Three games to get three wins. That’s the mission for the Texas Longhorns. When you combine the latest college football playoff rankings with the wild SEC tiebreaker scenarios, the best path for UT is to just win.
The mission starts Saturday in Fayetteville, where the Horns will face a fired up Arkansas team that has already upset the Tennessee Volunteers at home. Razorbacks fans will ‘callin’ the hogs’ all day as they unleash years of venom towards Texas.
Texas looked in early season form last week against Florida in a dominating 49-17 win. But the Hogs are a tick better than the Gators, plus this is a road game.
Texas QB Quinn Ewers will look to stay hot after one of his best games in Burnt Orange last Saturday. Ewers had been in a slump since coming back from his oblique injury. But against Florida, the junior from Southlake looked healthy and ready for the stretch run of the regular season.

Texas at Arkansas predictions, picks, odds:
All College Football Odds via BetMGM:
- Point spread: Texas -13.5 -110 / Arkansas +13.5 -110
- Money line: Texas -550 / Arkansas +400
- Over-under: 57.5 -110
If Texas can handle the atmosphere in Fayetteville, the Longhorns offense should have a very productive day against the Razorbacks. The real danger from the Hogs defense lies in the defensive line. Landon Jackson and Xavier Sorey, Jr. will cause the Texas offensive line some problems. But if Ewers gets time, he should shred a very mediocre Arkansas secondary.
Prediction: Texas 42, Arkansas 17
