Michigan was a 21 point favorite vs Fresno State. They won by 20. Missed covering by a single point. 

Oregon was a 49.5 point favorite vs Idaho. They won by 10. Missed covering by 40 points.

I don't know where sane Gator fans are today, many probably understand "it's going to take some time", while being frustrated.  They easily can finish 4-8, they even could plausibly finish 1-11 with that schedule.  They have a W next week, and then maybe Miss State and Kentucky, maybe, and UCF maybe.  They will be 10+ point dogs in every other contest.

I think it's closer than that.  Michigan looked like a week1 team with a new head coach and a ton of new players. Week2 is going to be different.

It's gonna be a fun game in the Big House.

Of course, I WANT the Horns to beat them by 50.  

But I think a close game is much more realistic.  The Michigan defense is the real deal and Texas is going to have to be patient and workmanlike to put points on the board.

defense can only hold out for so long, if the offense keeps going 3 and out and putting the defense in bad spots the defense will get tired and the damn will eventually break. I think that happens next week vs Texas and the Longhorns pull away eventually because of it.

I tend to think they should give him another year. Schedule is nuts this year and if they can get DJ Lagway some experience and develop him a bit this year they might be a solid team in 2025 and so long as Lagway continues to develop- be a really good team in 2026.
