Analysis and Predictions: Texas vs Washington in the Sugar Bowl
Transcript
00:00 The Sugar Bowl, number three Texas Joe, a four and a half point favorite against number
00:08 two Washington.
00:09 The Huskies have been an underdog a few times this year, four times under Kaitlin DeBoer
00:14 since he became the head man in Seattle at the beginning of 2022.
00:18 They have won outright in all four of those games.
00:20 They are a perfect eight and oh straight up against ranked opponents.
00:25 Where do you land on where this spread is Joe?
00:27 Is it too much or does it feel just about right?
00:30 It feels about right.
00:31 Now these teams played in the Alamo Bowl last year.
00:34 Michael Pinnock's in Washington won that ballgame by seven different defense for Texas right
00:39 now.
00:40 They're doing it in terms of the front seven holding opposing offenses to three yards per
00:43 rush but I think they got it right.
00:45 It's the public perception as well.
00:47 They knocked off Alabama even though Washington battle tested him back to back games against
00:52 Oregon.
00:53 They've gotten it done a little more uglier maybe than Texas.
00:56 So I have no problem with that.
00:58 I will say Kev, I believe Michael Pinnock's is the best overall quarterback left and we
01:04 can you know, Millroll has strengths.
01:07 He has weaknesses McCarthy.
01:08 I think right now Michael Pinnock's is the guy out of this group.
01:12 I'm going to roll with them again.
01:14 That's not a knock on Quinn yours, but the way they won ballgames, they have a mentality
01:18 and Dylan Johnson with the rushing attack and those cornerbacks.
01:22 I'm going to take a shot outright over Texas.
01:25 Look I Washington can not only win this game.
01:28 They can are capable of winning a national champion.
01:30 It's why we were hope.
01:31 I was hopeful that this would be the four others were rooting in an awful game.
01:35 The reality I mean, it's the truth.
01:37 You guys are nuts.
01:38 The reality though is while Michael Pennix overall for the year, right is the one that
01:42 went to New York.
01:44 He's not playing great football entering.
01:46 He's not all right, but he's not playing his best football entering this game the way to
01:51 beat Texas.
01:52 Well, okay, you can't run on Texas.
01:54 No, so he has to be excellent in this game in order to be Texas because when yours is
02:02 playing great football coming in.
02:03 Yeah.
02:04 Yeah.
02:05 Yeah.
