UT Football Predictions?

    (Notice I have no concerns on D)

    The only concern I have with the D is that they might hurt each other trying to crush the guy with the ball, if that tells y'all anything

  • Worries for the year:
    1)injuries (hopefully we had our bad luck last year)
    2)kicking game(FGs, Punts, kickoffs, snaps, holds, extra points, Tackle)

    Wyoming, New Mexico, @OleMiss - none of the 3 will give us a game. We may not win all 3 games by 4 TDs, thats bc we will be playing some young guys to get them experience early and will be working on ironing out some of our weaknesses. The outcome in all 3 games will never be in doubt.

    Bye Week(next 4 games will define season)

    @Ok St - new Fr QB early on in the season for Pokies. Our D should hold serve in this game and stop a usually high powered O. Our O barring some bad turnovers should wear down the Cowboy D and we will win by 7-14.

    Wv - the best O we will face all year. We have a chance bc its at DKR but we will need some timely turnovers and stops from our D! Our OL/RBs needs to take control of this game and keep Geno off the field. Ash will need to make a few plays just to keep a couple of drives going. Special teams will need to be special in every possible way(kicking and tackling). Ill put this as a toss up!

    Ou - We have a much better chance than last 2 years. Our staff has made this a priority game. Assuming that Bob will bring back every player he suspended, they will have a good passing game but not as good as last year. Our D will be ready!! Offense, same as Wv game, pound and make some plays from play action. Special teams, see above. Toss up but I am confident......."there is blood in the water."

    Baylor - at DKR, no RG3. Sure they wont fall too far back without their 3 best O players but they are not the same team as 2011. Also, no one is taking them for granted anymore. They cant hold down our OL and we will win this game by 10-17.

    @Kansas - Not close after 1st Q, we win by 24-27. Get some veterans a little rest in the 2nd half.

    @TT - They keep it tight in first half with their O but wear down quick in 3rd and 4th Q. We will run them to the ground and win by 13-20. But only bc our DB are bad ass!

    Iowa St - they will come to play in this game but like TT and Kansas just dont have the depth on both lines. They just wear down and cant keep up. Texas by 17-20, late.

    Bye Week(they came at good times this year)

    TCU - late in the season will be tough but this isnt the MWC, the big boys have depth that TCU doesnt. Offseason distracting issues of the Frogs, they lost 1-2 more players today. They play well and smart but fall in 2nd half. Texas by 10-14.

    @K St - on the road vs a team that has our voodoo doll. Will not be easy at all. They always play hard and well vs Texas and they will again. We had them beat last year but made 1-2 very bad plays that changed the game. It wont happen again. Another close game in the 4th Q but Texas D will have some stops bc we will have depth at DL. Hard fought win on the road as long as Special teams doesnt mess it up. Texas by 3-10 but ill keep it as a toss up bc of the doll and ST.

    9 wins and 3 toss up games. We will fall somewhere somehow(like 2008, sorry, bad memories for all of us).
    I feel very confident in 10 wins in regular season. 10-2 or 11-1. and onto a BCS bowl!

    And former Big 12 conference teams will finish....
    Aggies 5-7 "damn, what the hell did we get into."
    Mizzou 8-4 "see, dont regret inviting us, we are not as bad as the other guys."
    Colorado 5-7 "which resort should we go skiing at this weekend?"
    Nebraska 9-3 "God damn Texas....i want partial qualifiers", "its a run, oh shit, its a pass", "the Big 12 should be sponsored by frozen corn not some soda company who has their headquarters in Plano", "there was no time left!!!"

    thats all folks!!

  • Texas should have won 10 games last year, damn injuries.

    Anything less than challenging for the Big 12 championship is a failure. Texas should never go 3 years without being in the Top 1-2 of the league.

    I think UT might go 7-5 in football this year. I think they will struggle against OSU, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Baylor and TCU. What are your thoughts based on their schedule?

    Really? You expect no improvement from a team that had 7 freshmen on the first team offense and was transitioning to new coordinators and systems on both sides of the ball?

    10-2

  • Hawkins staying healthy and at least being average along with much better play at the Center position is the key to the Longhorns going 10-2 or as good as 11-1. The Defense will be DOMINATING and the skill positions on offense are going to surprise many teams in 2012.

    Anyone who is saying a five or four loss season this year for Texas is just a moron.

    Just too much talent and too good of coaching for that to take place.

  • The upside is another 10 win season with no championship and losses to OU, Baylor and KSU. Clap, clap, clap. Dodds is delighted... Mack gets a raise... Clap, clap, clap... 2013 is the year!!!! lol

    So you're a glass half empty kinda guy. 9-3 at worst...A LOT better if Ash is decent.

    Supposing relative health I see 9-3 as the worst probable outcome with losses to WVU, OU, and wait for it.....KSU. I think it's possible that OSU or BU could surprise, but probably not both. 8-4 is certainly possible, but it would take catastrophic injuries or all QB's coming down with mono simultaneously for 7-5 to enter the picture.

    The optimist in me sees a 10-2 or 11-1 season with losses against one of OU, WVU, or another team that jumps from nowhere to hand us a second defeat.

    I'm just about right where you are.

    I think WVU and OU are winnable, but I think they're more difficult than many people think right now.

  • This team reminds me of the 2008 Bama team that went 12-2. Coaches in their 2nd year...great defense...great running game. Of course Saban and his staff won the title in 2009..going 14-0. I could see Texas winning it all next year at the Rose Bowl....where they have played for the last 2 national titles played there. I see 10-2 or 11-1 with the loss(es) early....by the end of the year Texas might be the team that nobody would want to play in a playoff game. A consensus top 3 to start next year. There you have it.

    9-3, then 10 wins with the bowl win. This will be our last sub-10 win regular season and we may just surprise and finish better than this too. We have the horses so it just depends if they exceed expectations and stay healthy, but I realistically expect a minimum of nine wins in the first 12 games. These young, serious coaches are not busting their intense butts and working the players for anything less than to be big winners SO ZOO UNCLE LET ME HELP YOU STEP UP OUT OF THE MUCK AND SEE A LITTLE SUNSHINE because that was last years team not this one.

    Thanks for the edification. I think I can see it now.
