The Texas Longhorns remained No. 7 in the College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, with the opportunity to move up this weekend if they get help from other teams.
TCU will start redshirt freshman Josh Hoover at quarterback instead of Chandler Morris on Saturday, and Texas must capitalize on his mistakes. Hoover has thrown seven touchdowns and seven interceptions this season but lacks the experience to be effective against Texas’ stout defense.

Texas will play their final Big 12 game against TCU on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT. Here’s a look at the numbers comparing both programs.
