The Embrace the Hate tour continues for the No. 7 Texas Longhorns with the penultimate road trip, up I-35 to Fort Worth to take on the TCU Horned Frogs at Amon Carter Stadium at 6:30 p.m. Central on ABC.
On paper, the Longhorns are 13-point favorites over the Horned Frogs, according to DraftKings, featuring Quinn Ewers returning at quarterback following two games out with an injury to his throwing shoulder, and facing a TCU team without its own starting quarterback and several top wide receivers. Texas is also 8-1, about to be in first place in the Big 12 standings, and several fortuitous losses from a shot at the College Football Playoffs, while TCU has stumbled to a 4-5 record with a 2-4 mark in conference play after last season’s surprise run to the national championship game.
