I think WV is pretty fired up after a close loss to TCU. WV by 17.
3 + touchdowns. WV is pretty damd good.
WV by 10
I'm just being honest. I don't think WV is THAT great and the Longhorns have improved a bit. Mountaineers by 10 sounds reasonable to me
I don't go out of my way to hate or make stupid predictions, just callin em like I see em as usual
Mountainers 48-40 in an exciting fourth quarter
Texas in a upset yeah I said it if not this game they will beat okie and tcu.
I think this game will be determined by the play of Swoopes, he has to be more acurate with his short to intermediate passes. If he does not give his receivers a chance to make things happen after the catch, it will be to many 3 and outs. Also the OL must have a good game, need to run ball for more than 2 yards on first down. Defense will need to play well also, Hookem.
Swoops really needs his receivers to be more consistent. The dropped passes have really hurt this team at times this season. Hopefully we'll see more of the young receivers in there Sat. (Joe, Foreman & Leonard). Those three freshman have shown glimpses of what the future holds. They have speed and good hands. It would also be good to see a broader package of plays for Daje too. Getting him on the edge with screens and sweeps will help open up that WV defense.
I'm hopeful this will be a good game for the Horns. They need a bowl game. An additional two weeks of practice would do a lot of good. Plus, it'd be sad for the seniors to not make a bowl game.
Yes I will be really surprised if Daje is not more involved this week, would love to see him in the backfield on some flare or screen passes. He is a difference maker and he should be fully healthy this week, I do agree our receivers need to catch most all balls thrown their way however the passes need to be more acurate also. I am just hoping we come out fired up and ready to play 60 minutes, WV is a solid team however I think we can pull the upset. Hookem.
My understanding is that Texas lost another offensive lineman to injury so they are down to basically 6 lineman to finish out the year....I think this hurts our chances with WV as they do have a pretty good defense. I hope Charlie and company are really hitting the recruiting trail hard for Lineman!
Longhorns up 21-3 in 2nd qtr and running game is working
Texas is fighting for its bowl life today in Austin. They absolutely HAVE to have this win against the Mountaineers today, and then get a win against Okie State to become bowl eligible. Win this game NOW, and that sets the team up for a winning season in Charlie Strong's first year.....even after "cleaning house".
Looks like the Texas D has done the job today for Horns Nation. They not only showed up, they terrorized. That Longhorn power run game is the only way to go for this year's team. This game is OVER, folks. The Horns Nation will be celebrating bigtime tonite in Austin.
Texas 33
W. Va. 16

Hookem....
Missed the final three minutes of the game but recorded it
Only thing you missed was great defense and some pretty ugly offense in the second half, man this game should have been over early in the 4th quarter. WV stacked the LOS and made Swoopes beat them with his arm and that did not work for us, looks like ATM did the same thing as far as the second half. Hey but a win is a win, Hookem
