Most are 4 star recruits, but will they be ready in week 2 against a legit potential 1st overall pick? I am waiting to see how Texas comes out against Maryland...I think the public will be heavy on SC.
Thanks for the advice. Keep posting those value added links to good info! Cheers and Hook em' LHH
STOP........talking about the match-up!
........pause for a second while I re-introduce you to the BA Big Picture handicapping.....tough to understand (for those that haven't played or coached especially)
SEEMS LIKE.....you were one of the doubters going against the ol' BA last year...... Miami at App St.....maybe your buddy Vegas Jason joined in as well.......forgot about that idiot ha
"well hey wait a minute....they almost beat Tennessee away WTF.....they can handle Miami at home you're crazy!"
FLAW IN LOGIC HERE?......coaches can't get 100%+ effort EVERY game.......most importantly INTENSE preparation each day the week of the game?......2-3X / year?.....maybe 4 ?
*it took a great week of game prep + MAX effort vs the Vols.....to just stay close......what is the likelihood they're gonna do this again vs another NON-CONFERENCE opponent?......that REALLY needed a W?.....is the App St coach gonna risk injury to key players as well.....losing them for Sun Belt play?............
POINT: Horns vs USC........ most everybody (except me and now you).....will think both teams will be equally motivated....thinking about GAME DAY.....being fired up!
$$$$$ It ain't about game day.....it's about FOCUS and INTENSITY DURING PREPARATION.....USC is currently focused on TREE....they could care less about Texas (an average team since Colt got hurt basically).......TEXAS?....needs a STATEMENT win / strong effort here.....they're thinking USC NOW
*getting into Herman's head here a bit of course.....but his tremendous record as a dog suggests I'm right here
*he's calling his defensive coaches at 2AM....."man you gotta figure out a way to get to Darnold and take his F'IN head off!.....I wanna see his diick in the f'in dirt !"............
....then glances over at those DD's..................................................................
Match-up?.....of course should somewhat support the play.....but I will be looking to play Texas for sure....how did freakin' Houston match-up vs OU last year?.....I thought the Cougars were gonna get rolled....no way they stop that running game ha
$ value might be tough to come by is the problem.....unless Horns struggle early....Trojans roll....< hope so
If played at the end of last year?......raw numbers suggest 17 or more.....so 12-13' sounds about right.....?
*BetOnline opener 14?............................
