Arkansas at Texas

AUSTIN, Texas (Interstat) — The Texas Longhorns, looking to rebound from a decisive loss, are heavily favored against the struggling Arkansas Razorbacks when the former Southwest Conference rivals meet Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Texas (7-3) enters the contest following a 35-10 road loss to then-Georgia. Quarterback Arch Manning threw for 251 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. The Longhorns’ three losses this season have come against top-10 opponents.

Arkansas (2-8) arrives in Austin on a six-game losing streak, with five of those losses by a single possession. The Razorbacks are coming off a heartbreaking 23-22 defeat at LSU last Saturday. Quarterback Taylen Green leads the Arkansas offense, accounting for 235 total yards and a touchdown against the Tigers.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Texas 31, Arkansas 21. Despite the projection, Arkansas has been installed as a +8.5 point underdog. The over/under is set at 58.5.

The game kicks off at 6 p.m. Central on Saturday. Texas will host Texas A&M the following Friday, while Arkansas returns home to face Missouri.
