Predicting the rest of the week’s games

Predicting the rest of the week’s games

The Texas Longhorns have a big game this weekend. You could argue that outside of Red River it is the most important game of the season.

The bout with UTSA will display the Longhorns’ response following last week’s heavyweight fight with Alabama.

Texas enters the game bruised and battered with Quinn Ewers out and Hudson Card questionable for Saturday’s game. Presumably, Charles Wright could start the game for Texas. Even so, the Longhorns will look to stay, as Steve Sarkisian puts it, “enamored with us.”

Outside of Austin, a number of consequential games loom. Oklahoma faces a challenge similar to what Alabama faced last week. The Sooners wake up early for a morning road battle against a team they should beat with ease.

Let’s look at how these games could unfold.

Oklahoma enters in attack mode coming into the game as a heavy favorite. Adding to the difficulty of an early game, Oklahoma will have an hour-long drive to the stadium. Nebraska hangs for awhile, but Oklahoma prevails.

Oklahoma 31, Nebraska 26
