00:00Let's turn our attention to another early matchup.

00:03It takes place in Gainesville.

00:05Last year, Texas walked into Austin and won that game 49-17.

00:11DJ Lagway did not play in this matchup last year.

00:14He's playing this year.

00:16There's bad weather on the horizon.

00:18Texas, a 6.5-point road favorite in the swamp.

00:22How do you see this one playing out?

00:24Man, first of all, I see an undercoming.

00:27Rain or no rain, I see an undercoming.

00:29You've got two, I think, elite defenses, especially Texas.

00:33They are still a top-ranked defense in the country,

00:37and they're going to bring their defense.

00:39Even if Florida can't score much, their defense is going to play well,

00:44and I think they're going to be right in this ballgame.

00:46I've got them right in the game going into the fourth quarter,

00:50but I do think Texas wins by a touchdown,

00:53and that's enough for me to take Texas in the points.

00:56I still would like to see, as far as Texas' chances in the SEC,

01:01I would love to see them come out there and be a little more explosive

01:05and wide open offensively if they're going to be a championship contender

01:10for the SEC title down the road.

01:11You look at Texas right now, they did dominate Sam Houston State a couple of weeks ago,

01:1755-0.

01:18Their defense is very good in run support.

01:21DJ Lagway and that offense are going to have to put some pressure on the perimeter

01:25for that Texas defense to maybe work off a play action with bad weather in the potential horizon.

01:3354% chance of rain.

01:35It'll be very difficult.

01:36I like points, but I like Florida on the money line as well.

01:41We'll see how it plays out.
