FEI (14th nationally), FPI (7th), s&p+ (11th), and Massey (10th) all think they are.
I like us +7.5, but these ratings scare me off.

Under performing? Is it Sark?
They should have blown the doors off Kentucky. Texas scores their first touchdown of the first half late in the second quarter bc Kiblett returns a punt on a short field to the ten yard line.
Oh yeah, if we kick any ball directly to Kiblett the ST coach should be fired after the game. He was more of weapon than Arch last Saturday night.
Well - we have 1 common opponent, so lets start there.
Both of us Played UF in the Swamp 1 week apart.
We both scored 21 points
We allowed 23. Texas allowed 29 - Advantage MSU
We allowed 452 yards of offense. Texas allowed 457 - Advantage MSU
We gained 468 yards of offense. Texas gained 341 - Advantage MSU
Shapen threw for 324, no TDs, 1 INT. Manning 289/2/2 - Lean MSU
We ran for 144 with 1 fumble. Texas ran for 52 w/1 fumble - Advantage MSU
We had 2 sacks. Texas had Zero - Advantage MSU
We had 3 TFLs. Texas had 3 - Push
We had 2 INTS. Texas had 1 - Advantage MSU
We allowed 4 sacks. Texas allowed 6 - Advantage MSU
We allowed 11 TFLs. Texas allowed 7 - Advantage Texas
MSU is at Home (4-1). Texas is 1-2 on the Road - Advantage MSU
Our SOS is 35. Texas 48.
Comparing our common opponent, we take this game.
Ole Miss scored way more points on Kentucky than Texas.
IIRC, Kentucky sacked Arch four times.
I watched them some last week, and they looked horrible. I watched them vs Ohio state and Oklahoma though, and while the offense wasn't good, the defense was unbelievable. They held both teams below 275 yards total. I would feel much better had they rolled Kentucky bc I fear we get a much better effort this weekQuote:

Texas can't score points. I think we win a close one
Or ....... is Texas good enough to beat us.
That's a lot of advantages. Looks like we should win by at least 30.Quote:

Don't bet a lot of money on single opponent comparison conclusions.
If we beat Texas the rumors of Lane to Austin will start because they will fire Sark and Arch.
Dont worry I won’t fall for that. I bet with my heart and that loses me way more money. Cant get me Vegas!Quote:

Their special teams has been their best offense lately. The punt return TD vs Oklahoma and averaged 44 yards per punt return against KY in a game they only had 179 yards total offense. 179!
No big plays on teams.
Why, yes. Yes we are.
