Bold predictions for Saturday’s game between Texas and BYU

Maalik Murphy might have a better game than we expect.

We are nearly to Texas game day, and the Longhorns probably have one objective on their minds. Style points don’t matter. Texas simply needs to win.

Winning by any margin will do for now. The team is without starting quarterback Quinn Ewers and has entered the part of the season where many of its key players are less than 100%. The next few weeks will be less than comfortable for the program, but that’s the nature of playing without your starting quarterback.

Last week we predicted the team would score 50 points. That just doesn’t look like how the Longhorns are going to win games this season. Nevertheless, they have been counted on to win tough games.

Here’s a look at our bold predictions for Saturday’s game.
