JohnnyFootball Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Texas Tech and MAYBE WVU are the only games I can see Texas winning. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 While I'm sure most will understand the point of this post, it IS a very legit question. Before last weekend, I kept telling myself that maybe we beat TT, WV, and Ok State (with Iowa State a given...but man, that was not a gimme by any means!) to at least become bowl eligible. However, after giving up 45 to Iowa State, I'm now wondering if we win another game myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 But the offense DID put up 48 on Iowa State after struggling most of the year. I think Texas will beat Tech who has even more issues right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 @ K-State - Loss @ Texas Tech - Winable, but not a sure fire win vs. West Virginia - Loss @ Oklahoma State - Loss vs. TCU - Loss  If Oklahoma State was at DKR, I would consider Texas winning just because those two teams play each other so oddly. Always close games when the Horns and Cowboys get together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The offense put up big numbers vs ISU but I won't be impressed unless they continue with their progression this week in Manhattan. Â Defensively, if they can get off the field on 3rd down and create a few turnovers it will help their biggest weakness, which is depth. Getting Jason Hall back from injury this week is a must. Â The rest of the schedule doesn't produce a gimme. KSU, TT, and OKST on the road will all be tough. WVU and TCU at home will the toughest of the 5 teaming games IMO.

I wouldn't expect a win in Manhattan. They are a very tough team who always plays well at home. But the team may move forward even in a loss. Â Texas Tech won't be too tough for Texas. They are just bad. And as people said, Ok St is always a weird game for Texas. I definitely think Bowl eligibility is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2point0 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We'll see one week at a time. There have been inconsistencies on both sides of the ball to date. I'm hoping for a bowl game but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I don't know how many more games Texas will win, but I fully expect them to be competitive in every game left on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I see going 7-5 they will get upset or two and a bowl win . They are good enough to wreck somebody season. Â What 4 games do you see them winning? Â And yes, this thread was slightly meant to poke fun, but I'm glad it's generating actual discussion.

JustAFan11 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Now that the truth about this thread has come out I'll give my real opinion. The game this weekend will determine the rest of the year. A win at KSU this weekend and they'll win 4 of the remaining 5 games. A loss with progression will result in no bowl game. Regardless of the rest of the season I believe Texas beats TCU on thanksgiving. Â I like where this team is going and how they're improving week to week.

I thought Texas would beat UCLA and OU, they were a stop on defense away from making me look smart. I like the progression of the team and love the fight they show every week. I know the team will play hard and won't roll over if they get down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2point0 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A lot of folks were scoffing at barely beating Iowa State. Mark Mangino is the off coordinator and has had success everywhere he's been. I watched them play Kansas state early season and it took a late TD for ksu to win it.

KirtFalcon Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm a big Longhorns fan, but the UT defense couldn't stop Garrison's JV .... at least they started Santos this past week and he was an improvement over Edmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the team will play hard and won't roll over if they get down. I've only seen KSU play Auburn (where they should have won) and OU (which they should have lost lol). As always, they are very well coached and are physical. Fun to watch but a nightmare to play against. But I could see Texas winning if they play well.
