OSU -7

Surprisingly high number. I’m seeing 6.5 to 7 opening. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t move down to 4-5 before game time.

Home game will allow many different cleats to be available.

Too soon?

They had better not out-cleat the Bucks on their home field.

We have the lowest spread and lowest implied odds of victory of the first 4 games (as you would expect of 8 v 9)

Pretty funny from the team account. Bucks get the Saturday prime time slot.

Other than the Vandy game, Nico Iamaleava has shit the bed in road games this season. Threw a whopping 1 TD in 3 games at Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Against P5 teams, he's been very mid, and on the road in this environment I think he shits the bed some more and they know that. Sampson going to get 30+ carries and I trust Knowles to be ready.

Welp, Day and Kelly used four quarters of football to see what does not work to gain yardage against an elite defensive line. Hopefully they don't need more time experimenting with constantly running up the middle.

On one hand I see the case for OSU at home at night (although they tend to not do so well in those OOC)

On the other hand I see an opponent with same kind of athletes and a coaching staff that gets two weeks to out game plan Day.

How good is the UT front 7?

Go turf! Earn some more stickers

It's just their strength.

Never too soon to get some traction with cleat jokes;-)

Not super aggressive, very similar to OSU - Pearce Jr is their stud, he went from 10 sacks last year to 7.5 this year. They do have another stud at CB in McCoy.

As a team, they only put up 29 sacks, which is lower than I would have expected.

 

[Gizmo]

Need to blow them out. Can't stand their fucking Rocky Top after every play.

Oh, no worries then.

Kreskin the Magnificent knows how to gameplan around the other team’s strengths.

It will be warmer at 4pm in Cbus and not so cold in Austin at 8, but player comfort has never been a priority in big time football, lol.
