Friday - Bobby

Spoiler

Friday

By Bobby Burton

Approximately 24 seniors will walk later today in DKR, their final home game as Longhorns.

While all of them have been party to the resurgence of the Texas football program in their careers, a few of them have played major roles and deserve to be singled out further.

OL DJ Campbell - a three-year starter. Picked Texas and Steve Sarkisian over Oklahoma signaling a change in DFW recruiting four years ago.

OL Cole Hutson - a two-year starter and key back-up his other two seasons, Hutson has been a reliable mainstay of the OL his entire career.

DE Ethan Burke - a multi-year starter with multiple memorable plays, including one a year ago this week. If he has another one today, he will go down as an Aggie killer.

LB Trey Moore - the lone multi-year transfer on this list, Moore has been a mainstay on the defense since he first arrived on campus.

S Michael Taaffe - his reach far exceeded his grasp. The former walk-on became not only a fixture in the secondary but an emotional leader for this team.

**

The Aggies are 2.5 point favorites.

The Aggies are 11-0 and ranked no. 3 in the country.

They expect to win.

Meanwhile, the Longhorns have lost three games this year, one almost inexplicably to Florida.

The Horns were also trounced in Athens by Georgia earlier this month.

Yet Texas is playing a better brand of ball of late - at least on offense.

Arch Manning is averaging more than 300 yards passing in the last four games.

The Texss defense? Not so much.

If the Texas defense can stand up, force the Aggies to feel pressure and make mistakes, this could be one of the better Longhorn-Aggie contests we’ll see.

It has that potential.

**

For those of you going to the game, I have only one request.

Yell at the top of your lungs for those not able to be there. 😉

In all seriousness, crowd noise needs to be a factor in the outcome.

I’m sticking with my prediction from earlier in the week.

Texas 31 - A&M 28

Hook’Em!

On Anthony Hill Jr. (Thursday 9:30 pm) - C.J. Vogel

"Hill remains pretty banged up, and it would not come as a surprise if he was a game-time scratch... 

We will see come Friday evening, but I’m not entirely optimistic currently."

On Anthony Hill Jr. (Thursday 9:30 pm)

By CJ Vogel

If Anthony Hill Jr plays on Friday, it’s because he desperately wants to beat Texas A&M. 

Hill was listed as QUESTIONABLE once again, I am hearing he is not a true 50/50 to play. Hill remains pretty banged up, and it would not come as a surprise if he was a game-time scratch. 

Texas is going to heavily rely on Liona Lefau and Trey Moore until Ty’Anthony Smith returns in the 3rd quarter. 

We will see come Friday evening, but I’m not entirely optimistic currently.

I know the young ones and some of the misguided olds don’t want this rivalry on the schedule, but god damn this scene on Thanksgiving or the day after is exactly what Thanksgiving in Texas is supposed be about.  I’m quite pleased with the increased enjoyment of my Thanksgiving now in year two of this restart. This is how Thanksgiving is supposed to be.
