Yup, gritty game that a lot of other Texas teams over the past decade would have lost.

Their QB, Frank Harris, was incredibly impressive.  Crazily elusive and smart, still able to make sure throws when whilst on the run.  And the receivers were very sure-handed.

I would have been glad to get out with a 1-point win but it was also nice to see the Horns respond with force and open up the game.  UTSA scored their last TD with 9 minutes left in the second, after that it was a Texas 27-3 ballgame, so it was more than just a matter of their athletes wearing down while ours didn't.  The Texas defense went from bend-and-break, to bend-but-don't-break, to attack and create havoc, over the course of 60 minutes.

Texas Tech and UTSA look very much alike in the offensive attack so UT wont be shell shocked when they see it

TT does not have as good a QB or defense however so I look for a UT win

Texas is only favored by 4.5 pts so Vegas thinks it will be a dogfight

I dont share that opinion

I think a lot of Vegas is still the bettors trying to convince themselves that this is a different Texas team - one that won't show promise of what could be, but then lose their nerve when the pressure builds. Frankly, I still share their skepticism.
My daughter texted me that DKR went dead silent after the UTSA onside kick and double pass to make the score 17-7. I reminded her that Texas fans were collapsing into the same trauma abuse mentality that's defined the last decade (or more). Fortunately, the team isn't that team any longer. They got off the deck, the coaches used the data they had and changed the plan, and altered the outcome.

Ive watched TT play twice this year

They have a good passing attack and the normal rushing attack which is weak

The key to beating them is ball control and we have plenty of that

we have a much better pass defense then last year

the longer we keep them on defense the better chance of winning so I look for us to have two backs gaining over 100 yards each

Im assuming Card will be near 100% if not then we will have a problem

I'm definitely not assuming Card will be anywhere close to 100%,  he was having trouble just walking by the end of the game.  This looks to be a nagging injury that's going to last for a while.

Nothing like winning to take the pain away

I was a little surprised we didnt see out 3rd string QB play late in the 4th Qtr

last week

yeah me too.  I can only assume it means the coaches have about zero faith in him.  Which is a bad place to be, when you have lingering injuries to your #1 and #2.

Sure hope so.  With Card gimping around, I think we only have a slightly better than even chance at beating Texas Tech and West Virginia over the next 2 weeks.  And zero chance at beating OU the week after that.

Ewers was looking great before his injury.  Obviously just a part of one game that I saw, but he looks like he could really be something special.  

Weird that Texas QBs keep getting their shoulders injured against Bama.

Or is it?

Several sources are reporting the Ewers could start against Tech Saturday.

They also say our other two QBs are near 100%

If true that would be amazing

I'll be that guy and quote myself here.

My prediction, we won't beat West Virginia if we trot out Card on a gimpy leg again this week. 

But, here are some official-looking stats on an official-looking infographic from a guy on the internet that says Texas should win. I'd be delighted if he's correct.
