BYU Cougars @ Texas Longhorns Free Football Pick & Preview

BYU Cougars @ Texas Longhorns Free Football Pick & Preview: If anybody read all my picks last week, you’ll see what I think about the BYU Cougars – in short, I’m unimpressed with their wins from last season and expect them to struggle against good teams. I don’t know if Texas is a top tier squad right now, but they are certainly on an entirely different talent level than the mighty Mormons.

Jake Heaps is a nice young talent for the Cougars, but I think asking them to be physical enough to beat the Longhorns is asking a little much. I know the Cougars have had teams in the past with enough senior leadership to win big games like this, but I just don’t think that’s the case right now.

Texas isn’t expected to do much this year, but they’ll still run the ball well and be too athletic defensively for the Cougars to put up many touchdowns. That’s enough for me, I’ll take the horns.
