Look pal, if you think you can out-sandbag me, you are sorely mistaken.  I know you're younger than I am, I probably have decades of sandbagging experience on you.

Seriously though, it's gonna be a close game.  Horns haven't faced  a defense like Michigan's in... several years, probably?  Alabama's defense was extremely talented but they don't play like Michigan.

Gonna be pretty low-scoring and probably not too pretty.  Most likely, win or lose, neither fan base is going to be happy with the performance, but one of the two will accept it for the sake of the win.

This is the kind of matchup that college football seasons are made for.  It's gonna be fun.... for everyone who's not a Texas or Michigan fan.
I'm not sand-bagging! Lol.

Texas is really really good. With two really good QB's. Michigan? Well they don't have a start-able capable QB. And that kind of matters. A lot. Michigan OL is going to be just fine by the end of the year, but they are going to go through growing pains and have to work out the kinks along the way. Having to face a defense with the athletes that Texas has up front ain't ideal in Game 2 when you have to rebuild that OL and turn it into a unit. Maybe game 4-5-6 the OL will start to click. Not gonna happen Game 2.

I thought Michigan might be able to pull off the upset when the talk was Orji was going to be the guy at QB. I was assuming that Orji would be the dude and they'd go full on spread option and just let him run wild and throw it just enough times a game to keep defenses honest- but they clearly don't want to wholesale change the offense completely and build it around him and they clearly don't trust him to throw it all.

Iowa scored scored 40 yesterday and Lincoln Riley held a ranked team to 17 pts thru 3 qtrs on the road. Jerry Garcia wouldn't believe this shit

Hell of a game. USC’s defense is much better and Riley looks to have another really good QB. PAC after dark goes on a road trip

LSU has a safety named Major Burns? One of the sideline tarts named hotlips?

LSU also has a freshman DL named Breaux. That’s pretty LSU.

USC has an RB that scored the go ahead points - Woody Marks might be the best name in CFB

Maybe that's what they're going to do against Texas, and just didn't want any of that offensive scheme on film so Texas couldn't prepare for it?

I can't image why any kid would want to play for Brian Kelly.

His QB and his team have bus tire tracks all over them right now.

Guy is just atrocious.
