Texas with another blow to their depth. This time at WR, looks like one of the young pups are going to have to step up in his place(i.e. Ffrench, Lockett, or McCutcheon)

Good to have you back. What are your thoughts on your OL and if they're limping into this matchup?

OSU's interior DL is younger, but the edge rushers have some pretty decent experience. They lose their All B1G type leaders in Jack and JTT, but bring back more speed on the edge in Jackson, Curry and Hicks.

The LBs behind them are prettye xperienced in Styles and Reese.

At the moment, as far as starters go (haven't seen enough of the backups to have an informed opinion on depth):
RT: Worse
RG: Better
C: Worse
LG: Worse
LT: Better

So worse as a whole. Hope is it's a slight dropoff and not a big one, but we'll see.

Josh Pate made a point that this is like an NFL game, any score is possible. I tend to agree.

Can’t see the bucks lose after many tries.

Everything I read about our defence from coaches to players makes me very confident. DT depth is a question mark but LBs and safeties should make running on this D very difficult.

David Pollack emphatically claimed Texas D as the best in the nation. That may be true. But bucks offence should be right there. I think mistakes determine the final outcome. Crowd noise, oline play slightly favour Julian. If Hartline calls a good game, the result will be something like 31-17.

I’m pumped in the other side of the world about this game. The first 10 offensive snaps will tell us if Sayin is another Joe Burrow or Kyle.

Go bucks!

Heard that today and I just don’t get it. I’m sure they’re going to be good but how the fuck does anyone know this? Lost the Thorpe winner, lost their best safety, lost a starting LB, and lost 3 starting DL yet they’re the best? They aren’t even the best in their own conference (Alabama returns 8 starters).

This doesn’t seem promising for UT either.

Nope it doesn't. Goosby probably should've been starting all last year and did amazing when he came in. Think everyone was surprised.

Regardless, club-handed Goosby is better than whoever the hell is backing him up at this point. Maybe a freshman. I seriously don't know, they're getting moved around so much and I don't pay as much attention as I used to. Chatman (RS-SO) may be the backup, and he is solid but was recruited as a guard.

Your left tackle last year was a first rounder right? Big expectations for a new starter if so.

And if I were a betting man I would bet that no way are they going to limit JJ like they did last year.
