In fairness, they are the Big12's problem today, but will be the SEC's soon.

I wouldn’t expect a lot from a 250 pounder.

He is more like 240 now and you wouldn't know it watching him run. You will get to see plenty of it on Saturday. Your QB is going to have to win this for you. Your RB is a beast but even if we can't shut him down we can limit him enough that your QB will have to make 3rd down plays in a stadium that is going absolutely insane.

I don't think he will pass the test.

Don't let the UA/Rice game fool ya...Razorbacks were hiding their good stuff. I sense UA will win this game on motivation alone.

So let me get this straight… Arkansas fans are telling Texas fans that we should be scared of their version of Tyrone Swoopes??

I think the line will increase as the week progresses. From what I saw yesterday we still don't look like a power 5 conference team.

It’s either going to be a 3.5 point type of game, or we’re going to get destroyed.

Depends on whether any of yesterday was just first game jitters/overlooking Rice, or if it’s just where we’re at right now.

I don’t see it just being an easy two or three score win for Texas. Massacre or we surprise them, one of the extremes.

I wouldn't judge the season by the first game of the year. The Texas game will be in contrast of what was seen yesterday.

I think he wants you to start all the Texas basketball threads. I'm sure they will be high quality and full of stats and information as usual.

I thought fairly highly of Louisiana going into the year. Tu looked strong against them. I figured the line would be much larger.

I was mildly impressed with Sark's performance against Louisiana. I think the piglets have even more pain. Pittman might not be the guy.

Line is scary. Was expecting Texas -7 or so.

Barry Odom is a really good defensive coordinator that does a good job of giving QBs unconventional looks. This is the part of the game that scares me the most. Texas needs to block better than they did vs ULL as well.

Dangerous game. Hopefully the Texas defense gives Arkansas as much hell as the Arkansas D gives Texas. Haven’t seen an O/U yet but might be inclined to take the under

A lot of P5 teams didn’t look like P5 teams yesterday to be fair

Texas also will likely have to do some OL shuffling if RG Junior Angilau can’t go. They have the depth to sustain his loss but really can’t afford another injury

You think not gambling is a sign of being poor?


I do believe the average income in Fayetteville is higher than the average income in Austin. I'm just saying those Texicans pointing the finger at the U of A area as being poor might be off the mark. Now, some parts of the state, sure... but there is no great shortage of cash up in the hills.

As for the game? I don't know. We will see when we see.

Couldn’t have asked for more from an opener than what Texas got in that one. Texas was highly efficient on offense and got to roll a bunch of guys in on both sides of the ball
