Texas Football: 5 Bold Predictions for Texas Bowl vs. Missouri
By Shelbie Warr
4. Junior quarterback Drew Lock has a game for the ages
If you haven’t heard of this kid, you aren’t watching college football. Junior quarterback Drew Lock has had the season of his dreams. Despite a 1-5 start, he currently leads the nation in touchdown passes and has his team on a six game win streak heading into the Texas Bowl match up with the Texas Longhorns. He has been the talk of the town in terms of the draft, but many believe he’ll spend another year at Missouri before going pro in 2019.
He is the key to victory against the Longhorns, who are already thin due to suspensions and players sitting out. He sits at 43 touchdowns on the season and I am positive that number grows by at least four against Texas.
His “golden arm” as it were will be too much for the Longhorns to handle. He is battle tested and ready against the defenses of the SEC and as a result, I can’t see the Longhorns slowing him down much.
My bold prediction? Like I said above, at least four touchdown passes for the junior quarterback.
