Texas SHOULD cover this line. The Aggies would need quite a few bounces to go their way for it not to happen.
Aggie has covered the last 3, and while this Aggie squad is the worst in yrs, they do have *some* talent holdover and will definitely be up for the game not to mention on 2 wks rest and prep.
Remember, the 2005 incredible Texas team with VY was a 28 pt fav against 5-5 Aggie yet Texas only won by 11 (40-29). Of course, that game was in College Station while this one's in Austin. The line will be pretty high because Texas is way better but by no means do I think this is a game to just blindly bet either side without taking many things into consideration.

There are some differences with the last 3 years though.
2005: Texas had everything to lose, a&m had nothing to lose. Not to mention, they trot out an option based attack, with a QB had not started one game in his life. Texas survives.
2006: Colt was not close to being healthy, the backup QB had already signed his transfer papers, so mack was not willing to play him, leaving the team without and offense.
2007: We had a defense that lacked any playmakers. Obviously there was some talent, but no one on that team stepped up and the defensive scheme was somwhat shaky.
2008: Team remembers the previous 2 losses. Realize a lot of the country will be watching the thanksgiving game on national TV. They also realize the only way to impress voters is to beat a&m by 40+. If Texas has head to head higher margin of victories against similar opponents, it should factor into something.
Oh, and Will Muschamp will not let aggie score more than 6 points.

Not when it comes to W&L, but they are in our fight song and we (in a perverse and rude way) are in theirs. And given that they are Aggy, everyone loves to beat em.

I'm just wondering why Majent became such a huge Big XII and OU fan all of a sudden. Is it because you're rooting for USC to backdoor it?
I've been a fan of OU since the first time I saw Jamelle Holieway run the wishbone triple-option in 1986. OU is my favorite team, USC is my 2nd. Always has been that way, always will be that way. I was just not as vocal about it before because I have not been much of a contributor to this site until recently. I only have 200 posts in the few years I've been registered here. I used to post at LVA (formerly FezziksPlace), but now I only post here.
