Texas should be favoring at least 10 points or so; But Why only 6.5 points....BUY usually playing close to their component....Texas wins by FG.

BYU + 7 or more

sorry man, but i cant understand a thing you are saying...i like texas here.  malcom brown in his first game averaged 5.6 yds pers carry.  i think they use him way more in this game, and that garrett gilbert is able to open up the passing game out of solid runs on first down.  i am a texas homer, but i just have a feeling texas' offense really comes alive this week.

like BYU if im getting 7 points... remember, this is going to be a low scoring game.. both offenses arent sharp enough yet under new schemes and cordinators.. 7 points in a low scoring game might as well be 10 points!

Texas 24 BYU 20

What running back doesn't avg atleast 5 yrd per carry against that vaunted Rice Owl defense?

Yes, obsiously your a Texas homer w/ that statement. BYU's D-line is big and physical. They knocked out 4 Ole Miss players out of the game last week. That being said, I like the UNDER.

good point, but dont over look the fact that it was his first game.  i guess i was more impressed by that.  still think texas' offense dominates for the first time in about 13 games........

Not to mention that most of Malcom's touches came in the 2H (when the Owl's defense was sucking wind).  I'm wondering if BYU's defense will provide enough pressure to cause mistakes by Texas.  Should be interesting.  I like the under as well.

Malcolm Brown is the first good back Texas has had since Charles. I don't care who he averaged that against. Texas finally has someone who can get the running game going again and in turn help Gilbert relax and finally make some good passes.

Texas gets into the top 25 by beating a weak Rice team. I watched the game and Texas aint shit. Byu goes on the road and beats a way better team in Mississippi. So sorry Longhorn fans no 2-0 record here and back to the cellar and out of the top 25 u go.

 

MORMONS +7

The Horns are still looking to bounce back after a sh*tty season last year to say the least.  First game against a "quality" opponent.  They didn't look good last week against Rice in the 1st half but came with it in the 2nd.  Second game in a row at home, DKRoyal will be rocking when the smoke comes outta the tunnel and will continue to be rowdy throughout the game.  Look for QB Gilbert to have a solid game while BYU is playing their second road game in a row.  Deep plays in the passing game (for a change) with the run game wearing BYU down in the second half.  Big home win for the horns.

Texas -7.5
