00:02 - It begins in Austin,
00:06 where the Texas Longhorns play BYU.
00:09 We see a line that has been growing all week long on Texas.
00:12 It's flirting with three touchdown status right now,
00:16 but the big story is Quinn Ewers and a sprained AC joint
00:21 that is not only going to keep him out of this game,
00:23 but potentially a little bit longer.
00:26 What are your expectations from Texas today
00:29 with Malik Murphy stepping in
00:30 at the starting quarterback spot?
00:32 - I think it's a perfect matchup for Texas,
00:34 to be honest with you.
00:35 Now we saw BYU dominate my Texas Tech Red Raiders.
00:38 They dominated that ball game from start to finish,
00:41 forced five turnovers, and just built a first half lead
00:44 and ran away with the ball game in terms of the second half.
00:47 But typically BYU, in my opinion,
00:49 struggles from speed teams,
00:51 teams that could spread them out
00:53 and challenge them vertically in terms of the passing game.
00:56 That's what Malik Murphy, Xavier Worthy,
00:58 and those wide receivers bring for Texas.
01:00 Now I know the Longhorns jumped out early
01:03 against Houston, 21-0.
01:05 They were flat in the second half,
01:07 allowed the Cougars back into that ball game.
01:09 Playing at home in Austin,
01:11 they have a 700 winning percentage over the last six years
01:14 in terms of Darryl Royal Stadium.
01:16 I expect the speed of Texas to take over.
01:19 Bad matchup, opened at 17 and a half,
01:21 up to 20 and a half now, guys.
01:23 I know it's Slovis, I know it's Kalani Setaki,
01:26 but I think the Longhorns roll here.
