We think this game could easily shootout and we want exposure to the over here. Texas lost both if their monstrous defensive tackles, Sweat and Murphy, to the NFL Draft after their amazing year last year. Their secondary was bad last year, ranking 55th in pass success rate allowed, and 61st in PFF’s coverage grade. That matters because Colorado State had a very good pass attack, ranking 38th in pass success rate. They return their QB, star receiver (Horton), and three O-line starters. On the other side, CSU’s defense was bad, ranking 89th in success rate and 111th in pass success rate. Texas has Ewers and 4 O-line starters returning and brought in strong players in Silas Bolden and Isaiah Bond. They ranked 6th in SP+ last season and should be extremely explosive again this year. Lock in the over in this one!
