And maybe I am putting WAY too much stock into the 70 point showing this past weekend.
The Ole Miss game was a good one on both sides of the ball but the defense has been a bit of a let down this year. Manny Diaz was supposed to have this guys pitching shut outs.
Which way are you guys leaning with this game? |

Pretty much how I feel as well. I don't see why this line didn't open at -3 instead of -7. Scoring 70 on Baylor is no great shakes, but the media made it out to be Geno Smith's defining Heisman Trophy moment. Things won't come so easily against the Longhorns in Austin. |

#5 Posted: 10/2/2012 9:43:56 PM i'm looking at TEXAS as one of my plays this week...i am laughing at all this Geno Smith heisman talk.....Geno smith will crumble under the 1st real pressure he's faced all year..
texas' defense hasn't played great, but they'll get much more pressure on smith which will turn into TO's
no way i'd put my money behind Geno Smith

Cajun- As long as Ash can make some plays, I agree that WVU wont cover the WRs.

thats all ...

#18 Posted: 10/3/2012 12:51:44 PM Last year they jumped on LSU early if they do that to Texas it is over. Texas D also is not doing a good good of tackling in space which will be exploited by WV. |

LSU late year? did you even watch the game? the score had nothing to do with the game wass played wvu came back and had it to down 7 with all the momentum in the world and lsu ran that kick back. after that the crowd went dead and so did the team for the last half of 4th qr.
DID YOU SEE WHAT WVU DID TO CLEMSON LAST YEAR IN THE BOWL GAME???
WVU ML 5UAND.. WVU +7.5 10U
THANK ME LATER |

#23 Posted: 10/3/2012 3:14:54 PM Agree with most of the analysis on here. Everyone is too high on WVU but 7 pts is too many. Close game that WVU will most likely win outright. Even if Texas can get a few stops WVU will put up points. Not sure Texas can keep up with them |

#25 Posted: 10/3/2012 9:39:27 PM giving up 63 points and squeeking by Baylor at home is less than impressive....
this is wvu's first Big 12 conf. road game in a hostile environment at night...and oh, by the way, now G. Smith has the pressure of heisman talk floating in the head...
public is pounding wvu....
pick is clear to me....LONGHORNS |
