Arkansas at No. 17 Texas
Saturday, November 22 at 3:30pm ET on ESPN3/ABC
Could a three-loss team make the College Football Playoff? Texas fans sure hope so. The Longhorns will likely need help to make the CFP, but they must first control what they can control. That starts with beating an Arkansas team that has lost eight straight games. Arkansas gives up the most yards in the SEC, so this should be a good opportunity for the Texas offense — and Arch Manning — to get back on track. But the Texas defense is the unit that has really taken a step back in recent weeks. What was supposed to be the strength of the team has allowed over 34 points in three straight games. After this game, the Longhorns will host hated rival Texas A&M on the Friday after Thanksgiving. A win over the Aggies would go a long way with the committee, but even with that outcome, according to ESPN’s CFP predictor tool, the odds of Steve Sarkisian's team receiving a bid are 45%.

Taylen Green - QB, Arkansas - It might surprise you to learn that Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green is currently 3rd in the SEC in total QBR, behind only Georgia’s Gunner Stockton and Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia. Averaging over 34 points and 470 yards per game, the issue with Arkansas's offense isn't their production, it's their mistakes. They're the most penalized team in the SEC and Green has thrown 10 interceptions. The Razorbacks have six one-score losses, so if they can limit their errors on Saturday, they might be explosive enough to upset a Longhorns team that could be reeling from last week's loss to Georgia.
Arch Manning - QB, Texas - Arch Manning is undoubtedly the most scrutinized player in all of college football. It's gotten a bit tiring talking about him, but this week's game against a soft Arkansas defense gives him a chance to get some momentum ahead of next week's massive showdown against the Texas A&M Aggies.We're not just talking about passing either. In his last four games, Manning has a total of negative 8 yards rushing. As long as they don't overlook Arkansas, this should be a “get right” game for both Manning and the Longhorns.
Odds for Arkansas at Texas
