Methinks The Horns will handle Mississippi State relatively easily iffen everyone does not decide to play with anything but their best.
The other team will be psyched to knock off a top rated team so you can't be playing below yer abilities.

Ya has a fine team down there and it should contend with the DAWGS and give them some much needed competition.

So far its a fun college futzball season..

Well, in truth, Colorado State and UT San Antonio have good, solid football programs ... BUT, they are NOT well-equipped to stay all four quarters with the massive, well-funded teams of the big conferences. And, we found out that Michigan is now a shadow of its former self. So, Texas has not yet faced some REALLY serious competition ... and they are not going to, next week, either.

However, playing these teams from "lesser" conferences is a two-sided coin - you get to tune up against what is supposed to be an easier opponent, BUT you cannot let your guard down because YOU ARE SUPPOSED (i.e., REQUIRED!) TO WIN and you are worthless crap if you don't. The Prosecution is pleased to enter Exhibit #1 into evidence - Northern Illinois 16 - Notre Dame 14 - AT HOME IN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA!

Hopefully, there will be no let down against UL Monroe, this coming weekend, and in two weeks, Mississippi State will test Texas ... however, the SEC's Mississippi State is currently on the skids at 1-2 with last Saturday's loss to a "lesser" conference opponent in Toledo, who beat them at home by a score of 41 to 17. The real tests come right after with Oklahoma and Georgia.
