I don’t really have a rooting interest in Texas, but it seemed like last year, a lot of the best teams had quarterbacks who were solid enough, but often not that fun or impressive.

A part of me hopes Arch can be that.
Well I'm with you on that.  I hope he becomes one of the great ones, wouldn't that be fun?

Tough to predict this game so early in the season, but OSU has a lot to overcome.

 There's a couple huge question marks. How will the O-line be and the running game.  We can say what we want about stars and talent and hype, but they are replacing a crazy talented backfield from a year ago.

I think Texas wins by 10, unless Caleb Downs and the defense can force some key turnovers.
  I mentioned this in one of the other threads, big hole left from the draft and graduation.O-Line is suppose to be fine,not sure myself.With the new RBs can they keep the heat off of Smith by establishing the run.Carnell Tate should be alright at the other WR.If tOSU can't run the UT will pin their ears back.

  But with QB we shall see the Bucks had depth and experience last season. Texas Defense is two deep in most positions and they will use it to keep their guys fresh.Hope Julian Sayin can get the ball out quick.Horns DL Colin Simmons  is a true Frosh and lead the team in sacks last season - that could be problematic

26 players from the last time these 2 teams met, are now on NFL rosters.  

We have no idea how the new versions will look.

Great point. Lot of turnover and new faces for both these teams, 26 players is half an nfl team roster.

like my new nickname, has a nice ring to it. And you can bet your ass I'll be drinking heavily Saturday, as college football will officially be back and that's worthy of a celebratory drink. or ten.
