Posted September 28, 2012 by Anthony Slater Comment on this article Leave a comment

Here’s a compilation of Oklahoma State-Texas game predictions from across the national platform. As you can see, pundits are favoring the Longhorns.

Bruce Feldman – CBSSports.com

Nice test for young UT QB David Ash, who has gotten off to a fast start and not thrown any picks. The Cowboys do have some quality covermen. I realize UT standout LB Jordan Hicks is banged up, but I still think the ‘Horns D will bounce back from a shaky showing at Ole Miss. Texas 24 – Oklahoma State 13

Kirk Herbstreit – ESPN

Texas is one of those teams I’m not quite sold on yet. I’m very excited about their future, very excited about what they can do, but we just don’t know yet. I don’t even think Mack Brown knows just how good this Texas team could be. But I think we will learn a lot on the road in Stillwater. Oklahoma State is not the same team as a year ago, but Mike Gundy has built a program, they have a team that has a lot of skill, a lot of athletic ability and I think this will be the toughest test up to this point, obviously, for Texas and quarterback David Ash…It will be a tough game for Texas, but I think they find a way to get it done on the road. But again, it’s going to be a challenge against this speed and athletic ability of the program in Stillwater.

Berry Tramel – Oklahoman

I was picking the Cowboys before Wes Lunt went down. But not now. Longhorns 27-23

David Ubben – ESPN

This is my pick of the week. Texas’ running game will do horrible, horrible things to Oklahoma State’s defensive line. Texas 37 – Oklahoma State 27

Aaron Taylor – CBS
