9/28 @ Iowa State - W, 10 days to prepare and a strong defensive effort allow Texas to shake the curse of Ames and come away with a comfortable win.
10/07 K State - W, another long week of preparation and a defense that dominates K-state's conservative attack leads to a win at home against the wizard in a relatively low scoring game.
10/14 OU and 10/21 OSU - L/L or W/L, The two toughest games remaining on the schedule. I could see us splitting these or losing both. Hopefully by this point the O-line has settled in a bit but I imagine the offense will still be too inconsistent and one dimensional to keep up with these two high powered teams. Much like the USC game, the defense will keep us in it and gives us a chance for a win. If we can avoid mistakes, I think we can beat one of these teams for a signature win.
10/28 @ BU - W, this one will feel more like playing the Baylor of old. They will be pretty beat down by this point in the season and I hope we crush them.
11/04 @ TCU - W/L, this one continues to be a toss up for me. We will know a lot more about each team as this game nears. If our defense continues to play lights out and we can figure out a consistent groove on offense, we leave Ft. Worth with a win. If we can't figure out the O-line and running game, a sputtering offense may not be enough to pull it off.
11/11 KU - W, Herman will push the right buttons and get the guys fired up to make up for last year. We should dominate this one.
11/18 @ WVU - W, Another game that will be easier to predict in a month, but if the defense can slow down the WVU offense, I think we put up plenty of points on the road to come away with the win.
11/24 Texas Tech - W, still without a defense we beat Texas Tech by slowing down their potent offense.
Conference record: 8-1 at best, 6-3 at worst
Overall record: 9-3 to 7-5 overall
