00:00It is your four under sark. It is your one in the sec. How does texas look to you today?

00:05Hi, you got to rely on quinn yours the quarterback that completed well over 65 percent of his passes a heisman trophy

00:12Front runner that we know about texas averaging well over 270

00:16Passing yards per game you bring in big play wide receiver isaiah bond from the alabama crimson tide

00:22And they're going to look to run the football both starting running backs are down there on their third string

00:26But I don't think it matters. They're going up today kev against the secondary that allowed 71

00:32Completion percentage against opposing quarterbacks and they do have michigan on deck, right? So you have to build that continuity

00:39I think when yours starts fast

00:40I think they put up a 50 spot on colorado state today

00:44And I think they poured on this line opened up at 35 and a half. It's down to 32 and a half

00:49We're seeing 31s as well. I think that's the difference. I'm willing to lay it in this matchup on the other way

00:55You know, it's it's interesting being on opposing sides of totals or spread is normal

01:01But on prompts is is a little bit new

01:04And I understand what you're saying the running back room has been banged up

01:07So it might be hard to just run out the clock and it is a fully new wide receiver room

01:13I think that could work in my favor on mike when you was under 282 and a half because this isn't ad mitchell and xavier worthy

01:19There could very well be some rhythm that has to be figured out between bond and bolden and everybody else that

01:24Is supposed to step up in replacement of those guys, but it's also just what i've seen from sark while at texas

01:31Yeah in six games against non-power competition

01:34His quarterbacks have never thrown for more than 260 yards the leading passer in those games because at times we've seen multiple quarterbacks

01:42Averages 194.2 yards per game over those six games in the last three years that sark has been the lead man at texas

01:51Add in michigan on deck instead of a you know

01:54Western michigan on deck and I have to go under on the quinn

01:57You were here based on the spot

01:58It'll also be interesting to see what the ground game looks like for texas

02:02They lost their best returning running back cj baxter in the offseason. He is out for the entirety of

02:092024 a lot of talent in that new wide receiver room with silas bolden the oregon state transfer isaiah bond

02:15Coming over from bamma and matthew golden who makes his way to texas as well

02:21But still some things to figure out quinn ewers was at his best

02:25Against ranked opponents a season ago in all five games that texas played against ranked foes quinn ewers threw for at least

02:34317 yards averaging better than 350 in those five matchups including a big 12 championship game record

02:41Against oklahoma state in terms of four first half passing touchdowns 10 tds to four interceptions

02:47Against those five ranked foes now the rams from csu are not a ranked opponent, but they are a good offense

02:54You got braden fowler

02:55Nicolosi back as the quarterback and his top returning wide receiver in tory horton both guys

03:01Joe, very transparent throughout this offseason a lot of transfer portal rumors trying to poach those guys

03:08From colorado springs. They stay loyal to jay norvell. You look at fowler

03:13Nicolosi more than 3400 passing yards last year tied for 16th most in the country was a little bit

03:19careless with the football 16 interceptions, but 22 touchdowns and tory horton

03:251136 receiving yards. He had 81 in all three of the non-conference games. The rams played a season ago

03:32I believe like you we're going to see some points here in this game, by the way spread now working back to texas

03:3834 and a half closer to five touchdowns and up a little bit for the over under 60 and a hook now

03:43Yeah, and texas did struggle. Let's not forget. So nicolosi can maybe move the football texas allowed

03:50254 passing yards to opposing quarterbacks run support was the strength 82 rushing yards allowed only 2.8 yards per carry

03:58But we know about the losses in regards to the front seven if they can't get pressure early could lead to points

04:03But I still lean to texas and the overbend again just to

04:07Mention this spot no spoiler next week's game. We haven't even talked about this. It will be michigan texas

04:13Yeah, both teams with turnover not this i'll say this nobody feels like it's it's comparable levels of turnover

04:19Probably other than me because of the type of players that texas lost. It's not just

04:26Xavier worthy and ad mitchell are so difficult when you lose multiple first round picks at the wide receiver position

04:33That's difficult. We've talked about it at nauseam with what lsu has lost

04:36I feel it doesn't get mentioned as much with texas and then again sweat and murphy you could not run the ball on texas last year

04:44Well again now i'm doing the breakdown for the michigan game next week

04:47But it's just man it's going to be really interesting to see how these two teams approach today's game
