Ole Miss Rebels vs. Texas Longhorns Prediction

I’m on Texas here. I just haven’t liked what I’ve seen from Ole Miss this season, and I think the Longhorns are the better team by a fair margin, even though I think the Longhorns could be a bit of a fraud in the grand scheme of things. I think Texas gets Ole Miss here and ends the Rebels’ season. Give me Texas.
