LOL@ GameDay, WTF?? I couldn't believe it, at first I thought it was a joke. God this team better come out FIRED UP. Sunday night, ABC, against a bluest of blood opponent. I can't wait to see our offense come out. I wouldn't be upset if we didn't attempt a forward pass and just rammed it down their throats to start the game. Our running game should be dank.

You don't think maybe we are being over confident? Our best game last year was Texas and their worst was Us. They have a strong defense.. We have an unproven offensive line.. I think this game is a slugfest that we win, but I don't think people are crazy for taking the home team

It's not even our O line that worries me. It's our DB's if they spread us out and IIRC their RB's are like 250 lbs.

Not sure what that diarrhea was, so had to watch on mute. Time to fire up the PTHF videos and the icon clips.

Your fears are real because we have BVG.

This is reassuring going into tonight.

Kelly, though not giving away the details, has repeatedly expressed confidence that the logistical and schematic holes in applying VanGorder’s scheme against uptempo offenses have been solved.

“We’ve been going through a lot of scenarios in practice,” Crawford offered, “lining up quick, getting set, field calls, and also conditioning after practice — doing a few more gassers, just to be ready for the tempo.”

So, how good should I expect Crawford to be out of the gate? He seems to be one of the more hyped debuts in recent memory. I'm really excited to see what this defense looks like.

I expect us to come out tonight and dominate with the run game and screen routes short yardage throws that can get big yards. I think on defense you will see bvg throw a bunch of different blitz packages at their freshman QB to confuse him. The one thing that scares me the most is the safety's giving up the big plays.

My only concern is ....we come out flat and spot them 14 points. Kelly better get his sh!t together this year and get this team pissed off from the get go and stop all this half -asss first qtr effort.

Time to kick some texas ass!!!!!

Don't expect too much,... Dion Sanders at his height should do it.

Austin is such an awesome city, especially if you're a college student with all the bars on 6th street. Only problem is that there are homeless people everywhere downtown.

Homeless people are such a buzzkill. Wish they'd get their shit together, especially when I'm trying to have a good time.

Accordingly to ESPN's ''power index'', Texas have a 57% chance of winning the game tonight. In other words: They have a team that lost to Notre Dame 38-3 last year as the favorite.

Fuel.

And pretty much every gambling sharp is saying take Texas and the points. The consensus is that we aren't going to win, because Texas is at home with a talented team and experts think we take a step back losing all the NFL talent we did last year.

One player on each side of the ball I'm looking forward to seeing:

Offense: Q
Defense: Daelin Hayes

It's ridiculous. Texas has not proven anything...
