Texpectations: Longhorn Superthread

Odd 14.5 spreads are popping up. I’m wonder if that is some insider information on injury availability

I would never give 14.5 points in this game. I've seen too many nailbiters when one team or the other was "just too strong this year to lose". I always expect a close game and am seldom disappointed. Both teams play with too much emotion to come out and lay an egg. To me, one of the greatest compliments to both programs is you never hear a lot of complaining about cheap shots. Yeah, an occasional bad penalty and sometimes a hurtful one but not a history of cheap shots like Colorado, etc. had for decades. Both teams play with class.

Money line is now ~85% chance of a Texas win.. that seems very aggressive in this game. I personally won’t do it, but the value seems to be on taking OU
 
The last time we were this big of an underdog to Texas was 1996, and as a 24-point underdog, pulled off the monumental upset in OT...and the head coach was John Blake.

Does it matter? Texas has the 2 best QBs in the game. Arch doesn’t read the field as well as Quinn, but his game lines up well vs OU. He is a great deep ball passer and CB is the biggest weakness on the OU defense

You want Quinn, @Codaxx. Quinn can carve up the OU defense if he's hot. Arch has only played high school football and some college football against WAF competition so if he's thrown into the fire early in the game Oklahoma has a crying chance of winning. Arch has never faced a D the quality of Oklahoma's. Arch will get there eventually with all the talent he has but for now your best QB by far is Quinn Ewers if he's healthy.

I guess you forgot that the Oregon quarterback beat your quarterback last year.

I definitely want Quinn. I am just saying Texas is going to have the QB advantage even if Arch plays. He does have 1 aspect of his game that is better than Quinn and it lines up with an OU weakness. That is the deep ball (wheels also)

Cool story, I am not very focused on history. I get why you are though. Part off it probably that you ran that guy off and screwed your season

It's not history when the guy is still playing. You said "Texas has the 2 best QBs in the game." which is a false statement unless you are a texas homer. DG has most all the passing records this year.
