Now they will face Ohio State in Jerry World,

But they did not look igood squeaking by the Arizona State Sun Devils

The Longhorns defense is sound

But they will have to play much better on offense to beat Ohio State

Much, much better

Ohio State could choke but I think that team is just too talented to lose to Texas, the way they played in the 1st half against Oregon makes me think this will be your national champion.

Regrettably I have to agree

The Longhorns are good, but OSU looks better

I liked the old Texas, before they started wearing pink and lavender cowboy hats. Austin is weird.

Texas has to learn how to close out a game. And look how their offense played during overtime....they have to put that kind of pressure on defenses during the game, nonstop, if they want to win.

Texas had a bunch of penalities on offense

Holding and illegal motion calls were a real problem

Plus Sark the riverboat gambler play caller and his love for the long ball when he only needed 3 or 4 yards for a first down

Finally, the Texas field goal licker missed two makable field goals

Listened to it in the radio.
ASU blitzing on 4th and 13 in overtime with a seven point lead was a gift to Texas. Major stupid call.

1970
