We want the team that won by 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas is hungry to avenge last year&#8217;s 20-19 home loss to the Crimson Tide. The Longhorns had a 25-16 advantage in first downs, and Alabama committed 15 penalties for 100 yards but still escaped Austin with a last-second win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn Ewers has said and done all of the right things in Austin since assuming the starting QB role. Jalen Milroe has only attempted 78 passes in his college career at Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his lone start last season, he was responsible for three turnovers against Texas A&amp;M. If he beats us, he beats us. But we&#8217;re willing to go to the window with the veteran Longhorns.

Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dvuDGF312G8?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texas vs Alabama Prediction: The PICK <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>So who were you more impressed by, the team that won by 49 last week, or the one that won by 27? We want the team that won by 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Texas is hungry to avenge last year's 20-19 home loss to the Crimson Tide. The Longhorns had a 25-16 advantage in first downs, and Alabama committed 15 penalties for 100 yards but still escaped Austin with a last-second win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn Ewers has said and done all of the right things in Austin since assuming the starting QB role. Jalen Milroe has only attempted 78 passes in his college career at Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In his lone start last season, he was responsible for three turnovers against Texas A&amp;M. If he beats us, he beats us. But we're willing to go to the window with the veteran Longhorns.
