It will be hot at gametime. That only helps Texas if they have depth. I contend it will be a minimal factor. Texas will be stoked, but will make youthful errors. Texas will have to pound the middle to open up the passing game for Buechele, who will then need to be careful passing, even if the ND secondary is suspect. I am somewhat optimistic about the offense. The ND running game will also need to pound away at a questionable Texas DL who is bound to get gassed. I predict a tough, physical game with ND coming out on top and pulling away in the 4th quarter, winning by no more than 17, ahead by no more than 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Is this a complicated game to analyze?
