Predict the Schedule – 2023

Plus, you may want to add a loss in there just because Big 12 refs. They will not be kind to us next year.

We need to blow everyone out as best we can.   Close games and close calls will not be kind to us.

Vegas put the total at 9.5 for blowU as well.

KFord has them at 9.56 wins. One big difference between us and them is the non-conference schedule - they play SMU where we play Bama.

As long as Dillon Gabriel is the QB, ou will not get to 10 wins. Some speed on the outside, some nice defensive improvements. But they aren't there yet.

That's why I posted. A positive expectation of D Gabriel flies in the face of everything most fans expect.

[TB14]

9-3. Losses to Bama, OU, and TCU.

[tejasrulz]

I think we go undefeated every year. So far I've nailed that prediction 3 times in my life.

What the h3ll guys, why are you capitalizing ou? Are you brand new Texas fans?

They're woke.

Penciling in a loss to ou is tough for me to do. I mean, come on. 49-0 to losing in just a year, with our roster being better?

We probably won't score 49 points but we will win by at least two TDs.

Beating ou will depend on Gaberil if he is healthy and plays whole game they will be tough.

He's a yah-yah sisterhood of the traveling pants kind of player. He's okay when things are working perfectly. When the wheels fall off even a little, however, he is a liability.

Even OU's TFB side thinks OU's offense will be dramatically better when Gabriel leaves.

FIFY

[Eastexhorn]

You all might think Gaberiel is not much of  QB. If I was a betting man I wouldlay odds his stats are better than you know who. This is for last season.

I second Big Daddy Cane's point in saying it never plays out the way it shows on paper, and I absolutely will not get sucked into drinking the koolaid until I see us win games we're supposed to win. 

Rice – W

Bama – L

Wyoming – W

Baylor – L

Kansas – W

Oklahoma – W

Houston – W

BYU – W

K-State – L

TCU – L

Iowa State – W

Tech – W

Prediction: 8-4. Hope they prove me wrong. 

Agreed, we are a 7-8 win team until proven otherwise

Last year might’ve been the worst OU team I’ve seen. 

[MBHORNSFAN]

10-2 is my minimum expectation and winning the Big 12 to go 11-2.  Anything less is failure. If Sark cannot win with this roster he won't make it here.

 that would mean ouSux is up to a 35 point improvement over our team's improvement. I expect to see Wright in mop up duty. The only way it becomes a 2 TD game is if their starters are still playing in the 4th quarter against our walk ons. 63-28 and their side is empty (except for those who fell asleep or passed out) by the 3rd quarter.

I think the potential talent on this roster is too young to be a contender for the NC. I think it's good enough to challenge the Big 12 title now. In 2-3 years when they are juniors and seniors that will tell me if Sark is the man or not for this job.

[Eastexhorn]

Just general thoughts. Big majority of team is Sarks recruits. One excuse gone

How long will Team is too young be used.

Big 12 is down this year. If no winning season this year then it will be worse in SEC. No kool ade, but might eat a little rainbow stew.

Who is looking for excuses?                
One strawman gone

I would say until Horns putssome skins on the wall. And on excuses how soon so many of us forget.
