I think a lot has changed. Completely new QB, added another 5* RB, improvements on DLine and secondary. Like I stated in my post this is a completely different team and the OU game is much closer without Worley throwing a pick-6 and a blocked field goal as the team with the most freshman in CFB on their 1st away game...

This game is really hard to predict. I think the game being at home should give us the edge, but noone on this team has beaten a quality opponent yet. I'll say Oklahoma by seven until the Vols show me they can win meaningful games.

Look. I have followed Aggie Football long enough to play the, "eliminate the dumbfoundingly stupid plays and the score is pretty much even" game. Hell I've been a Cowboys fan too and I've done the same shite. As I've gotten older, I've realized how dumb that thinking is. That pick 6, and a lot of turnovers for that matter, was a culmination of a lot of things. Futility leads to just trying something riskier and dumber simply because y'all have no option. They outclassed you from about the first snap.


For context on me watching y'all play Oklahoma... I watch every OU game I can. I loathe them. My entire family is from that state and I absolutely love it when they lose. I was rooting for y'all last year and I'll be rooting for you this year. Y'all finished the season strong, and they fell flat on their face, so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that you win, but they were so far ahead of you that I find it hard to believe. I like Dobbs, and y'all are definitely better with him, but your offensive line won't be THAT much better, and your defense... Well. Like A&M it's still simply too young.
