Week 8 vs. BYU
This past season BYU was home to one of the worst defenses in the country, and they lost experienced and electric quarterback Jaren Hall. BYU did replace him with former USC and Pitt quarterback Kedon Slovis, who has shown that he can hurt teams with his arm if he is protected enough. This feels like the epitome of a trap game, as BYU is expected to have around five wins. However, the Longhorns will be hosting the Cougars right before a matchup against Kansas State that will likely have Big 12 Championship implications. If Texas is caught looking ahead or not respecting BYU, it could be a tough pill to swallow.
