Desmond Howard doesn't have much faith in Texas O-Line in the Red River Rivalry

The Red River Rivalry is here, and the unranked Texas Longhorns aren't expected to do particularly well against the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners, despite the Horns being favored by 1.5 points.

The biggest problem? Texas can't protect its starting quarterback: Arch Manning.

Manning, who finally stepped into the QB1 role after sitting behind Quinn Ewers for two years, has been pressured over and over again. Against the Florida Gators last weekend, Manning was sacked six times in the Longhorns' loss.

The struggles on the offensive line are going to be a problem against a dominant Oklahoma defensive line, which pulled off nine sacks against the Auburn Tigers just a few weeks ago.
