There is only one over/under I’m interested in for this game: the number of sacks Will Anderson will get in Austin this week.
This isn’t going to be much of a game. Alabama has the two best players in the country, Bryce Young and Will Anderson, and perhaps the best pass rush of Nick Saban’s tenure. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have a very young offensive line, including a true freshman at left tackle in Kelvin Banks Jr.
While the Longhorns have enough high-end talent on offense to hang with the Crimson Tide for a quarter or two, Alabama has far too much experience and overpowering talent for Texas to be competitive.
Something to watch: if the Longhorns do lose big this week, will Steve Sarkisian be able to get his team to recover in time for Big 12 play?
