to contain running game and esp milroe running.
Milroe is not a good enough passer to pick apart our secondary but worried about throws over the top esp with safeties focused on running game.
Need to be plus on turnovers.
Texas has the talent just needs to play well and make the key plays.

 

[Horn6721]

mmsnake
right. I forgot Desmond's pick.

Doing my pre-game prep now, feeling a little aggressive so hey does anyone know how I can pin my ears back

I say 25% should be sufficient.

Bump

 

[mchammer]

Yeah, but we have the dogs this year on the DL, and horses at LB, to minimize the damage.

Bump

 

[mchammer]

You guys are forgetting the offense can still score with quick passes to JWhit, Worthy, TE, and the RB. The OL doesn’t have to be stellar (needed for deeper throws).

Bump

 

[mchammer]

I agree the quicker the play and quicker the ball is transferred from Ewers to a skilled player the better. Then, one out of 10 plays, look downfield on a deep throw.

Bump

 

[militaryhorn]

Here are the Top 10 for picks this week. Congrats to @moondog_LFZ and @VYFan for winning this week. AND FOR TEXAS PLAYING A GREAT GAME OF FOOTBALL!

 

[George Bailey]

Bama 42
Texas 13

Nothing from last Saturday impressed me, especially Ewers. I'm also afraid that we're just one game away from a QB controversy. This might be that game.


There, I set the reverse jinx. It's bound to work.

 

[mchammer]

I presume Ford will drop back in coverage to snatch 1-2 INT’s while Anthony Hill spies Milroe. Gbenda will cover the RB. Milroe better have his head on a swivel.

BUMP!!!!

 

[mchammer]

Ford came within 2” of an INT at end of 1st half. Otherwise it would have been 3 INT that I predicted.

 

[Detective Shilala]

Ho, Lee. Chit. Mang

I am so happy to be so wrong
This feels legit, like finally that transformative win which has been so elusive for the past 13 years.

I have been very skeptical of Sark and Ewers but what I saw tonight reminds me of what I saw in 98 with Mack and Applewhite and the rest. This is a legit, transformative season we are witnessing

 

[stanhin]

I guessed Alabama's total exactly, but I shortchanged our offense by 22 points. Never happier to be so wrong.

 

[Detective Shilala]

Some other things that gruntle me ( beside having a bunch of DAWGS on either side of the ball in general)
.,,,
1-Penalties! Or lack there of. Discipline! And forcing theirs. (Doubt this will continue in Big 12 conference play but the big 12 can kiss our ************* ***)

2-luck! Every chapiinship team needs to have some luck. They make their luck though. We made our luck tonight.

 

[X Misn Tx]

You're welcome for the anti curse. For it was I who predicted a negative outcome to ensure the good guys win.
