I'm really liking BYU. As bad as a spot it is playing at miss and Texas the next week to open the year they may be the better team imo.
BYU was easily double digits better at Mississippi today if anyone watched the game, they just killed themselves all day,,,first game of the year shit. Texas looks the same as last year. they may win and even cover here against rice but Gilbert is garbage and it all starts with the QB.
He went 11 for 20 on passes with no TDs against rice in the fourth quarter at home. He's gonna go down as the worst Texas QB in recent memory.
Texas D is, I'd say, very good but certainly not lights out. Hopefully the line will reflect a Texas "blowout" here and BYU barely getting by.
And lets put into perspective what oddsmakers think of Texas...they were 31 point faves at rice last year and only 23.5 at home this year. And I cant get the ucla beatdown out of my head that they gave Texas in Week 4 last year as 16-point dogs.
