Oklahoma great Teddy Lehman says Texas’ best might not beat Kansas State

Teddy Lehman feels confident Kansas State beats Texas.

Teddy Lehman is back to his bold ways again this week. He had some interesting thoughts on the game between the No. 7 Texas Longhorns and the No. 23 Kansas State Wildcats.

Lehman shared the following thoughts about the game.

“You know, K-State, if I were them, and I know they’ve got some of this stuff in their package, they’re going to be able to neutralize that defensive line a bit. With the quarterback run game, it’s way easier to gain the edge and work the edges of the defense, and kind of get away from the teeth of what Texas does there at the inside backer and interior defensive line spot.”

His initial contention is fair save for the lack of downfield passing threat the Wildcats have displayed this season. Texas could clamp down on the run and short pass and give Kansas State difficulty. Nevertheless, he continued his thoughts on the matchup.

“I can’t, if we get the best of both, I don’t see how Texas can match up to K-State.”

Lehman’s co-host and former Oklahoma lineman Gabe Ikard pushed back asserting Texas would win at its best because it has the better, more talented football team. Lehman still held firm.

You can’t fault the podcaster for going bold. If you consistently pick against Texas, at some point you’ll be right. Perhaps the Longhorns’ second Kansas opponent will come through for him.

Texas will look to avoid the upset on national television against Kansas State at 11 a.m. CT on Fox.
