Texas 41, Oklahoma State 14

Fun tonight dividing time between watching Texas whip OK State and passing out candy to the little goblins. Got a few high school kids this year, but mainly little ones accompanied by their parents. Mr. B. and two of his friends went off in costume with Mrs. C. to canvas the neighbood and, as usual, came back with a disgraceful amount of candy. It will be stale by January, their eyes always bigger than their stomachs. Almost too old for this anymore, they are.

Texas vs. OK State

Posted on October 25, 2008 | Comments Off on Texas vs. OK State

In the last few years against the Longhorns, the Cowboys have jumped into the lead in the first half, then fallen apart in the second half. I suspect they will not even get that far in today’s game. Texas is just too good for them this year. That’s my prediction and I’m sticking to it, at least until the half. The only really tough game the Horns have left this season will be Texas Tech next weekend.

UPDATE: Well, I might be a little optimistic, with Texas up only 21-14 at the half. OK State is playing tougher than I expected, but it still would be unusual if they kept it up through the fourth quarter.

FINAL:  Whoa, that was close. Texas wins 28-24. By this standard, Tech will be tough, indeed.

Texas vs. Oklahoma State

This could be another fluid, high-scoring game, given OK State’s good passing game and the lack of a Texas passing defense worthy of the name. But if their pass-or-run QB tries much running, he will be shut down pretty quick by the superior Texas run defense. Burnt Orange Nation pretty much agrees, predicting a 38-21 Texas victory.

But this other OSU (as in Ohio State U.) has made it a habit in games of the past two years to jump out well ahead in the first half, then have their butts handed to them in the second half. This time, Texas, how about ending the first half ahead for a change? Or, maybe not, given that nail-biters make better theater. Not that it will matter to the BCS poll which seems determined to match up Louisville with Michigan or Ohio State. Wait and see.

UPDATE  Texas comes out strong, 20-3, and McCoy’s play is worth a Heisman look. Ends up with a Texas win, 36-10, McCoy sets a school record for TDs in a single season (and places second in NCAA record for a freshman QB), and now we wait to see if the BCS computers are impressed enough to move Texas up in the rankings. Looks to me, though, that unless Rutgers beats Louisville, the national championship game will be Louisville vs. Ohio State, and Texas an also-ran.
