Texas is a recruiting ground for the Ducks, so beating the Longhorns on their home turf could be very beneficial.
This is Aliotti's redemption game too! Texas is a big O line smash mouth football team that can't throw very well. Much like AZ and Stanford. If Nick comes out there with a 3-4 and we get housed, Helfrich wont need to see much more from him to have Nick replaced with a coach that knows how to make adjustments! Marcus is not coming back to go to another Alamo Bowl, we all know that! That said, beating Texas is huge for our recruiting pipe line and to secure Springs in his home town.
