Ewers Back for Texas?

It appears that Quinn Ewers is going to be back for Texas which is good news for the Longhorns, although Arch Manning is a great backplan if he’s not able to go here. Texas sits with a 5-0 record, and they were able to come away with a 35-13 victory against Mississippi State in the last game. Arch Manning completed 26 of his 31 passes for 325 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. DeAndre Moore Jr had a strong game through the air catching four passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns. 

Overall this season Texas is averaging 45 points while their defense is giving up 7 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th while the defense is ranked 2nd. If the defense is good in this game, Texas should have no issue cruising to the victory here. 

How Good is Oklahoma? 

Oklahoma comes into this game with a 4-1 record overall but it’s still hard to say how good or bad this team actually is. Oklahoma in the first last game faced off against Auburn and they were able to secure the 27-21 victory, but it took a big comeback. Oklahoma had to score 17 points in the 4th quarter to even secure the win. Quarterback Michael Hawkins completed 10 of his 15 passes for 161 yards. He also had a huge game on the ground rushing 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. 

Oklahoma on the season is averaging 28.6 points while their defense is giving up 16 points per game. The offense is ranked 69th in the league while the defense is ranked 19th best. In this game, Hawkins is going to need to have a huge game here to really put the pressure on. Oklahoma will face South Carolina following this game.

Texas vs Oklahoma Prediction

Texas is going to put on a show here and they are going to make an even bigger statement that they are a National Championship title contender. I am not too concerned about who is under center for Texas, and they are going to have no issue getting the job done here. Oklahoma’s offense isn’t going to be good enough, and it’s going to be Texas that is going to get the job done. Back Texas against the spread here.
