UTNMC has some valid points. Both coaching staffs are intelligent to pour over last year's UT vs tOSU tapes, and then pull out the UT/SC and OSU/ND tapes and see where the changes are. UT got a rude surprise at how well our kick return game was, so OSU can definitely expect them to plug that hole. Both coaching staffs are some of the best in the nation so a 'game scheme' won't be a problem for either.

UTNMC is terribly correct on that hot Texas sun. It's bloody hot. And as I recollect, as high as the UT stadium is, the sun should be crested (the field is in shade) by kick-off. However, it won't be as humid as Columbus at the same period, so that will be to our advantage. And, all the kids will have 'fresh legs' being so early in the season. So it'll be a great match-up. Our high-flying offense, versus the UT defense, which returns many starters. It looks like we've got a plethora of wide-outs, so maybe we just run two up the sides on fly patterns, and then substitute, and do it again, until we wear out those Texas DB's. I believe we have too many offensive weapons, both runners and wide-outs for Texas to handle.

I think we score more on Texas's defense then the young QB's of Texas do on our patchwork defense. Key is how well the Mighty Quinn and Patterson push back the OL of Texas, (if they can), or at least tie up two blockers each, allowing our LB's to blitz. If the QB's have time to throw, it's a different ballgame. DL vs. OL.

We repay the Texas visit to Columbus, OSU 34 - Texas 14.



Hey UTNMC, where in East Texas are you? I lived in Longview and worked in Lone Star for 5 years. You in Commerce? Or around Lake-O-the Pines?
