The Texas Longhorns and Alabama Crimson Tide are set to meet in what could be the game of the year in 2023. Last season’s bout produced one of the more compelling performances of the year as the Longhorns nearly pulled off an upset victory without their starting quarterback.
On3 Sports’ J.D. PicKell met with Bama Online’s Tim Watts and Inside Texas’ Bobby Burton to discuss this year’s matchup. Both sides shed light on which team could have the upper hand in the game.
For Texas, Bobby Burton made it clear that the team can’t take anything for granted. The Longhorns’ chance of an upset bid begin with making good decisions and protecting the football. Burton said the following on the team’s slim margin for error.
“I think the most important stat line is going to be no turnovers. You can’t go into Tuscaloosa and turn the ball over early in the game and expect to mount any kind of comeback.”
Let’s break down a few of the takeaways from the discussion.
