McLaughlin at center is absolutely mistake prone under any sort of real pressure. He has NOT improved in pressure situations. He had several key errors against Auburn that were of the exact same type against Texas.

He is the key to beating Alabama up front.

He is the weak link on our offense. Word has it he had hand/wrist surgery right before the season and has been battling through. A month off could be huge. Even so, I think Texas is going to find this is not the same team they beat in September.
