I don't know about this. Our team got a lot of rest in the second half on Saturday. May be the best warm up for Texas possible. Confidence is high, Breece is rested, let's go take care of business.

Texas being idle for two straight weeks is absolutely a huge advantage for the good guys, especially after absolutely piss stomping purple Kansas with minimal effort. We are going to roll into Austin with some serious swagger and confidence. These guys aren't going to see Texas on the front of their jerseys and crap themselves.
Scheme wise Texas is going to play a ton of man coverage and load the box. If Hall gets to the second level he will rip off some huge runs.

I will also say that right now, I like the confidence our WR's are playing with. We spread the ball out Saturday the best we ever have all year. I also loved what we did with Purdy. He probably had 6-7 roll outs where he took off on two of them and had big gains.
I won’t be in attendance this season like I was in 2018, so that is positive for everyone that wants the cyclones to win!
We won’t have to hear that stupid commercial over and over and over. I don’t remember the song but it was set in a bar.
They are going to put 8-9 players in the box on first down. The zone read by Purdy is going to be important again. I think we saw him take a step in the right direction on Saturday.
I think the combination of Breece’s breakout and more confidence in Dekkers behind Brock has (hopefully) gotten coaches more open to playing to that running nightmare Brock can give teams.
I flew down from Chicago to Austin for that game in 2018 And it completely sucked since we were dominated at Texas Memorial. The place was packed with 100k Texas fans all looking for blood. The crowd wanted Texas to win because they were tying to gain relevance in the conference again and little ol’ Iowa State happened to be in the way.
It felt like we were playing against a professional team. Its as intimidating a stadium environment I’ve ever been in.
But this year is different.
That 100K shrinks to 15K because of Covid restrictions, and that is HUGE. It negates the home field advantage they had in 2018. Not to mention we have a more mature QB, Breece Hall and better Oline play (as many have mentioned before).
I EXPECT TO WIN THIS GAME!

If they load the box then X is going to have a big game. Just wish we had Milton.
Those designed roll outs are a thing of beauty.
Do we know for sure that only 15K will be in there? Our game against okie st seemed like there were 30k in there
Love that this game is at 11 AM! ISU just needs to play loose and have some fun out there, honestly.
If ISU plays clean, I really like our odds. We're a bad match up for them if anything. We have such a mix of the run and pass game. O needs to keep things humming and get on the board right away.
The D knows what's coming, a scrambling QB. Our LB corp needs to have a hell of a game making SE's game tough.
No points allowed from Special Teams gaffes. Kick the ball out of bounds and punt the ball out of bounds.
The team is going to enjoy the moment, and play confident.

agreed.. I am ready to scream at the defensive holding from their DBs.
I had heard a rumor Milton would be back for Texas, but being that we haven’t heard a peep about him I’m leaning more now toward that just being a rumor.
