Good write-up. If I'm being honest, I think this is a loss al la Oklahoma.
Up-tempo play seems to be our defense's kryptonite, so I think we will have a hard time stopping them from scoring. We can't seem to get any pressure on the QB, and Ewers will thrash our LB corps if given time.

On top of that, Texas has an excellent defense, especially in the front 7. Can Rocco punish their relatively "weak" corners? He's gonna have to, because I don't think our run game will put us in good positions.
