The Texas D will keep them in this game.  They played lights out several weeks now, and the last two opponents were very potent offenses...Mizzou and KSU.  The intensity of this game being the last conference game between two bitter rivals will bring the best out in both, certainly the Texas D will be very game.

And I would be surprised if the game plan is shockingly more balanced for Texas between run/pass this week.  Aggie pass defense is very soft and not a real threat to force interceptions (last in Big12 in both pass yards and INTs).  Will Texas have success in the air?  Pretty much everyone does with Aggies; however, A&M is 2nd in the nation in forcing sacks.  This will be a huge problem for the young Texas QB's who get very uncomfortable with a rush.  And the Texas is o-line can power block, but pass blocking is a big weakness. 

Many don't realize just how bad the young QB's are missing Shipley.  He's the only Texas receiver that gets open on short and underneath routes.  Which is a security blanket for QB's getting pressured.  The void in the short to medium passing game is strongly noticeable without Jaxon.  Will he finally play this week after the passing game being absent along with his presence?  Not sure.  Would make a huge difference to combat the rush and move the chains.  Texas won't win the game solely on the ground as Aggies can play the run tough.

I see this as a close, physical game.  Aggies up 13-3 or so at half, and as many times before they let the opponent back in it in 2nd half.  As much as I'd love to see a Horns win, still feel Aggies will play the run very strong and be very effective with pressuring Texas QB's.  That being said, Horns will hang within the line.  Aggies 23-20...Horns cover. 

Shipley plays and Horns may get the upset.  FYI, it seems Case McCoy is starting with Ash entering in situational relief.  For several weeks they've been listing on the depth chart as Ash -OR- McCoy.  And Ash started those games with McCoy in relief.  This week it's reversed and listed as McCoy -OR- Ash.  It's not read that way before in Ash's starts. 

hey moron, so why is a team that 3-8 ats this season who has given up at least four DD 2nd half collapses, who's D is ranked at near the bottom of D1, a lock against Texas...

Granted, Texas QB's and deplorable...however, Texas D will limit the O production of Texas A&M...A&M may indeed win, but I can assure, even playing at home, an ATS cover is not a LOCK...

I really don't trust Ash to put up points.

I really don't trust A&M with any lead.

But, for some reason, the over is very tempting...

man i hear alot of texas offense sucks, but have you guys seent this texas a&m d?? just as bad. A&M only plays one half of football ball. They are pro for blowing leads in the second half.

close game

give me the points and TEXAS
