The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have a pivotal matchup with the No. 24 Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday. It marks what could be the final Top 25 matchup between Texas and the hateful eight, the eight Big 12 teams that remain after Oklahoma and Texas announced their departure from the league.
We anticipate next week’s game to be a Top 15 matchup, but Kansas should command all attention from Texas this week. It’s the kind of matchup that could determine whether or not the Longhorns are playing for a College Football Playoff berth at season’s end.
Kansas is a good football team, but like most anybody else in college football it has identifiable flaws. The Longhorns need to attack those flaws on Saturday.
Here are a few of our bold predictions for Saturday’s game.
