Texas is getting exposed

[james4512]

i knew they were flawed, they havent really played anyone. Florida or bama pound them by 10+. Hop on that line early

[jjgold]

Texas can score though

Florida and Bama cannot

Would put a load on Texas

[3PtShooter]

no one plays d

[jjgold]

Texas will win title very very easy this year

JJ Gold?? Are you fukkin nuts??? I think the poster that started this thread was spot on!!! Rednecks like myself from Alabama actually recognize the SEC Championship as the Title Game. Reasoning is simple... Whoever wins that game everyyear that last 5 yrs or so has the best team in the nation.

No disrespect to you Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10, or whatever conference fans, but there is not a close second when it comes to strenghth of Conference.

no way, texas couldnt even score on oklahoma and florida and bama's defense are a lot stronger. A&M had a bunch of rookies in the secondary and most of them ran in the high 4.5s pretty embarressing it was that close

[StraitShooter]

I bet my ass on A&M last night

Oklahoma should have beat Texas if not for officials and 2 bad breaks

when a team takes advantage and intercepts McCoy instead of drop int..puts their best athlete on Shipley and has offensive power as Texas`s next two opponents will..Texas will fall

McCoy is one hell of an athlete though

[Mac4Lyfe]

A&M's secondary was awfully slow. LB's too. Plus there reaction time was poor. They waited for the receiver to catch the ball before they broke to it. UT is very vulnerable.

Anyone betting on UT will be throwing their money away IMO.

Agree 100%

play in end zone last night would have been 100 yard td int ret for A&M if DB was more instinctive

[HoulihansTX]

TX was just playing a good QB. QB's win games. TX has played nobodies the whole season, and finally playing a capable QB, showed what a talented QB can do to any D. If they make it to the National Championshit they will not have to worry about the QB's as they are not as good as Jerrod Johnson. Neither has the arm, or decision making abilities the he possesses. Tebow is getting exposed playing without Harvin, and Murphy. McElroy cant complete a pass if isn't a screen pass to Julio.

[james4512]

the only reason why they have the number 1 run defense is because the big 12 doesnt rush much and 90% of the time their winning so people dont run when their behind. Stats are so overrated

[mmike032]

no defense wins games.
gonna be a repeat of what happened to OU last year.

Houly, I must give you credit.. I have read several of your post and you are very sharp on college sports handicapping. That being said I feel that you are forgetting one important thing here.... Defense wins championships.. I don't think Texas will be able to score many points on Alabama or Florida, especially Alabama. If it is Alabama in the title game with Texas I don't like UT's chances. Alabama will run the ball down there throat and shorten and kill time of possesion for UT. Colt Mccoy is very talented, but the speed of an SEC defense will be shocking. Texas will be lucky to get 17 pts on Alabama. I like UT's chances better against Florida.

I concur with your opinion. I just didnt get my point across clearly. When TX plays one of the SEC teams they will not move the ball on Offense efficiently. Although their Defense will not be lit up either. Those SEC offense are not scary,and running the Ball on TX will prove difficult.

TX probably loses to the SEC in the Champ, but their D wont be the reason.

Both of you are spot on as well.

I know A&M has a good quarterback, but did you see some of that weak tackling UT players did on A&M's running game? A&M had many shocking runs... They ran thru Texas like water at times. I'm sorry, if it happens against A&M how can they stop a Mark Ingram or a TimTebow?? Mark Ingram is probably the best back in college with yards after contact. Probably the best college back period. Has racked up many yards against the SEC... The home of Defense.

^^^Are you serious? JJ is not as good as Tebow or McElroy. He just looked good last night because he was playing against a UT defense that is porous. JJ is from Humble where I've seen him play and he's no Vince Young nor a Tim Tebow.

Did you see him play Oklahoma or KState??? He was horrendous in both games against good but not great defenses. He still doesn't know when to pass or throw effectively. He has a good arm but his decision making is puzzling at times. You can't compare one game.

Texas can score though Florida and Bama cannot Would put a load on Texas

uh, did u watch the national championship last year?

[pavyracer]

Nebraska will destroy Texas. Remember Texas barely got by Oklahoma and Nebraska's defense is much better than Oklahoma.

[The Seer]

Texas offense '09 < Oklahoma offense '08

quite possibly worse beating by the SEC this year

[lyon804]

Exactly The SEC are freaking beasts. The other conferences would stack up well against the SEC if this was a spelling bee or math exam!! Most of the SEC athlletes are not scholars, but they are incredible athletes. Outside of Vandy, the other teams can recruit athletes and not worry about academic standards. Football is God in the south... Not academics. I know all this because I am in the South.. The great state of Alabama. Football players here are not expected or required to do anything academically

When is the last time you heard of a impact player becoming academically inelgible. Most of these guys are complete ghetto tools academically.

[The Seer]

Pavy, Nebraska can easily win that game

Nebraska would stack up better than Texas against an SEC school.

Wasn't A&M supposed to take care of that last night?

Dont tell me you think Florida, and Alabama are winning as a consequnce of great QB play. The only time TX A7M had a chance this year is when Jerrod had a great game. ALabama won a game this year with 4 FG's no TD's. Tebow got outplayed at home, by Mallett from Arkansas.

[SBR_John]

Texas will be fine. They came un prepared and un motivated. Their defense is good but over rated. The offense can play.

This game is a throw out for capping. They will be ready against a Neb team that was life & death with Iowa St. Texas will destroy Neb imo. Probably no chance against Florida but Nebraska will finish the game with about the same amount of points as they started with.

[pavyracer]

This is my prediction for Texas - Nebraska.

24-20 Nebraska win.

[HoulihansTX]

This is my prediction for Texas - Nebraska. 24-20 Nebraska win.

So Nebraska offense is going to wake up against a vastly superior team... I don't see it.

What does QB play have to do with UF/Bama beating UT? Both teams play very conservative on offense and rely on their defenses. Both QB's manage the game effectively. Both teams shorten the game but control the time of possession. UT's offense would be totally shut down by either team. If you think UT had trouble with OU, wait until they play either SEC team. Then add both offenses which will smash UT in the mouth. UT is really not a physical team and it will show next week and in the bowl.

The Big12 is very down this year. They were over rated last year. Buy into the hype if you want but the defenses are not as good as last year AND the offenses are pretty bad across the league.

[Serbone]

I had A&M big, Texas will blow out Nebraska after sleepwalking thru the A&M game. But Texas will get pounded by FLA or ALA.

[pavyracer]

So Nebraska offense is going to wake up against a vastly superior team... I don't see it.

Who said Nebraska offense was going to score the points?

[Steeve]

John is right, Texas was not focused on A&M last night. No one took that game seriously, which is why they were able to score.

Nebraska won't have a chance against Texas. The Big 12 Championship is Mack's again.

I would rather see Texas face Florida for the BCS, but they will handle whoever they face. It will be a good game, just like the Rose Bowl a few years ago.

[HoulihansTX]

Who said Nebraska offense was going to score the points?

My mistake. Obviously your statementwas meant to be ambiguous as to how the team will score.

But I agree, Nebraska Offense is inept enough to have to rely on its Defense to score for them.

[pavyracer]

It will be a very close game like the Oklahoma games for both teams. In a close game I would always play the dog. Texas hasn't seen a defense like Nebraska all year.
