There’s a lot of teams around the Big 12 that are in the final week of their non-conference slate, including the Texas football program. With a showdown against the winless Rice Owls on tap this weekend, Texas has the chance to bounce back from last week’s one possession loss at the hands of the now No. 4 ranked LSU Tigers. The 45-38 loss to LSU in Week 2 at home could’ve been one onside kick away from letting Texas push to overtime.
Texas enters this Week 3 showdown against the Owls as a 32-point favorite, which is the largest in their favor so far this season.
