without mcillroy throwing a few picks how does texas win this game?

UT's defense (the defensive line specifically) is good. They were tied for 4th in the country in sacks and 1st in intercetions. They were exposed by a big-play passing game in the A&M game but that had a lot more to do with the Aggies being particularly aggressive situationally.

UT's biggest problem in this game is going to be running the football. They have tried a number of different running backs with little success and are in a heap of trouble if they can't be balanced on offense.

derby trail tip of the day for bowls season:

SEC underdogs are on a huge roll, covering their last 19 of 22(Alabama only underdog unable to cover in 2006, Arkansas in 2007, South Carolina in 2008) and winning 17 of them SU.

take a look there are a few sec dogs this year

I dont think your info is correct

[Cannon Shell]

Before Alabama becomes the Steel Curtain Steelers remember they needed a blocked kick to beat TENN and were life and death against Auburn. I personally think Texas is not as good as a team that is undefeated and in the top 3 all year normally is either. Watching A&M move the ball seemingly at will despite sucking is hard to forget.

I am ready to give this a go.

eleven players as of Friday AM.

Cannon,
Thanks for setting this up!

Have you thought of posting the link and info in the contest section? Maybe we might get a few more players.

It is a meaningless bowl game, but the fact that South Florida is only a 6.5 favorite over Northern Illinois seems ridiculous. That looks like easy money to me.
The Big East has been consistently underrated in recent years, and the MAC is....well....the MAC. South Florida has looked good in stretches this season, and I work at NIU and have watched them a few times this year. They suck.

The Big Ten was Pathetic this year, I will be playing Ga Tech and Oregon Heavy, and parlay them with Bama and Florida and Boise St. I like 5 teaming the BCS games.
