The game of the week in college this weekend is between Alabama football and Texas football. The 11th ranked Longhorns are coming into Tuscaloosa to battle the third ranked Crimson Tide, and it should be a great game. ESPN's College GameDay will be at the game and the crew is already down in Alabama doing some shows. Dan Orlovsky made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday and picked Texas to win the game with a sea of Crimson Tide fans in attendance, and they weren't too happy with his prediction.

“I think Texas wins that game, Milroe scares me throwing the football,” Dan Orlovsky said on The Pat McAfee Show. “I keep hearing people talk about Jalen Milroe like he's a duel-threat quarterback, I see him way more as a runner right now than an accurate thrower. If I was Texas I would blitz the tailbacks because I don't think the tailbacks are good in pass protection right now.”
Alabama football fans immediately started booing Orlovksy when he said that he thinks Texas will win, and near the end of the explanation, ‘Dan you suck' chants began to echo from the crowd watching the show.
Orlovsky had a lot to say about the Crimson Tide there, and it was all negative. However, he did eventually add in one positive remark about Alabama.
“I think they're a super talented offensive line.” Orlovsky added.
We'll see if Orlovksy's prediction comes true. If Texas can go on the road and win at Alabama, the perception of that program will change big time. Texas will be back if they can beat the Crimson Tide this weekend.
