No way.  Sark is doing his best Lou Holtz lol.  

“ nobody is giving us a shot.  They are so good I hope we can even guard them”

Brilliant.

I haven't seen Sark say anything about it, but it's definitely true that nobody's giving Texas a shot.  The mediots are convinced it's gonna be a blowout.

Which is fine with me.  8 days of listening to how badly Ohio State is gonna whip 'em, sure won't hurt Texas' attitude coming into this game.  Exact same thing happened before the 2006 Rose Bowl.

Steve Sarkisian: OSU 'Best Team in CFB,' Texas 'Massive Underdogs' in Cotton Bowl | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors | Bleacher Report

ESPN FPI gives Texas a 51% chance of winning.    The only prediction I have heard live was Booger McFarland- who picked the Horns.

a Spread of 5.5 (last time I checked) is no blowout.   But keep working it-- it is a good angle LOL.

"They're both big physical players," Sarkisian said. "They have length, they have speed, they have playmaking ability on the ball. They have really big catch radiuses. They've got the scheme to go with it, with Coach [Chip] Kelly and Coach [Ryan] Day, and they've got a quarterback who delivers on the ball. So you add all that up, these guys are impactful players that are real issues and we're going to have a hard time guarding 'em."

Tons of mediots picking Buckeyes in a blowout, it's all over the web, I don't really care to spend time to find links.  I know Colin Cowherd was one of them, but there's tons more.

Sarkisian pulling a Lou Holtz or not, the team that barely scraped past crappy B12 Arizona State is going to be hearing all about how they're unworthy to be on the same field as the mighty Buckeyes who've rolled Tennessee and Oregon so far.  8 straight days of that, just like the leadup to playing against USC's "Greatest College Football Team of All Time."

I don't disagree, after watching Texas' struggles in the post-season so far, I'd say that's a reasonable take, which is why it's so pervasive.

These are all factual statements, don't see any Lou Holtzing there.  Gonna have to try harder to get some cred on this one.

They are idiots.   Good news- I can assure you the Buckeyes are not buying any of it.     They know what they are up against.

I don't think any of that's going to matter, anyway.  Ohio State is a better football team right now, playing better football against teams that I believe are better opponents.

We simply aren't going to see the same Buckeye team that lost to Michigan.  If we do, it'll be an easy Texas win, but that's now how it's going to play out.

Easy there tiger.  Just having fun. If you can’t see the gamesmanship ( WHICH IS TOTALLY NORMAL FOR A COACH TO MOTIVATE HIS TEAM) in the “ I hope we can guard them” statement- then topic over.    Unless you believe that loaded with NFL talent team of his has no plan to cover the OSU WRs.

I think it's going to be the toughest assignment they've had all year.  Just look at recruiting rankings, NFL rosters, and NIL expenditure-- Ohio State is one of only a few teams that have MORE talent than Texas, but the Buckeyes DO have more talent than Texas.
