Play 3 games and win 3. That is the mission of the Texas Longhorns. Combined with the latest College Football Playoff rankings and a wild SEC tiebreaker scenario, the best path for UT is to just win.
Mission begins Saturday in Fayetteville, where the Horns will face a high-spirited Arkansas team that has already upset the Tennessee Volunteers at home. Razorbacks fans will be “calling pigs” all day long as they unleash their age-old venom on Texas.
Texas played Florida last week and won 49-17. But the Hogs are much better than the Gators, plus this is a road game.
Texas QB Quinn Ewers is looking to keep up his enthusiasm after having a great game in Burnt Orange last Saturday. Ewers has been in a slump since returning from an oblique abdominal injury. But against Florida, the junior from Southlake looked healthy and ready for a long regular season.

If the Texans can handle the atmosphere in Fayetteville, the Longhorns offense should have a very productive day against the Razorbacks. The real danger from the Hogs defense is on the defensive line. Landon Jackson and Xavier Slay Jr. will cause some problems for the Texas offensive line. But if Ewers has time, he should shatter a very mediocre Arkansas secondary.
Prediction: Texas 42, Arkansas 17
