TT has been playing very well recently and they have been even better when playing at home. Texas has also been playing well this season but recently they have been winning a lot of close games and they have also struggled on the road this season. Texas will likely continue to struggle here on the road against a better ranked opponent.

"We're just focused on ourselves. You know, there's a lot of hate, a lot of rah-rah going on about (Tuesday's game), but we're going into the game with one goal. We understand it's going be a hostile environment, but we think we're built for this." - Timmy Allen after their win against Tennessee.

 

 

"We did a great job of being physical with (Mississippi State) and had great intensity on defense throughout the game. It's always exciting when you can share the ball and spread the points around. You look down our lineup and we have a lot of guys that can score double figures -- nearly the entire team can." - Mark Adams on his team’s win against Mississippi State.
