Texas travels to Mississippi State as a 7 1/2-point favorite per FanDuel in a game that starts at 3:15 Central. The game may be seen on the SEC Network. Topics on our preview include: Texas’s offense has been awful against competent opponents as quarterback Arch Manning has struggled to show any type of consistency. And the offense has particularly struggled on the road, managing just eight first downs last week at Kentucky. The Longhorns' defense forces lots of turnovers, is loaded with pro prospects and has been elite. Mississippi State’s Blake Shapen is the more proven quarterback in the matchup and has led State to some nice wins this year. Will the Bulldogs have running back Fluff Bothwell for this one? Mississippi State’s defense has greatly improved since last year and has forced turnovers at a high rate. Can the home-field advantage of Starkville be good enough to help the Bulldogs pull an upset?
