Texas Football: 5 bold predictions for the remainder of Big 12 play
1. Every game left in the regular season is won by double digits
The final question that Texas needs to answer in terms of the broad picture of this team proving itself to everyone across the college football landscape is winning games big that its supposed to. Blowing out Oklahoma State is a fantastic way to start down that path to proving the true worth of this team.
The Oklahoma State matchup comes on the national stage during a prime time showdown. Since head coach Mike Gundy and the Pokes are still held in a high regard by most outside of the realm of the Big 12, it’s hard to think that Texas football had a greater opportunity to exploit a down team. And, Texas is only a three-point favorite over Oklahoma State so it can blow the spread out of the water too.
Fixing the second half issue can build into this bigger point of winning some easier matchups by a comfortable margin. If Texas kept its foot on the gas against the aforementioned three teams the Horns beat already like it did in the first half, we’d be talking about a team winning most games by an average of at least 17-21 points per game.

Gaining confidence from this Oklahoma State game is big before Texas heads into that final difficult stretch during the regular season which entails Iowa State and West Virginia at home and a dangerous meeting on the road with an improving Texas Tech team. Texas is superior to all these teams, though, so converting in the second half could lead to some huge wins to cap this regular season.
