Texas Longhorns Analysis

To get into the Big 12 Championship game and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, Texas needs a win. They currently have a one-game lead over Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Oklahoma and have won five consecutive games after losing to Oklahoma (34-30) on Oct. 7. To win this game they need strong execution as well as a consistent defensive performance.

Texas Longhorns Prepare to Take on High-Flying Texas Tech in Anticipated Matchup

Texas and Texas Tech face off in a highly anticipated matchup. Both teams are known for their shootouts, with Texas Tech throwing 331 yards in their last meeting against the Longhorns. While the Longhorns have been struggling in pass defense, they have maintained a strong running game through Baxter, although he does not hold a candle to Brooks, a nationally recognized running back. Furthermore, while the Horns have managed to score 33 against Kansas State in overtime, they have scored under 30 in their past two games. Although the Longhorns will hope to come out with a win, Texas Tech is no slouch and the Longhorns have only dominated over one opponent (BYU) since their loss to Oklahoma.
