Horns247 Board

You owe me for that wall this article just made me run through. According to my TripIt account, 94 days till I leave for the Ole Miss game.

The way I look at the schedule, I predict that one as an L for the Horns as of right now.

Ye of little faith. Tsk tsk.

Let's see how London goes. My guess is he comes back. That's the general thinking of the coaches.

There you go trying to be realistic again. Tsk, Tsk.

If he plays this year it's going to take half the season to get in football shape and have much impact on the field, which will hurt his draft status

If he comes back, he'll have more time this fall to get into shape than he did last fall, and he'll be more experienced in Harsin's scheme. He didn't decide to play football until after the first game last year and didn't begin practicing with the team until after the Rice game. The long jump is August 3/4, and the closing ceremonies are August 12. If he left after the long jump finals, he'd have the entirety of fall camp to get back in the swing of things.

The defense should at the very minimum keep Texas in every game ... Including against OU

IMO, the defense being in the second year is at least as important as the offense being in it's second year.

Came back and played in the very next game last year if I recall. His experience is needed. The only issue is how much he will have left in the tank. Track commitment is heavy and his event is hard on the legs.

True but it is missing a couple of really high impact pieces form last years version and the replacements are not nearly as good. But I agree, OU will be OU.
The challenge for OU is they played against a very young squad last year. The squad is much better because of seasoning. The QB they saw last year is also much better. There won't be 5 TOs this year. Finally, the D they faced last year was learning the ropes. They will find a new more experienced version of that D this year. It will be rather low scoring but we win.

Hey, we will see. Our boys werent exactly old either. We didnt lose that much and played a ton of people at positions all over the field. We are a year more experienced also. I am looking forward to seeing this defense of yours.
