Texas will welcome West Virginia to town in Week 5.
The Longhorns badly need a bounce back performance after being upset by Texas Tech in overtime last week. The Mountaineers began the season 0-2 but have since defeated Towson and Virginia Tech to become .500 on the year.
It’s still unclear whether or not Texas will have starting quarterback Quinn Ewers under center or not. He has practiced with the team over the last two weeks, but Steve Sarkisian opted to go with backup Hudson Card against Texas Tech last week. It will be interesting to see whether or not Sarkisian chooses to hold him out until the Oct. 8 game against Oklahoma.
Texas could be without star wide receiver Xavier Worthy as well, as Sarkisian noted that he is day-to-day this week after suffering a lower body injury against Texas Tech.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Longhorns have an 85.1% chance to defeat the Mountaineers in Austin this week. How confident is the national media that Texas will in fact escape with a win?
