Texas On Three-Game Win Streak

Texas come into this matchup having kept their playoff hopes alive with three consecutive wins, improving to 7-2.

The Longhorns opened the season with three non-conference victories, sandwiching a big 24-23 win over Ohio State with blowouts of Texas State, 59-7, and UTSA, 30-6.

They then kicked off their SEC slate with a 20-17 victory at Tennessee, only to see their playoff hopes take a major hit over the next few weeks.

Texas were beaten 27-24 by ‘Red River’ rivals Oklahoma, and then suffered a 27-24 defeat when they played host to Florida.

The Longhorns have rallied over the past few weeks though, following up a 34-27 victory over Ole Miss with wins against Mississippi State, 31-3, and Missouri, 34-20.

LSU Suffered Third Loss Last Time Out

LSU go into this game knowing last weekend’s loss to Alabama may have ended their hopes of snatching a playoff place.

The Tigers opened with a 51-10 demolition of Clemson and a 45-14 victory over Louisiana Tech, but their SEC schedule began with a 32-24 loss at Ole Miss.

They rebounded to beat Texas A&M 35-6 and McNeese State 63-14 over the next couple of weeks, only to then suffer a 35-34 defeat in Kentucky that left them on the brink.

LSU bounced back with a 31-0 shutout of Mississippi State, and backed that up with a 37-17 victory at Auburn.

However, the Tigers failed to make it three-in-a-row last weekend, as they were beaten 31-13 at home by Alabama, dropping them to 6-3.

Verdict

Texas @ LSU

There was plenty of controversy coming out of the win at Missouri, but Texas got the job done nonetheless, and they are back on course for the playoffs.

Playing LSU on the road at night is tough, but the Longhorns have all of the momentum, making those free points appealing.
