00:08going to be watching that game on saturday uh ohio state minus two and a half boy this line

00:13felt i mean you correct me on this one it feels like this has been two and a half rock solid

00:17pretty much for at least a few weeks here total of 47 and a half the winner with a leg up and

00:24probably the number one team in the country whoever wins this game on saturday do you have

00:28any opinion on this one yeah ohio state has been the favorite throughout they were they were a

00:34three-point favorite up until a few weeks ago then a little money showed on texas and it has as you

00:38indicated held steady at ohio state minus two and a half maybe even minus two at some stores

00:43uh but but this is a game first of all where you've got two first-time quarterbacks

00:48uh as far as being starters but all first-time starters are not created equal arch manning's

00:54not your typical first-time starter i mean he's been in the program this is his third year there

00:59at the university of texas he's been carefully groomed uh slowly marinated he threw 90 passes

01:05last year started two games so i think he's ready to go and is actually the betting favorite to win

01:10the heisman this year on the other sideline julian saying he is a big time bona fide five-star talent

01:17out of the state of california but he only played a total of 27 snaps last year he only completed

01:23five passes all in garbage time during the fourth quarter so this is his first meaningful college

01:34game than the texas longhorns i mean they got two guys in the front seven true sophomore defensive end

01:40colin simmons had nine sacks last year uh despite only playing situationally he's bulked up he'll be

01:47more of an every down uh edge guy this year and then anthony hill jr at linebacker kind of a hybrid

01:53guy that they'll move around first team all america consensus last year will be a thursday night draft

02:00pick uh this coming april in the nfl draft i think that i think they're going to wreak havoc on young

02:06mr saying uh texas has got a little more experience in ohio state across the board longhorn's going to go

02:12into columbus i believe and beat the defending national champion buckeyes i like texas plus two

02:17two and a half over ohio state

02:19you
