We're going to give our predictions for tomorrow's game. I'm excited about tomorrow's game, but we first must talk about why it's a must-win. Why, why is it a must-win for our Texas Longhorns? Well, this is why. You have a grueling schedule coming up. Tennessee, yes, that's tomorrow, we know that. Eastern Standard Time starts at 12 PM. We'll be there and locked in. We have a bye week next week. Okay. Then we have the Red River rivalry against that team. Yeah. Won't be saying their name, but you know exactly what I'm talking about. Then we have Florida. They're ranked 21st in the country. Then we have Ole Miss. They're ranked 4th in the country as of right now. Mississippi State. These are rankings right now, by the way, in the AP Top 25. 24th ranked Mississippi State, 19th ranked Missouri, 10th ranked LSU, unranked Arkansas, and 23rd ranked Texas A&M. So what's that? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 7 of your last 9 are ranked and they're all in the SEC. And let's do it. Let's do another count. That's 1. That's 2. So there's 2 of them are ranked in the top 10. 2 of them are ranked in the top 10. If Kamario Taylor down there at Mississippi State continues to ball, yeah, they might, they might find themselves in the top 10. So that might be 3, right? And LSU, if they can redeem themselves, they might be in the top 5. They might be in the, they might be in the top 5. Honestly, so this is this game tomorrow should be used as momentum to propel us into a grueling and whoo treacherous schedule, treacherous schedule. But Sark did this because he knew he he knew that his team was prepared for this. He knew it. He knew it. I I firmly believe that Sark knew that you know his guys were propelled. He they were prepared for this and oh we can just sit back and and enjoy the ride honestly. Now tomorrow's game it will be. Physical. It's your SEC opener. It will be physical. And this should, if there are some players that haven't played in the SEC, Relique Brown, this should be a, you know, get, this is what you should prepare. You should prepare. This should be your entrance or introduction, I should say, into this SEC conference. 'Cause it's gonna be physical. This is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. But I feel like he's prepared. I feel like he's prepared. We did, again, I feel like I have to remind us, we did knock off the number one team in the nation, Ohio State. That's why we're number one now. I feel like we're prepared. I feel like prepared, uh, and so does Kalshi. Kalshi has us winning the national championship game today. Today we're trading at 13%. Um, Ohio State, oddly enough I just mentioned them, Ohio State, they're trading at 12% right now. They have us winning over Ohio State in the national championship. So for example, if you were to go over on Kalshi Right? If you were to go over on Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I, and trade $100, uh, your max payout would be $629. So go on, download the Kalshi app, use promo code HIT to get $25 when you trade $25. Again, that is Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I. Kalshi, trade on anything. Score predictions, score predictions. Huh, I wanna— let's take this brick by brick, okay? We're gonna go quarter by quarter by quarter by quarter. I'm not gonna say each score by quarter, but I will say this, right? I believe it's gonna be a physical game. I really, I pray to God Steve Sarkisian really establishes the run game. I do. If we can do that, if we can do that, I could see, I could see a scenario where we win this game 30 to 6. No, I have more respect for them. How about 30 to 10? We can win that game 30 to 10. If we can really establish a run game and really take control of the game and really just have our way and just be like, yeah, you guys haven't played anybody. We're the best. We have. We're going to show you how. I could see this getting out of hand very quick. I can see us winning the game 37-17. I respect their offense. 37-17. Yep, 37-17. I believe Arch will get involved in the RPO game. I believe Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman, they, they might not necessarily have those killer games, but you will know that they're present. This will be a, uh, Relique Brown, Hollywood Smothers, uh, and a Derek Cooper type of game where we have to establish a run. I think our defense confuses. I think Will Muschamp absolutely really confuses that freshman quarterback. Now, I believe we do stop the run. I believe we do get active on the edges. I believe we do get after the quarterback. Colin Simmons, we are expecting him to play. And since I believe he's going to play, big game, big game, big game. I believe Ian, uh, Ian Gifford will be a major piece in getting this win against the Tennessee Volunteers. So let's go. I'm just gonna go 37-17. That's it. That's my score prediction.
