A look at UTRGV's season so far

When UTRGV came to Austin three weeks ago, the Vaqueros entered with a 16-11 record. While they were outmatched against Texas, they bounced back from their loss to the Longhorns in strong fashion as they have gone 7-5 in the stretch of games between the two contests. 

UTRGV by the numbers

Record: 23-16

Runs scored: 271

Runs allowed: 216

Team ERA: 4.91

Team Avg.: .303

UTRGV wins this game if...

They can force Texas into making pitching changes sooner than they would like to. This is likely to be a bullpen day for the Longhorns, as they will try to get guys innings as they prepare for a crucial conference series against Oklahoma State, If the Vaqueros can get their bats going and get the Texas bullpen off track early, they could pull off the upset win over Texas. 

Texas wins this game if...

The Longhorns put up over 10 runs again. Over their last four games, the Longhorns have outscored opponents 58-19, completely dominating teams offensively. After all, pitching issues will have a hard time costing you games if you can hang 20 runs on the board. If the Longhorns can do what they've been doing and stay hot at the plate, they should take care of the Vaqueros much like they did three weeks ago.
