Maybe that will be a no play for me then with Arky. You'd have to think OU will bring it against Tech after that loss last year. Also I agree with you Cam. WV might not even score that much if Texas controls the clock running

Bailey and Austin can run away from that secondary. Yes WV D is terrible and it should be a shootout.

Why do you think WV scheduled how they did? Get that Offense off to a great start and firing on all cylinders heading into their first road game in the Big 12 against a supposed solid D(it's alright, nothing special). They set themselves up to be very confident heading into this game. I see this being a close game and coming down to a late stop if anyone can get it.

Prediction:
Texas 40
WV 44





Do you not put any stock into the fact that Texas could have been looking ahead to this game? OSU has a great scheme and is designed to put up those kind of points. Also, in the Ole Miss game you realize Texas was up 35-10 at half and was up 45-17 before Ole Miss scored their final 2 TDs.

Diaz's scheme is designed to stop the pass. That's why they brought him in to face the Big 12 passing offenses. This is the 2nd year of being in his scheme too, which is very different from Muschamp's which is why I think they struggled at times last season. Look at UGA the past 2 years. In year 1 of switching to Grantham's 3-4 they struggled, then in year 2 they were a top 5/10 defense. I don't think WVU will get enough possessions to put up the kind of points they will need.

To each his own I guess.

hey hook , lets be honest and break down this texas game... i had my big play on texas last week.... we know that noone is going to stop Geno and holgerson... part of it is 1. geno is very solid QB 2. the probably have the best WR's in the nation, 3 Holgerson is just a offensive mastermind..... with that said  Texas struggle last week was on the ground as they are alittle hurt at DT...We WV doesnt have a ground game...so i feel if texas can matchup with WV very well with their secondary, contain the scramble of geno with the 2 de's...

Geno Smith had all day to pass against Baylor. Baylor's D could possibly be one of the worst D's in the country. They couldn't even stop UL Monroe. On the flipside Texas has a stout defense. They have a decent secondary and a great D line. Geno won't have all day to pass against Texas, he also might not have that much time being on the field if Texas runs the ball and controls the clock. Lot of hype about Texas's D and I believe they possibly could have been looking ahead past Okie St for this game against WV. Like the new offense and defense they are playing as well

KANSAS ST -24.5-- if they want they can name the score
OKLAHOMA -4--- not touching this.... 
NOTRE DAME -13---
BUCKEYES -5
LSU -3--- not so flashy so far... but being honest if they had looked like the steam roller they suppossed to this could have been a DD spread ... i dont see them losing until their date with Bama
ARKANSAS +10-- not in a million years--- Arky is officially in S:O;S mode in complee disaray and quitting, they just sleep walk throw the games.... i know auburn its garbage also..but at least they are being sloppy for different circumstances and not for lack of motivation or  leadership


Definitely wont play all of these but these are just the games I like at first glance. Will take a deeper look into them later tonight or tomorrow. Also like the Giants tonight on SNF. Tough first couple weeks but like we always say its's a long season. Hope to get it rolling this week. I let some idiot get the best of me last night and totally forgot what was important here. Lets get back to talking football and ignore all the nonsense and fools on this site. 



THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS WELCOME




BOL EVERYONE

yeah better stay away ---

the only pick that concerns me there is Texas... just because they have OU on deck ..... i just hope they can be 100% focused for 60 mins WVGA will try obviously to out score them to win ... but Texas will be the most physicall team theyve met so far in the season...and i hope the horns try to limit geno by pounding it and chewing tons of clock...if the horns get in to a track meet with wvga just like vs okst there will be trouble because wvga is a veteran squad with tons of weapons
