If there were no outside intangibles involved in this game, Texas A&M would be my pick because they are hot, they are home, and they are simply the better team over their rivals, Texas. But, a factor in this game I cannot ignore is the simple fact one of the premier programs in the country, that of the Texas Longhorns, has to win this game to avoid a losing season. That is enough to offset the advantages A&M brings to the game, and in my opinion, is enough to keep me from making a recommendation on a side in this 8:00p.m. ESPN contest.
What I do like in the game is the under play. Texas has a slightly above average running game, and they've just lost the leading RB from last year, Tre Newton. That running game will not be helped at all by an ATROCIOUS Longhorn passing attack. It's hard to believe a Texas QB(Brantley) can be this bad. A&M has an underrated defense that should give Texas trouble.Conversely, A&M also has a slightly above average running game, and, they too have just lost their leading rusher from last year. QB Tanneyhill has done a good job for the Aggies, but, his experience level is still low, and I believe the Longhorns can restrict him, to a degree.
Finally, I believe Texas will come to play , for the reasons written above, and, If they do, they will have to lead with their defense. This bodes well for a lower scoring game. Therefore,
ONE STAR PLAY ON THE UNDER IN THE A&M-TEXAS RIVALRY GAME
