Common Man Prediction Thread – Alamo Bowl edition. Texas vs Washington

[Baron]

I have no prediction for this game. Penix scares the hell out me. On one hand I think if our pressure gets to him we can rattle him, then on the other hand dual threat QB's always give us fits.

Texas needs to have balanced offensive attack and eat clock to win this game.

 

[RunRickyRun]

Texas 45 UW 41

 

[Sugabread]

Tx 35.  Wash 21

 

[Billybass]

I’m going 31-17 Texas.

Defense has been playing better, and I believe Ewers, Sanders, Whittington will have big games

 

[NEOkHorn]

Expect Sark and the Horns to be happy and ready to play a bowl game after last year’s debacle. Plenty of Horns shining to generate a 48-24 win. Offensive player of the game: Worthy or Brooks, Defensive player of the game: Big Alfred or Barron.

Thinking both teams will try to win, but Texas pulls it out in the end. Will be close.  Will be interesting to see who steps up to be a leaders with but BRob and RoJo out on offense and Overshown out on defense.

Texas-- 48

Washington -- 45

 

[TB14]

38-35 Washington. Bad feeling about it. 

 

[tinman]

? 43-25 Huskies. 

 

[82Horn]

9-4 Texas continues to show growth

Texas 31 

Washington 19

 

[Baron]

I predict Washington holds off a Texas comeback and wins 27-20. Now give me my damn steak knives!

You have cheated. You will get no steak knives and you will like it.

@83Dee – Washington 39  Texas 32 (7 points)

@tinman – 43-25 Huskies. (8 points)

@TB14 – 38-35 Washington. Bad feeling about it. (3 points)

IMO, Tinman was a point over the point spread, but was somewhat closer to the actual score that Texas had.

83Dee nailed the point spread but was a little high on the scoring, as was TB14.

Since I hate math so much I'm going to award all three as winners. The steak knives are in the mail!

I know I'm just a dumb ol redneck but when I was in school 43-25 = 18, not 8. But what do I know?

You're right. I hate math.

I think you need to go with the Price Is Right rules. Go over and you bust. Closest from below wins.

They all lose then

Then you get to keep the steak knives. ?

I’m just glad I made the showcase showdown.

I’d like to donate my steak knives to the Longhorn NIL fund.  Kind of a penance for picking against the Horns.

Don't worry about that. I broke one of my superstitious cardinal rules, I wore Longhorn paraphernalia on game day. Sorry Longhorn nation.
