1. We have won 3 in a row in Austin. Their Stillwater record is not quite as relevant as it seems since we had a schedule anomaly where we played them in Austin 3 times in 4 years before last year - which we know we should've won.
2. What was RG3's record against us? This puppy is no RG3, but that's his style. We can scheme a guy like this.
3. We are on a five game winning streak. They are on a 0 game winning streak. Yes, some of those wins were ugly but a culture of winning is a strong intangible asset.
Finally, all the pundits who pick them are citing very shallow gut feeling reasons (ie. guesswork) or are citing our weak non-con schedule. HOWEVER.... one guy on Gameday said what after the UTSA game, I believe (hope?) to be true - That our weak non-con schedule allowed us to spend months game planning for Texas and preparing for the conference. I believe the plan is to make a statement today, and I think we will.
Our D is respectable and theirs is awful. Based on Indy's breakdown, I do not expect them to sell out with sacked defensive fronts and run blitzes. I think our OL magically looks better as a result and we get some running lanes. No reason not to score 40+
Contain their qb. Just contain him. Don't bail him out by overrunning containment and he will do the rest. The guy is not an accurate passer. I would take Rudolph 10 times out of 10 over a guy that is a broken field "gamer."
