Saturday night in Austin is going to be really hot and muggy. It'll be very uncomfortable for our guys, and will definitely take a toll as the game wears on.

DKR Stadium is a big, loud sea of burn orange, right in the heart of Texas. A lot of great teams have gone in there and been beaten.

I do think BYU has every chance to win, but even with UT's injuries it's going to be really tough. We're going to need an even better game than we had last week, and hopefully get some bounces to go our way, as well.

The good news is this is a game most of us penciled in as an "L" preseason, so we're almost playing with house money. If we play well but still come up short, I'll be disappointed but not devastated.

I'll be pretty upset if we only show up for the fireside and forget about the game, though.
