We know we are going to get Texas players best efforts and when that happens they usually exceed Vegas expectations. Charlie Strong likely let go after this game, but the players are not too happy. This is as big of a win one for the gipper situation that I remember seeing in a while. Here are some player quotes:
“Letting this man go is equivalent to losing a Father. He has done wonders for all the players on the team and we want him to continue that.”
“The main reason we came to UT was because of Coach Strong’s plan for us to succeed and become a better man, now y’all take him away.”
TCU, has had highs and lows this season, but have dramatically underperformed this year. Gary Patterson, just suffered his biggest loss at home in 13 years, he also went 0-2 ATS off byes this year he had been 13-0 ATS over his previous 13 so a lot going wrong for this team. Look I simply can’t trust Kenny Hill at QB for TCU, and their passing defense is a major issue which is something QB Shane Buechele and Texas are capable of taking advantage of in this offense. Texas has a very balanced offense and they should put up a ton of points in this one at least 40 in my opinion.


Boise State is not nearly as dominating as their record looks at 10-1. Really they have been lucky catching Oregon State and Washington State at the right time and even BYU whom they beat by 1 point were very lucky as BYU played without their best player in running back Jamaal Williams. This Boise team has lost 7 games on the road since 2013 and I just don’t buy into Bryan Harsin as a good coach. Air Force has beaten him the last two seasons, and now Boise State goes on the road to face this triple option again without two of their starting linebackers and they have already struggled to stop the run 4.46 ypc on the season and 5.33 ypc in conference play. That’s just unheard of. On the flip side Air Force still very under rated at stopping the run and that’s what Boise State relies on most with McNichols. Air Force may give up a ton of rushing yards in this game, but to lose by double digits the way they play and convert on third downs, 60% at home on the season. I just think Air Force is well coached, and Boise State’s coaching staff is over rated. Brett Rypien for instance seems to have digressed he had 109 yards passing 10-20 completion against UNLV last week who have given up 22 passing TD’s to just 5 interceptions on the season. Air Force should win the turnover margin here which will be enough to put them in position to win this game outright.
