Texas has the advantage of momentum, particularly after a loss to Georgia earlier in the season. The revenge factor can often play a significant role in performance, as teams tend to be highly motivated in rematch scenarios. There's a well-known adage in college football that it's hard to beat a good team twice in one season. This is due to several factors including adjustments made by the losing team, the psychological boost of having something to prove, and sometimes even changes in strategy or personnel. Texas seems to have both the psychological and possibly the strategic upper hand.
