It’s prediction time. The No. 7 Texas Longhorns (6-1) have one of the more unpredictable matchups of the week against the BYU Cougars (5-2).
We expected the Longhorns to play an inspired four quarters of football coming out of the bye week against Houston. The last three quarters were uninspired.
Texas all but laid down after building a 21-0 lead. Getting off to a fast start seemed to be a focus for the team exiting the bye week. This week, they might have to play a strong four quarters to win.
We’re under no illusion that BYU is a national football powerhouse, but neither was Houston last week. And now more than ever it seems coaches can make close games out of lopsided matchups if they prioritize those games. You can expect the Cougars had this game circled.
Let’s predict that game and more.
