Agreed. I don't get the logic behind such a high spread. I was thinking it'd be 3.5 to 4.5.

I’d be way more confident if TAMU had throttled Kentucky. After getting embarrassed on their home field, they will be out for blood.

Marcel Reed has owned Blake Baker’s D, and it’s clear to me that the defense is worse this year than last. Just not the same NFL talent that we had last year especially in the secondary.

This game is really an elimination game for the playoffs. Whoever loses is out. No doubt in my mind

Kiffin is 13 and 26 life-time against top 25 teams. That's 33.33 percent so looks like a one in three chance for a win.

If Leavitt can calm down, we cruise.

If we see a repeat of last night? 50/50 game.

I feel like everything points toward us being better, but I have Reed vs Baker PTSD so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Elko is the the better coach.

Baker can’t stop a running QB

Idk what Vegas is thinking

I think the defense bounces back because they played the best QB they’ll see all season and even had success against him at times. Offense is a question mark. Leavitt needs to make better decisions.

I'm optimistic but gotta stop the running qb. We force them to throw they're going to make mistakes. It's also big it's a home game. I'm also scared about the consistency on offense without green out there. We need some receivers to step up. Of course Leavitt has to step up too.

I’m not confident any game with this offense not having green.

Run the damn ball. Thats it. A good running game is a QB best friend. We have a good RB need to start out setting the tone and then let our QB make some plays. They need to work with leavitt on making plays while scrambling. Still looking to pass first. He did it the one time he had to on 3rd down and it worked out. He could have done it in the 4th on first down and instead forced the run and we wound up not scoring.

Good point.
As bad as we played it was mostly defensively in the first half. And even up until 3rd down we weee doing very well. Trinidad is probably going to win the heisman so there’s hope that maybe the defense is actually pretty good (being at home will help for sure) and can do better against a mediocre Reed.

I’m confident Blake Baker is clueless at stopping a dual threat QB. Leavitt needs to learn how to pass so he can be a dual threat QB
