The Locked on Longhorns Podcast starts the week off getting prepared for the Texas Tech game. We preview the battle of the quarterbacks with Sam Ehlinger, who will be facing the Red Raiders for the fourth time. His career record is 2-1 against them. In his last game against Tech in Lubbock, he led them to a last second win. Alan Bowman will be making his debut in the series. Due to season ending injuries the last two years, Bowman has yet to play against Texas.

On the subject of running backs, Patrick and Cami discuss who will start for the Longhorns. Keatontay Ingram is listed as the starter but as seen in the opener it was Roschon Johnson who took the first snaps. Head coach Tom Herman has stated that they will spread the snaps equally among the three backs, including freshman Bijan Robinson. For Tech, their running back was arrested on Monday afternoon. What is his status for the game on Saturday?

Betting odds have been released for the Big 12 Conference’s slate of games coming up on Saturday. Which teams are the heavy favorites and who is beginning as the underdogs? Plus a look at Oklahoma State who struggled in their opener and the team power rankings heading into week three.

Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele will always be linked together. Not just due to the fact they played in Austin together, now both quarterbacks are sitting atop the active passing leaderboard. The Amway Coaches and AP poll have been released, where did Texas fall? Plus we examine if the Big 12 and American Athletic Conference are close.
