Who cares if you beat Texas, just please don't cheat your way to it.. Dirt ball.

Reed matched up well with Long in the Gator Bowl and didn't allow any sacks. In my opinion, I would say the match up between Reed and Orakpo will be very similar to that of Reed and Long!

Take a step back and be honest with yourself... there have been SEVERAL opposing coaches who have complained to the point of being fined by the Big 12. MAKING YOUR POINT IS ONE THING... BUT TO GO ON ABOUT IT TO THE POINT OF PAYING SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FINES??? My most vivid memory was when Vince and the horns needed SEVERAL bad calls to beat Kansas the year they won the national championship. (27-23) Gator bait, the only home cooking I can remember was for u.t.

If they gave up 35 last year, I think they will give up 28 this year and score about 42. Texas should win barring any home cooking and of course the dreaded cheap shot knee injury that they are infamous for. Is it really necessary? The Horns have surprised me all year.

America has seen and knows how good Orakpo is and he is damn good.. But Rylan Reed is also first round NFL talent and a bad ass.. Anyone who paid attention to the Gator bowl knows how he dominated Chris Long. To me this individual matchup is even... Tech's whole offensive line is awesome as well. Tech will score quite a few points in this game... I think the biggest key is how much can the much improved Tech defense holds down Texas.. just 2-3 key stops would be huge!! and I think that is very attainable and mix in a few turnovers to boot. good points LJE and Anthony..

He is still going to tear it up! Tech's O-line will dominate the 'Horns up front. Harrell will be able to pick and choose receivers all night long. Blitz Harrell all night long!
