TulsaWorld’s Guerin Emig takes a look at why (in the world) pundits have Texas over OSU in preseason polls.
My guess is it’s the quarterback. Texas has two QBs that pollsters are at least familiar with – Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele. I’m not sure either is very good, but at least you are aware of them.
Taylor Cornelius is a completely unknown commodity after watching Mason Rudolph the past four years. We don’t know what Gundy has in the guy, and if we don’t how can we expect AP voters from the Marietta (Georgia) Daily Journal or the Journal Inquirer from Manchester, Connecticut, to have a clue?
