Texas suffered a devastating loss to Arkansas last week and are looking to get back in the win column on Saturday against Rice.
Fortunately for the Longhorns, they have a great chance to do that in Week 2. Although Texas will be facing a lesser quality opponent, it’s important that they establish confidence and play a clean game this week.
Rice is just simply outmanned and outmatched in this one. Texas should have complete control of this game from the get-go, and use this opportunity to right their wrongs prior to conference play beginning on Sept. 25.
Let’s take a look at how confident the experts are for the Texas-Rice matchup in Week 3. As publications continue to release their predictions, this list will be updated accordingly.
