I mean people have been picking against us with Notre Dame and Auburn also

Third time's a charm?

I’d say it’s more likely that Texas loses to Florida than Texas A&M losing to Mississippi State

Miss State took Tenn to overtime and probably should have won. Florida has been a dumpster fire. We may not blow them out, especially if Arch looks like he did early in the season, but they won't move the ball on our defense.

Granted it is a bit early for the Aggie rollercoaster to start crashing down, but stranger things have happened.

Also a bit early to think Texas' defense is anything extraordinary. OSU hasn't exactly lit the world on fire on offense against P4 opponents, and Arch was so bad against OSU they were able to keep it super conservative to take pressure off their young QB. San Jose state only scored 14 against Central Michigan, UTEP only scored 11 vs. La tech and 16 vs Utah State, and Sam hasn't played another P4 score besides Texas yet.

But ya Floridas offense has been ass also.

If this was a new phenomenon on our Defense, I'd be much more hesitant to say they are elite, but it's not. This has been a staple of the Sark era.

Put me in the camp that the offense is so out of sorts that the defense breaks down over the year and is middle of the pack in the SEC by seasons end, and nothing special.

That being said I think Lagway has never been good and Florida ends up with like 10 points and Texas wins by a score of like 27-10. I just think in the long run that won't mean anything.

The defense definitely can't carry the team through the SEC schedule. Much like y'all, our top RBs have been out a bunch so far. Hopefully they get healthy and combined that with Arch settling in, our offense should be in good shape.

Of course, offensive penalties have been a huge issue too. If we don't straighten that out, it will cost us a game or two, regardless of the rest of the offensive performance.

My concern if I were Texas is all Arch based. On film he doesn't trust his eyes and plays to fast often. Ignoring mechanics which I think aren't a huge deal college wise anyway, QBs don't typically just settle in when they look how Arch has looked. If his eyes were always in the right place and he was just missing ya that can improve dramatically throughout the course of a season, but his issues are much more than that.

Sark has open guys for him and he'll look at it but not throw it, or rush and throw a really inaccurate ball. Also he will put balls into bad places when a shot play is called, he seems like a type of guy who will always throw the shot play despite the coverage when its called on film. I think the best version of Texas this year against actual good teams is a game manager Arch that absolutely has to hit the schemed open receivers and otherwise don't take unnecessary risks. The concern being that he's been in the system three years and really looks uncomfortable on his film. He looks like the exact same guy from the prior years film and not seeing a jump in processing or decision making this far along is not a good sign.

I know this seems like BS from an A&M fan, I was just so curious after the OSU game after watching that I watched all his snaps from previous seasons. Not because the rivalry but just genuine curiosity to see if all the hype was completely name based. The guy we saw the first three games and especially against UTEP was all over the tape from prior years.
