There will be a lot at stake when Texas hosts Iowa State on Friday.
It’s senior night for the Longhorns and likely the last home game of quarterback Sam Ehlinger’s collegiate career. A berth to the Big 12 Championship is on the line. In return, head coach Tom Herman will either provide hope for his future in Austin or his seat will continue heating up.
A win likely catapults Texas as a favorite to compete for the Big 12 title on Dec. 19. The Longhorns control their own destiny and Iowa State is the toughest game left on their schedule.
According to BetMGM odds, this particular matchup is up for the taking and could go either direction with Texas holding a -1 spread. Take a look at whether Longhorns Wire staff feels confident in Texas coming away with their fourth consecutive win.
