Week 3 Prediction Thread: Horns vs Trojans

[CoachEmUp64]

After a beat down of SJSU now we take on our first road test, against a really good football team. So how you boys think we will do?

Mine:
Calling a big upset here (even put money on it....)
UT 34-31

 

[Belldozer1]

I'm not sure if Texas can get consistent qb play yet. My gut is telling me that USC may take this one. Not because I think USC is that good but I'm not sure Texas has had time to start gelling under Herman. I think the SJSU game was good for Texas but USC will tell us more imo

 

[HornsRuleU]

USC does more than just take this one. They'll cover the 14 point spread. Or I'll be pleased to be wrong.

 

[ryan_sublett]

What the hell. I'll call the upset. 38-34. Texas runs the ball well, defense gets a couple turnovers, maybe a score. Shane starts, Sam takes over pretty quick.

USC coming off a big game against Stanford. Maybe Texas catches them off guard

 

[bubba2023]

Condoms 48-28. We get a late score to make it a 20 pt loss. Stock your liquor cabinets accordingly. It will be close to 9pm come halftime and you don't want to run out or realize you are going to have to deal with this sober until Monday.

 

[JonBinge]

56-17 Condoms

Sorry, we just aren't there yet.

 

[bubba2023]

56-17 Condoms

Sorry, we just aren't there yet.

17? You think we can make a FG?

 

[JonBinge]

17? You think we can make a FG?

Well now that's a great point. I'll revise. 56-14

 

[swVAHorn]

My brain says 56-31 SC
My heart says 49-37 Texas

 

[TexExSpur]

48-24 SC and yep...they finally knock down a FG, Texas would have to control the clock and run all over them to be in the game at the end.

 

[bubba2023]

Yeah like I said in the other thread it's going to take a where the F have these guys been performance out of the DL and OL to win. Similar to the 2015 OU game. I'll gladly eat crow if that happens but I am not predicting anomalies.

 

[oldhorn2]

bullshit.....gonna channel my inner James Brown. We are 17.5 dogs?....

Texas 48 - 30

 

[principal]

USC, a whole bunch of points, Texas, very few points !

 

[hookem777]

TH has the boys ready. Chris Warren makes Some but not a lot of Heisman noise. Run game strong with 2 Texas INT and 1 special teams td.

TX 31
USC 21

Take it to the bank . It's going to happen !

\m/ \m/

 

[Iitbhorn3]

41-38 Texas!

 

[tlra2]

First SC Sellout in years. The are using their "vacated" loss as extra motivation .... to much to early - 42-24 the bad guys.

 

[ryan_sublett]

Herman could actually use this win. Not that he's on the hot seat but it would certainly extend the honeymoon and get dome recruits attention.

A football coach could use a win at a program that has had 3 losing seasons in a row? Such insight.

 

[UTGrad87]

41 to 28 Profalatics.

Not all wins are created equal. Even when Texas is "down" they are expected to beat the Iowa states and Kansas of the world. If Herman can pull off a couple "shockers" it sends a signal to fans, recruits, etc they are headed in the right direction. Maybe recruits start to give Texas a 2nd look(or a first look in some cases)

 

[weevilcatch]

38-13 USC

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

The kool-aid is still fairly strong with some of you. I like & respect that BUT, have yer supplies ready to make trash can punch out of it because it's going to be a forgettable night.

UT 21
Wooden horse riding contraceptives 51

 

[nvEERs]

I think you guys win this game, just my gut telling me

 

[q1w2e3]

USC 34-17

 

[TexExSpur]

Not a chance, Mudhole cometh.

 

[outhereincali]

It's Deja Vu all over again

UT41
SC 38

 

[TexExSpur]

Too much kook-aid being passed around.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

Too much kook-aid being passed around.

I must not know what Kool-Aid means because I see way more post about USC taking it to us than the opposite.

 

[TexExSpur]

Kook-aid not kool-aid.


They're going in dry and it's gonna hurt!

 

[LongfellowDrew]

Kook-aid not kool-aid.

Let us dream!

 

[swVAHorn]

Kook-aid not kool-aid.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??!!

 

[gordo107]

USC 42 - UT 28

 

[LonghornMM]

SC is going to roll Texas.

 

[gordo107]

Yea MM, the more I think on it.
USC 42 - UT 20

Sure as hell hope I'm wrong.

 

[cwillfromdatx]

The game depends on a few things. 1) who starts at QB. If it's shane, we will be fairly ok. If it's the fish, I expect 2 int's from him. 2) better start Warren and play him a lot. 3) need to see better Dline play (get out of the 3 down linemen). 4) play Hemphill on the return team. If we do all of those things, we win.
45-38 UT for the upset.
49-21 USC win if we don't do those 4 things
