Texas comes into this matchup after splitting their last four games, but both losses were against Virginia and ASU. The Longhorns are shooting 50% from the field, but they have allowed at least 87 points in three of their last four games. Southern has also split their last four games, with losses to San Jose State and Washington, and they are shooting 50% from the field. Both teams are scoring plenty of points right now and with Texas struggling on defense, I think that high scoring will continue. Take the over here.
