unranked 4-loss home-team ISU was a 7.0 favorite against ranked Texas.

but ranked 1-loss home-team Baylor is only a 5.5 favorite against unranked Texas?

I thought you were running away and never coming back (until next football season)?

The seasons are eerily similar except for the records.

ISU has been favored in 8 games this year with a 6-2 record overall. They covered in 3 of the wins (ULM, TCU and @ West Virginia). They failed to cover in 3 of the wins (UNI, @ Texas Tech-IIRC and Texas). They lost two of the games (@ Baylor and Oklahoma State).

However, as a dog, the Cyclones are 2-0:

ISU was a 2 point dog @ home to Iowa and lost by 1 (covered).
ISU was a 13 point dog @ Oklahoma and lost by 1. (covered).

Just the way it is in the crazy Big Xii!

The Big 12 made sure that Oklahoma played both ISU and Baylor the week before they played Texas.

We get them softened up and Texas, well, does what Texas does.

It is kind of odd seeing as how Vegas has Baylor 15 in their top 25 and ISU 18. But its not super crazy.

They have held ISU in high regard all year and favored in 8 out of 10 games. Only Iowa (-2) and Oklahoma (-13) were favored over the Cyclones. State was actually favored (-3) @ Baylor earlier in the year!

Color me stupid, but I thought this was gonna be about how Sammy "the gun" Ehlinger is slinging it all over the field and leading Texas to greatness.

Is that not what this is about?

You know what, all 3 Texas TDs @ Iowa State were due to great plays by Ehlinger. I never bought into him being a super great QB, but he's a fighter, and he played with moxy vs. the Cyclones - who were hitting him hard all day long. He earned my respect.

Ha. Very true.

I've argued with all these Texas fans on here to some extent, about the very heart and soul of Ehlinger. They hate it. He has won them games. They don't want to hear it.

I have mad respect for that young man. He plays his guts out every Saturday, is a leader, and never quits.

Texas isn't losing more than 2 games a year because of Sam Ehlinger.
