00:00 Kansas comes in and they say, you know, we're going to keep in front of us so that you can't
00:03 just break out.
00:04 We're going to get pressure and try to force Quinn into bad Quinn.
00:08 And we're going to run our offense and execute our offense.
00:10 And we're not going to, we may not score 50 against you, but we may, you know, get 25
00:15 or 31.
00:17 And our defense is going to step up where people have been sleeping on them all year.
00:20 And they're going to hold Texas to 28, right?
00:22 If you walk out of there with a 31 to 28 win, that feels right.
00:25 I think this is going to be a shootout.
00:27 Certainly, but I wonder, you know, I don't think it's going to be a 50 to 50 shootout.
00:32 I just don't see that from Texas defense, even though Kansas offense is good.
00:36 I think it's, you're smart, you limit possessions, you take advantage, maybe that Quinn, you
00:41 were his turnover streak.
00:43 It finally comes to an end in Kansas, like they did, you know, with the, but if the Hawk
00:47 Mamba, you know, gets another interception or, you know, lays the hit stick and forces
00:51 a fumble, you know, those types of things, the, the pick six, Texas had its worst special
00:56 teams game in the Sark era against Baylor.
00:59 I think the wind was weird, but they fumbled two punts that Baylor recovered and bobbled
01:03 a kickoff and missed a chip shot field goal from 20 yards.
01:07 So if Texas special teams doesn't recover, which I have a little more doubt on that.
01:11 I think they're a really good unit, but if they have another weird one if, you know,
01:15 Kansas can be the, win the turnover battle, right?
01:19 Be that the more efficient team, not turn it over when they have the ball and, you know,
01:23 force Texas into mistakes and get viewers off of his kind of off of, off of his rhythm
01:28 and awful where Sark wants him, then, then yeah, that's your formula.
01:31 And you have some of the playmaking game breaking guys, you know, when you're in, in Daniels
01:35 and Neil you know, in, in look, Lord forbid you have, you have this incredible fullback
01:39 who's done it before.
01:40 Like I like him and I love that he actually is like legitimately great.
01:45 And it wasn't just a flash in the pan against Texas.
01:47 He's actually this great career that's come after that.
01:49 I love Jared Casey for that.
01:51 But you know, like, yeah, maybe Jared Casey pancakes, someone on the edge for a Devon
01:54 Neil touchdown.
01:55 That is the difference in the game.
01:56 And he's the hero yet again, you know, there you have the guys more than you have ever
02:01 to do it where it won't be a fluke, right.
02:03 It'll show that Kansas really is, you know, that, that good deserves the ranking and more.
