Yesterday morning, I went with the over-under of three of the Texas injured players being able to play today.
Well, three players were moved up from questionable to probable.
Ryan Wingo
Graceson Littleton
Kade Phillips
That means Colin Simmons and Cam Coleman remain questionable and are possible game-time decisions.

I think it’s interesting how we got to yesterday’s injury report.
As of yesterday morning, I was told Coleman and Simmons were actually unlikely to play and that one of the DBs was 50-50 at best.
It was somewhat disappointing news overall because early in the week, Texas was hopeful Simmons could play.

Now let’s talk about the game itself.
Missouri has an offensive identity. Texas doesn’t, at least not a consistent one.
Missouri has a solid defense. Texas has an elite one.
Special teams feels like a draw, though Texas has had the steadier placekicker thus far.
Both coaches are solid in game and time management IMO.
Texas may have an advantage when it comes to depth of talent. But Missouri is plenty talented to win this game.
Both teams are 6-2. And the game is in Missouri.
On paper, this is a toss-up. In Vegas, it’s the same (Texas favored by just 2.5 points).
The team that wins today will likely get on top early in the contest and then lean into their strengths. For Missouri, that’s its run game. For Texas, it’s the defense.
First one to 17 points wins this game.
I think the ball just might bounce the way of the Longhorns because the Horns’ defense are starting to create turnovers.
Hook’Em!
