Is there one pundit that is picking Texas?

I have listened to a number of previews from national/local folks, each one predicting a blowout. Which is surprising given the line is only 6.
If someone knows of one, share it.

Texass seems to let up and let teams back in instead of finishing them off.
Ohio st looked terrible versus Michigan, but has dominated in games after Michigan….
I think it helps Texassss to be the underdog…. Maybe they can focus for the whole game…and not take a win for granted….play with some urgency…

Ohio State has evolved into a buzz saw team on a path of total destruction.

Chip Kelly has been given more freedom to call the plays he wants to call imo.. I haven't watched them enough to know for sure, but the offense changed from the Michigan game to the Tennessee game. Instead of playing smash mouth football, they are more balanced and attacking the whole field. That is classic Chip Kelly.
The defense has always been great this year.

Ryan Day has this obsession that he has to prove he has a tougher team than Michigan. He tried to beat them at their literally only strength and we all saw how it went. Hopefully his prove we are tough act is behind him because no one is beating this team if they play to their strengths.

Texas's secondary is good enough to hold up against those WRs IF they get a consistent pass rush. Ohio State will probably win, but personnel wise, this is by far the toughest matchup left for them.

I am happy to be the underdog with a punching chance at the upset. This is why we play the games. No reason for fans like me to feel insulted or disrespected. The team and coaches need to shut up and show up, and all indications are at least the Longhorn players aren't too mouthy on social media.

I'll say one thing, teams look like juggernauts until they don't

Is Lee Corso a pundit?

I don't think Texas will win, but they are probably the one team left with the horses to be able to tilt the game in their favor like you said.

Yes, but he's not exactly an analytical one. Corso is an old school coach and he loves him some Texas and Notre Dame.

IDK about that. He has trouble articulating but he usually does his homework on picks and will cite some statistic to back it up.

I have seen him make plenty of emotional picks over the year. That's ok, because he is an entertainer but I would not call him an analyst at all.

Most people know it will take a perfect game from Texas and Quinn to win and they’ve been far from that recently.
If Texas can’t run the ball it might be ugly

The problem is always which Texas team will show up ? I don't expect Texas to win but not because of talent just mindset.

Corso was about the only guy on the planet to pick Texas over USCw in ‘06.
Give him his due. Maybe lightning strikes twice.

Texas has played some tight games and even has been behind, but the Horns haven't won a game where they were down double digits. That means UT has generally been superior to their opponents. However, they didn't respond fast enough when Georgia punched them in the mouth repeatedly in Austin.
I am glad the game vs. OSU is in Dallas. I have tickets and will do my part to give the Horns a home advantage against a very talented Buckeye team.

Texas doesn't stand a chance
