A trap game for UT? What's ailing A&M? A must-win for Tech? | A Texas take on college football
The Texas Longhorns are facing a backup quarterback, Texas A&M has the week off, Texas Tech hosts Arizona State. A look at the week in college football.
Texas football analysts suggest the upcoming Mississippi State game is unlikely to be a trap for the Longhorns, who learned from their recent loss to Florida. The Bulldogs' potential replacements for their injured quarterback are not as experienced as some might think, boosting Texas's chances. Coach Steve Sarkisian could help Arch Manning by employing strategic blocking techniques and emphasizing the run game.
Texas A&M coach Mike Elko should consider using backup quarterback Brady Hart and explore options from the portal to improve the team's chances in tough upcoming games. A showdown with Arizona could be an elimination game for Texas Tech, given their weak schedule and the competition from other teams like Oklahoma State. The Big 12's chances of securing two teams in the CFP appear slim after recent losses, leaving Utah as the potential outlier.
