Delusional. We will be EXTREMELY lucky to escape with a win. UT must play a perfect game, especially on defense.

Yea okay.. if you think a MAX JOHNSON led offense beats Tennessee then you're delusional as you say.....

To think otherwise is silly. However, to chalk this up as an L is equally as silly. Our team showed massive improvement on the offensive side of the ball with Cooper back at C. And with the exception of the one long run, our Defense shut Rattled down hard and I would say he is a better QB that Max Johnson. I think it will be a hard fought game where our fans give us the edge and we pull away late to win by a couple of scores.


It would be nice to talk about it in a game thread...

Not saying A&M or their OL are world-beaters, but you're jumping past nuance pretty darn quick and jumping straight to conclusions. There's a reason Vegas has this game as basically a toss-up on a neutral field.

It's very possible that we're a legitimately solid football team that might also lose to A&M on Saturday. I think we beat them so I'm not predicting it, just saying that in a sport as crazy as college football it happens. The confidence on this board is going to give off the illusion that if we somehow lose it's a massive upset that's Heupel's fault, and it just isn't that simple.

SCAR would've been a massive upset, this would just be a tough loss.

Both A&M and UT offenses are averaging 36 points per game. We are giving up about 17 points per game and they are giving up about 19 points per game. It is likely to be a mid 20's to high teens type of score. Fans need to bring it and defense needs to get some turnovers to give the offense bonus possessions.

I hope the fans realize this is absolutely a toss-up game.

Only a couple games per year, if any at all, will likely be determined by the fans and how many mistakes we can force them into. A huge opportunity for the fans to see their impact on a game.

I hope the fans see this as an opportunity and are prepared to be more hostile than we have been yet this year. We need it to be crazier than Alabama '22, non-stop, all-game long. The fans may actually determine the winner.

TAMU will come in with a chip on their shoulder after losing to Bama, but we're at home. As long as we get the OL that played in the SCar game, I think we'll be fine. Cooper's return was huge. If we were on the road, I'd be more concerned, but we're not.

Yeah gave up 5 sacks to Bama. USCe gave up 9 sacks to UNC. Those ain’t the same. Bama is the most talented team in the country per team composite rankings.
