re: Why Texas Fans think they will win...

Seen a couple of interesting things here...my two cents:
1. It’s gonna hot in Austin...LSU players LIVE and PLAY EVERY DAY in a SWAMP. Really? The heats gonna be an issue? It’s not. This is dumb
2. UT has a bunch of new defensive starters...LSU has an entire new offense. This is probably a wash. Maybe slight advantage LSU just because offense knows where it’s going.
3. The Georgia game...completely irrelevant. We both beat Georgia. Neither of us is fielding the same team that beat Georgia.
4. SEC defenses can’t stop a big 12 offense...this might be true versus someone else. LSU has a bunch of hybrid type players that makes this not apply. Bama sometimes fields a fairly heavy team...3 years ago. This is something you could say when you play Auburn or Mississippi State. Not LSU.

The bottom line: there is no obvious advantage. Neither team has an obvious edge. Outside of homer stuff...it’s a toss up.
