The Texas Longhorns can dominate this game from the first snap of this game, and I have some key stats to back that up. But first things first, welcome to the Locked On Longhorns hit podcast show with the Locked On Podcast Network. I'm your host, Madison Davis. You can find us here every day, twice a day. Make sure you turn those post notifications on so you know when we post over there on YouTube. And if you're listening through audio, tap in with us daily. Now let's get into those stats. I was telling you about. Now, the Roadrunners defensively, uh, they rank 131st, uh, with rushing yards allowed per game. Now remember what I was telling you guys early on in the week? I believe if Steve Sarkisian can, uh, deploy this running game, uh, it can take this team to levels that we haven't seen in a while. Um, and in total yards allowed per game, they rank 125th. They give up approximately 400 1,651 yards in total offense. I, I— it's— oh, guys, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I believe we could dominate, um, off rip. I really do. Um, they rank 69th in points allowed per game. Their defense, um, ranks 69th and they allow 21 points per game. Um, and passing yards allowed per game, they rank 85th with 218 yards, uh, per game, but in total forced turnovers, they rank 11th. 11th. That's pretty good. While, you know, the Texas Longhorns offensively, well, we've already lost 3. We already have 3 turnovers in the last 2 games. And we ranked 70th in turnovers lost. So we do have to keep an eye out for that. But as far as the Roadrunners go, I believe one more stat I'll read off. They ranked 133rd in total tackles for loss. Now, with that, right, with that, this game will be won in the trenches. In the trenches. Our interior run game versus UTSA's front 7 will be a key matchup To watch, I believe if we can establish the run first, good things will happen now. But but remember when I was telling you we could take this offense to another level, right? Well, it seems as though the people over on Calci believe the same thing. Texas is favored to win the national championship this season. They are currently trading at 13%. Now Notre Dame is actually trading at 12%. Also, they have us matching off against them in the national championship, and you know what that would be. That would be really exciting. I, I can't even lie to you. That would be pretty exciting. Uh, but since we are at 13%, that would mean a $100 trade pays out to approximately $631 if they win the national championship this season. I have full faith we can get that done. So you won't be losing money. But do this for me. Download Kalshi. Use code HIT, uh, to get $25 when you trade $25. That's Kalshi. K-A-L-S-H-I. Kalshi. Trade on anything. And when I mean anything, I mean anything. Here is how we get it done. Here's how we get it done, right? We are— we're already seeing some, some, uh, continuity, uh, in Texas left guard rotation, uh, with Sikorsky and Lawrence Seymour, right? And I, I honestly believe it's going to be that inside zone that's going to give us some money. That's how we're going to make our money this game. I, I believe that. And we already saw how we were already getting started with Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown last game against Ohio State. Really, in that second half, that run game was getting started, man. They were, and I saw some things where we could pick up from in this game. We need to build up momentum. We need to build up momentum. And I believe that's how we have to get it done. And then once we establish the run game, we can get it started with our wide receivers. But this could be a game where we could possibly have both of our guys go over 100 yards. That's how I'm feeling. That's how I'm feeling. I believe we could have both of our running backs to go over 100 yards. We should probably have over 200 yards rushing this game. We should. We should. I really feel this way. I feel like our offensive interior is just, we're just better. I do. I just feel like we're just better. There's— I don't feel like there's an excuse for us to get pushed back. I feel like our mud diggers up front, that's what I call offensive linemen, mud diggers. I feel like the mud diggers up front can really just create space for our running backs to just operate. And they hit the hole. They hit the hole fast. They hit the hole aggressive. And they can go downhill. Don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted. Yeah, they can make you miss. But when it's time to run through somebody, they can do it. They can do it. So I believe that that is, that's our key advantage. The run game. That's the run game. That's our advantage right there. That's the key advantage right there. The run game. That's it. That's it. And these guys are getting better and better. And you already, we, again, I will go back to this. You saw it progressing and getting even better. And when Stark stuck with it in the Ohio State game, it was getting better and better and better and better. When that 4th quarter came, We were there. Running game, running game was where it had to be. Now we need to see that in this game, and this is going to propel us into our, uh, our tough thing, our tougher schedule. Excuse me, our tougher schedule, um, that is. And next week, next week we do go to Tennessee next week. So this, we need to get this. We need, um, to have our run game just go ahead, establish their dominance, dominance, and propel us into the next game as well. But that's been my time. I hope I didn't waste yours. Uh, make sure, uh, you leave your score predictions down in the comments. I would Love to hear from you. Hook 'em.
