00:02 The total sub 50.
00:05 How do you see this matchup in Austin playing out?
00:07 >> So I talked about LSU being fraudulent.
00:11 All right, maybe some of that is me just inspire the fellas down in Tuscaloosa.
00:17 But genuinely, the Kansas State group that is getting all this love and
00:21 respect, to some degree I think it's because of Avery Johnson now joining
00:26 Will Howard in this two quarterback system.
00:27 >> Yep. >> And there's a lot of excitement.
00:29 But go through the resume.
00:31 They have played two legitimate teams in Missouri and Oklahoma State.
00:36 Played both games as a favorite.
00:38 >> Yep.
00:39 >> Lost both and allowed both opponents over their team total.
00:42 And you might say, well, come on, those are tough spots, they're on the road.
00:45 Is today's game being played on Mars?
00:47 No, it's being played in Austin, Texas.
00:49 >> Correct. >> Where the Longhorns are at home.
00:51 This line is completely disrespectful to Texas.
00:54 And some people might look at last week's game against BYU and come away and
00:58 say what really, the Longhorns went over their team total despite two drives
01:03 going inside the BYU five yard line.
01:06 >> Yeah. >> And not resulting in any points,
01:09 meaning that Texas could have hung a 50 spot on BYU.
01:12 And if they did, this line on that merit alone might be seven.
01:16 K-State, Lacey has had very few step up spots and
01:19 they haven't stepped up in any of these spots.
01:21 And what I think is being most underrated here is a Texas defense that is still
01:25 one of the five best in college football.
01:27 >> And very good against the run, holding opposing offenses to less than three
01:30 yards, three and a half yards per carry, 98 rushing yards per game.
01:34 And guys, they've won six straight in terms of the series.
01:37 The last four, by an average margin of victory of 13.7 points per game,
01:41 got this victory last year in Manhattan, 34 to 27.
01:45 And again, it comes down to, Ben, whether you believe in Texas being there or not.
01:49 Because if you believe Texas is a Big 12 contender,
01:52 potentially one of the top ten teams in college football, they win this game today.
01:56 >> Yeah. >> K-State is balanced,
01:59 they're rushing and throwing for over 200.
02:01 But again, that secondary for Kansas State has given up 236 passing yards per game,
02:07 the speed of Worthy and those wide receivers.
02:10 Even with Malik Murphy, to me is the difference.
02:12 It comes down to tempo, comes down to the athleticism of the front seven.
02:17 >> Yeah. >> And again,
02:17 now that you're under the four and it's three and a half, I laid it.
02:21 What I did is, I took it in a parlay, I laid the 170.
02:24 I don't want the spread, I just want Texas to win the ball game outright.
