Michigan

I wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole. With their week 1 performance and ours, it's screaming to bet the house on Texas. But Vegas don't make them big buildings by losing. Something is fishy here and I don't like it. Just win baby. And let the chips fall where they may.

Call me crazy but I thought the middle of our DL was pushed around at times during the run. Going to be a problem.

I'm not counting on a blowout, but I would like a 10 point lead early and to hold on to it.

Scared to predict so I'll just let this one play out. Michigan is still really good.

On offense, I think they will attempt to play bully ball. Long drives down the field 3-4 yards at a time to limit our possessions. Occasional passing threat to keep us honest. Their goal will be a close game in the 4th with hopefully our D running on fumes..

On defense, I think they will attempt to shut down the running game, jump quick pass routes and send pressure at Quinn. Running the ball will be difficult. Having Baxter this week would have really helped in this game specifically. Against Georgia too.. Sark knows all of this though, and he will call plays to counter their approach.

Honestly, from a scheming standpoint, it will be a lot like the Alabama game imo, but Milroe is better QB than either one of their guys, and Michigan's D is perhaps the best in the country. Sark consistently called plays to keep their DL out of the game.

I think Michigan will have some success early running the ball, but I think we will adjust and slow it down.. but we won't be able to completely stop it like we did last year.

Their QB's are really bad. I'm not sure how that happened.. I think we have a really good chance to win by double digits, but if we allow Michigan to hang around, we will be in trouble.

Based on the airport I’m in today, I think there are going to be a lot of Texas fans at the game.

Yeah, our fans travel really well. This game has been circled for a while. Unfortunately, Michigan only gave us 4-5000 tickets, so a lot of people were heading up there without tickets. Now this was a few weeks ago, they have probably bought a lot since then.

Damn I just checked prices and they are pretty reasonable on Seat Geek.

400 pairs listed for $400 or less + fees ($200/each x 2)

Compared to the GA, OU & A&M ticket prices, that's a great price. So yeah, I expect us to have at least 10,000.

I agree Big Bro. Michigan has to limit our offensive possessions to stay within a one score game into the fourth.

If we ever stretch out by two scores or more Michigan is dead meat.

It all comes down to just win, don't care if it is ugly or blowout, just win.

TEXAS FIGHT!!

NGL, their RB scares me. They will run the ball and make it a slugfest. I'm uncertain how we handle that physicality.

does the SEC root for us now when its a non sec game?
