Texas 6-2 Following Back-To-Back Wins

Texas head to Missouri having kept their playoff hopes alive with back-to-back wins to improve to 6-2.

The Longhorns opened the season with a 59-7 blowout of Texas State, and backed that up with a 24-23 victory over an Ohio State team that was ranked number one by AP.

They then beat UTSA 30-6 to take a perfect record into their SEC opener, in which they beat Tennessee 20-17 on the road.

Texas’ form slumped after that though, as they followed a 27-24 defeat to ‘Red River’ rivals Oklahoma with a 27-24 loss at home to Florida.

With their season on the line, the Longhorns have rallied however, backing up a 34-27 upset of Ole Miss with a 31-3 blowout of Mississippi State.

Missouri Improved To 6-2 Last Weekend

Missouri go into this matchup having rebounded from their second loss of the season, improving to 6-2.

The Tigers opened with three consecutive wins against non-conference opposition, beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 54-14, Kansas 38-21 and Troy 27-17.

However, they failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 31-24 to Mississippi State in their SEC opener.

Missouri rebounded with a 45-17 demolition of Florida and a 27-6 blowout of Texas A&M, only to see their playoff aspirations receive another blow with a 31-3 loss at Ole Miss.

The Tigers bounced back at the first attempt though, beating Arkansas 34-10 on the road last weekend.

Verdict

Texas @ Missouri

Texas arrive on the back of a couple of wins, but there are still question marks surrounding them as a road team.

Missouri are rock solid at home, where the offense has moved the ball well, so give us the Tigers and the free points in a matchup that could go right down to the wire.
