Why would Holgorsen want to go to a group 5 school?

I didn't know Holgerson was once at Houston.

Okay, its time to make a prediction for this game. I've waited to now because anything can happen in the weeks leading up to the bowl.

Georgia lost their leading DB, so yeah, something changed. This should help the Texas passing game.

IMO, playing Georgia is like playing Bama. They're very similarly made, have similar schemes, and have a similar talent level. 

OU has created a blueprint for defeating this type of team. Hopefully, staff has noticed.

On the surface, one cringes at the thought of playing one of the SEC's top two teams in a bowl game. But on the other hand, TH and staff have a habit of playing up to their competition, . . of getting a team ready for a big game. Texas also has the incentive to launch next year's season now with a big time win over a big time program. This would send expectations for next year through the roof.

Georgia 34

Texas 32

Whaaat??? SHA, you just posted a classic conundrum. :blink: You can't even muster a Dicker field goal on the last play for the win??? You disappoint me Sir-wuss-a-lot. Surely your prediction is a typo.

The land thieves got shafted on that 2nd TD. The ball moved when he was on the white.

Either way, ou still sucks.

Yeah, but I willed it to be a TD.

UT 25 - 40 UGA 

 

[texbound]

UT 25 - 40 UGA 

I'm with Coot here, but I think it will be close early in the 4th qtr and the depth of UGA will be the difference.  I'm thinking something like 31-24 UGA in the 4th.

I have wondered if Manny was misused by Mack at UT. The guy is better than what his tenure at UT was. Glad to see him moving on up................even if it's at hated Miami.

Were going to win this game and well be back the following year to win it all!

 

[Sundancekid]

Gimme some of that burnt orange Kool aid. I think Texas wins but I am a homer as well.

Georgia ia a well built team, they are built like Alabama by a very good coach in Kirby Smart. They are where TEXAS wants to be..TEXAS will have to make every possession count. I just fear that Georgia may be too physical for TEXAS

HaHaHa. Is that why Georgia was complaining about Texas players’ physicality?

No Fear!  Hook ‘em!

 

[Eastexhorn]

Well I hope all the koolaid does not vanish by half time. In the back of my mind is a fear Texas will be like OU,

be beat in the first half. Hope for a win but realisticy do not expect one.

 

[java]

I want to see who actually will be playing as some players from both sides will have grade issues, opt out for draft, and of course there will be those that just cannot help themselves once they get to  Bourbon St and end up  being sent home for doing something stupid. 

From both sides?  I doubt it. CJ has never had grade issues and neither has LJ. Sam?  Hardly. 

I just don’t think it Herman will let players he counts on skip class and miss study sessions. 

Hook ‘em!

 

[aUTfan]

48-24 Georgia, Georgia has too many great players and is where Texas is trying to get, very similar to Nebraska/Texas game in 1996 big 12 championship. So I’m hoping for a similar outcome and not like the 1990 cotton bowl with Miami. If Texas plays an inspired game for 60 minutes they can pull off the upset ....   Texas is not supposed to win but this is why they play the game. 

 

[oldhorn2]

Perhaps Georgia is too tough....but no reason to think that way. We had no business in the RRS, but we brought it too em even though we let them back in the game.We had no business beating USC in 2006 Rose Bowl, but if we replayed that game 20 times we win it 20 times. So many times in our history ( yes, including 1996) we were expected to go quietly but showed that not only could we win, but in fact we were the better team. This is going to be one of those games.

Read that it will be a PAC 12 officiating crew calling tonight's game
