September 16, 20241 yr My guess is that Vegas thinks ULM won't be able to sustain drives and score much. That, combined with the fact that Texas is likely to air it out because 1) getting Arch live reps and 2) lessen the burden on the decimated RB room. If ULM can't rush the passer, Texas with all the WR talent will score quickly and often.

September 16, 20241 yr I actually came across ULM’s opener on ESPN+ against Jackson State. It was on that opening Thursday so there weren’t a ton of games on. Bottom line is they are awful and fail the eyeball test on pretty much every level. They can pretty much only run the ball (Booty has 30 pass attempts through 2 games). They gained less than 300 yards against UAB and had just a little over 300 yards against FCS Jackson State. The UAB game turned lopsided because of 3 turnovers and Trent Dilfer being a terrible football coach. They are worse than UTSA, I don’t care what the record says. I was trying to think back to another Texas opponent that could compare and the infamous 2013 New Mexico State opener came to mind. Played just about the worst game possible and still won 56-7. Let’s just plan on not having a 14-7 lead at halftime like that game please. Edited September 16, 20241 yr by Hookem2147
