November 21, 20187 yr The point spread isn't designed to be a true representation of how much better one team is than another. It is designed to attract an equal amount of money on both teams so that the sportsbooks are guaranteed a profit. https://www.thoughtco.com/how-the-point-spread-is-made-3116858Jeebus, not this shit again. Thanks for your unique and original perspective, genius.

November 21, 20187 yr That's highly debatable. Brooks is plenty good, as his 82-811-11 stats testify.The Oline and scheme gives Brooks a massive advantage. He basically runs through wide open holes before he gets touched. He was their 4th back for a reason.

He was their 4th back for a reason. I don't give a shit about OL and scheme, the mother fucker is averaging nearly 10 yards a pop. He was 4th team, because Anderson and Sermon are fucking bad ass players. Why aren't the other backs averaging 10 yards a rush if Brooks is so bad?

We have our best passing offense since Colt. We aren't shelving that.
November 22, 20187 yr Best case scenario is that Texas cam ram the ball down Kansas' throat with Ingram/Watson and avoid too many QB runs/throws and he barely plays the second half with Shane getting a lot of the 3Q and part of the 4Q, and maybe even Rising gets 1-2 series of garbage time.

There. Now it sounds more believable.

It will be a 2 score game into the 4th quarter
November 22, 20187 yr Run it down their throat in the second half AFTER we've built a big enough lead. A ball control, clock eating style of play limits the number of possessions per team which is always to the benefit of the heavy underdog

Plus it's Kansas. The worst case scenario is actually losing the game, which I also think is quite plausible if they turn the ball over.

A ball control, clock eating style of play limits the number of possessions per team which is always to the benefit of the heavy underdog I agree with this entirely if Sam is very healthy and coaching staff feels confident about this issue. The scenario I posted above was much more about a best case scenario within the context of protecting Sam from a higher chance of injury in game if it's a real concern. If the team is confident about Sam, go ahead and go all out.
November 23, 20187 yr Thing is, a win over Kansas is critical for this over-achieving Texas team. Win, and play for the B12 Championship, plus 9 regular season victories. Lose, and play in a mid-level bowl at 8-4 - good season, considering recent past Texas seasons, but not playing for a championship. If Ehlinger can go, play him. Hopefully, the Horns get a big scoreboard early so we can play Shane and rest up Ssm.
November 23, 20187 yr Y'all a buncha god damned worry-warts. History repeats, and Kansas isn't due to beat us again until 2094. 1-0

November 23, 20187 yr Best case scenario is Kansas forfeits.Fuck that noise. I enjoy watching the Texas Longhorns play too much.
November 23, 20187 yr If that team gives a shit about its coach at all, I'm sure Kansas will give us a handful today.

November 23, 20187 yr Just now able to tune back in since the half, but he looked like his shoulder was affecting him in Qs 1&2.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone can argue he was 100%. This is by far the most "off" he's been all year. If he doesn't get stronger by next week we're in trouble better competition.

November 23, 20187 yr Shoulder probably hurt some, but the wind and a week of no practice plus a short week could have contributed to his poor play.

Guys like Cam Newton and Tim Tebow padded their stats with goal-line carries. VY didn't have to because we had Cedric Benson one year and Henry Melton the goalline bruiser the following season.
