hopefully, jamaal is ready for this game. he popped in for a carry or two in the colorado game and then went back out, but we didn't need him. hopefully, we don't need him against tech, but it's pretty much the last game of the regular season where we need anybody so it's the one game i hope he plays in. i can't believe if we get past tech we're pretty much guaranteed an undefeated 11-0 regular season. baylor, kansas, a&m, and oklahoma state have no chance. hell, baylor may be the best team we play for the last month.
Tech fans amuse me. They beat Texas State and Indiana State and think they're USC or something. Texas wins by at least 3 TDs. Tech beat NEBRASKA by 4 but you guys are going to blow us out? Amusing...
There was no need for Jamaal to play against CU, but I expect him to be fully back come TT. I don't expect a letdown on the Horns part, TT will be the 2nd best team we play this season. In Austin w/ our defense and offense, I think the Horns will be all over this one.
Tech should not have even beaten Nebraska. If the DT had just fell on the ball instead of running with it, Nebraska could kneel out the game and won. Then again, if I were in his same situation, I'd probably do the same thing. Oh yeah I think Tech beat Kansas St. too. 30-17? Not bad against the worst Big 12 Team. Yes, worse than Baylor.
This game is going to hinge on scheming on defense. You either stop the Tech offense, or you don't. If you do, this game is an easy blow out. If not, this game could be like 2 years ago, when it came down to who-has-the-ball-last. It's not a personnel thing either - just a matter of scheme. We changed defensive coordinators this year, so it's hard to say exactly what to expect. I think this game will be competitive, although in the end, Texas has far too much on offense. If the Tech doesn't offense play perfectly, Texas wins comfortably.
TT looks like they will be #8 in the BCS when it comes out shortly.
