That is what I had in mind even after you clarified what your prediction was

Let's not and say we did.. you want to make a wager at whatever the line is.. I'll listen.. otherwise, I'm not giving up extra points unless you are giving me like 3-1 odds..
Good luck getting anyone on this board to honor that.

It would be pretty sad if we gave up as many points in 1 game as we have all year.. but it's certainly possible..
I honestly don't know what to expect in this game. Both teams can win. Both teams can score, but both teams have good defenses.
It's going to come down to execution, turnovers and special teams. Yes, I know.. Einstein level analysis there..
I just think both teams are pretty evenly matched..

I think how TEs perform and how the defenses cover them will tell us a lot about how this game goes.
The Dawgs focus a lot on their secondary being an issue so far, and compared to previous years it absolutely has been. But I also feel like their LBs haven't played up to their recent standard either despite being just as or maybe even more athletic than they have been. If they weren't basically human heat-seeking missiles once they diagnose the play I think you'd hear a lot more about how they are kind of mediocre there. I think Sark uses the TE as well as anyone in college football, so I see them sneaking out a TE and picking up big yardage in a few key situations because the LBs just don't pick it up and the safeties are going to have to cover deep as their first priority. I don't necessarily think this is the key matchup, but I think we will look at the box score after the game and be like "oh, Texas got like 80 yards from their TEs" or something.
I'm not as familiar with Texas, so I'm not sure how they are going to match UGA's TEs. I do know they probably don't want Anthony HIll guarding them not because hes incapable, but because you'd rather him do other stuff like be there to clean up short stuff and rush the passer IMO.
I think Texas wins by 7-10 but wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way. 30-20 or something along those lines.

This match will tell us everything we need to know about Texas' defense.
I think Georgia's defense is worse than OU's, though...thoughts?

I think you are trolling.. OU's offense is the worst in the conference, and I'm not sure it is even close.

Not trolling; I mistyped.

If Ewers is 100% and playing better than he did against Oklahoma, I think the UTrans wins by a touchdown or more
If he plays like he did against Oklahoma or if Archie has to come into the game, Georgia should easily be a tossup or maybe even a field goal favorite

Who you calling “older fans” azzhole? Who the F do you think has been buying season tickets and having to give a shite ton of money to the Longhorn Foundation to even get the right to buy them for over 30 years?

Right, kirbys because Kirbys defenses have typically not produced?

He’s 1000x better poster than you are UTransgaytor
And your stadium is the quietest large stadium in the land, that’s a fact.
It will be louder this weekend for sure though

Last two games, they've given up 72 points.

There is 1 big stat I follow each year.. and right now, it's a pretty big difference in favor of Texas, but Georgia has played a better schedule, so it's hard to compare for this matchup.
Points Per Drive (net)
Texas 3.25 (2nd)
Georgia 1.00 (24th)
Offensive PPD
Texas 3.77 (7th)
Georgia 2.82 (31st)
Defensive PPD
Texas 0.53 (1st)
Georgia 1.82 (39th)
Why is this stat important?
14 of the last 15 National Champs have finished 1st or 2nd in PPD Net. The exception was Clemson in 2016 and they finished 7th.

Texas is only allowing an average of 6 points per game, if I recall. Don’t think that’s going to hold up this week…still think it’ll be a fight.

Left side of brain says UT 31 - UGA 27
Right side says UGA 37 - UT 24
If UGA plays 30 minutes out of 60 it could get ugly. They have done so in every game this season and are prone to do it every season.
