No. 12 – UTEP
Nothing will come from this game. Texas will more than likely win heavily and the backups will get some good playing time.
No. 11 – USF
USF is going to be a tougher test than UTEP, but the Longhorns should be able to take care of business quite easily. Focusing on LSU the next week could hurt Texas early, but when it is said it done, it will be a comfortable win.
No. 10 – @ Texas Tech
Crazy things have happened to Texas in Lubbock, including a game-winning touchdown from Lil Jordan Humphrey in 2018. However, the Red Raiders are in the middle of a rebuild and are expected to struggle for a couple more seasons.
