No. 8 Texas (2-1) will aim to extend its winning streak this weekend when it comes up against Sam Houston. The Longhorns started the season on a disappointing note, falling to Ohio State in Columbus in the season opener. However, they've gone on to win the last two games.
Ad
The Longhorns haven't lived up to the expectations of many during the offseason. Starting quarterback Arch Manning has struggled under the center, causing some issues on the offense. However, Steve Sarkisian will hope to use the game against the Bearkats to build his team's momentum.
Sam Houston enters the game as the massive underdog, with little to no expectations of securing a win. However, it's the program's highest-profile game of the season, and they will be hoping to take the best chance of it.
The game is set to kick off at the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin at 8:00 p.m. ET.
