WATCH: Texas releases hype video ahead of Kansas State matchup

Texas will need its fans to bring the energy on Saturday against Kansas State.

No. 7 Texas is preparing for a massive Big 12 showdown against No. 23 Kansas State on Saturday.

Third-year head coach Steve Sarkisian has preached the importance of fans attending the game to show up early and be loud. Having home field advantage could be the difference maker in this particular game.

The Longhorns will be without starting quarterback Quinn Ewers for the second consecutive game. Backup signal-caller Maalik Murphy had a decent showing against BYU last week, but will need to be more careful with the football against the Wildcats.

Texas still has a legitimate chance to reach the Big 12 Championship game and College Football Playoff despite their loss to Oklahoma earlier this season. However, Kansas State looks to be the toughest opponent left on their regular season schedule.

The Texas football social media department released a hype video on Friday that stressed the importance of taking it one moment at a time. “The mission is clear: there is only right here, right now.”
