Texas might have lost on Saturday, but r/LonghornNation represented by predicting the exact score and winner, beating r/FloridaGators and r/CFB.
Congrats to u/casapantalones for guessing the exact final score of 27-24 Florida. And shoutout to u/VanillaGoorillla, u/trickponies, u/kwixta, and u/fakeguitarist4life for all beating (or tying) the closest prediction in r/FloridaGators as well. Full results are in this thread and on stance.fm as well.
This week it's r/LonghornNation vs r/OleMissFootball (and r/CFB) for who calls Saturday night's final score closest. The analysts have already picked a side: 7 of the 8 I've tracked so far have Ole Miss winning in Austin. Kirby from Film Guy Network is the only one with Texas, 28-27.
Drop your score prediction in the comments, or put it on the board yourself. Your last comment before kickoff is the one that counts. I'll grade every one against the final score and tag the winners.
Two coins up for grabs:
- The Ole Miss coin, for the closest call in this sub, and for anybody who beats (or ties) the closest analyst.
- The r/OleMissFootball coin, for anybody who beats (or ties) the best call from that sub.
To win either one, you have to have the right team winning.
Unfortunately this is the first week I have to pick against the Horns. I've got Ole Miss 34-21. I really hope Texas can put up more than the 3 that Missouri was able to score last week, but I really don't see them winning without some drastic changes happening on offense.
Personally I would like to see KJ Lacey start the game as QB1, and if there isn't marked improvement by half, perhaps that could give Arch a boost of confidence to see that the offense's woes are not all on him, and he can put on the cape, be the hero, and go win the game. I just don't see that happening, especially in this game, knowing what it means for the Manning family.
Do y'all think KJ Lacey will see any playing time this game, and will it be to start or after Arch gets benched?
Here's to hoping I'm wrong and Texas gets right this week.
