• Hate to say it, but it seems like opponents have figured CU out (early 13-0 deficit to Arizona; 28-0 run by Utah). Texas has too many weapons. Fingers crossed, but I see a comfortable Texas victory (35%, 118 Votes)
• The Buffs are motivated, while the Longhorns are not (five of seven captains opted out; one injured). The Buffs will surprise, and come home with a trophy! (33%, 111 Votes)
• I can see the game being sloppy (with all of the new players on the field). That alone should help the Buffs keep it close. Probably not a CU victory, but I can see CU beating the spread (9.5-points) (32%, 104 Votes)

• No ... but it should be offset by the number of Texas starters who have opted out. It's up to the CU offense to exploit the holes in the Texas defense more than UT exploits the loss of Landman (64%, 191 Votes)
• No. You don't get first-team All-Pac-12 (and Butkus Award candidates) at CU every day. You can anticipate the Longhorns exploiting the lack of experience (and drop in talent) in the linebacker corps (30%, 89 Votes)
• Yes. It's not as if the CU coaches and players haven't had time to adjust to the loss of Landman (like the second half of the Utah game). I look for the "next man up" for the Buffs to play well (6%, 19 Votes)

• I really like his offer sheet. A former Texas A&M commit, Vaka had 20 offers from Power Five conference schools, including half of the Pac-12. This is more like it! (71%, 225 Votes)
• That Vaka is 6'2", 350-pounds - in high school! Get him under Drew Wilson's tutelage, and he could a mainstay in the middle of the line for four years! (22%, 69 Votes)
• What can I say? I like his name - Victory Vaka. Can't wait to get him on the field, and let the announcers have fun with his name ... when Buffs post victories over the next four/five years! (7%, 22 Votes)

• That the only time the Buffs have won a bowl game in their last six attempts (2004 Houston Bowl), the game was also played on December 29th (we'll take any good karma we can get!) (42%, 84 Votes)
• That in the 18-game all-time series between CU and Texas, the Buffs have a longer win streak in the series (six games: 1989-97) than do the Longhorns (30%, 59 Votes)
• That there have been only 19 true freshman in CU history to be on the field for over 300 snaps - with cornerback Christian Gonzalez joining that list this year (in only five games) (28%, 56 Votes)

• That the Longhorns were 114th in the nation in pass defense ... and that was before both safeties opted out. Paging Sam Noyer! (35%, 117 Votes)
• That there are 22 players from Texas on the CU roster This is their chance to gain bragging rights over their teammates from high school ... great motivation for the Buffs! (33%, 108 Votes)
• That six of the seven Texas captains are either injured or have opted out. If the Longhorns' leaders don't care about the game .... it gives us a chance (32%, 107 Votes)
