Shane’s Free Pick

Texas is no doubt the better team, and they are going to have no issue here. Texas in the last game gave up only 56 points to an elite Kansas team and their defense is going to lockdown again in this game. Colgate is going to really struggle to score here, and that will be the difference as Texas is going to get the job done. Back the Longhorns to win this game and cover the spread.
