Texas vs. UTEP betting preview
Odds: Texas -40.5, over/under of 52
After a 14-7 opening week loss at Ohio State, the Texas Longhorns played like a top-10 team last week, holding San Jose State under 300 total yards and to only one touchdown. Quarterback Arch Manning showed his promise, completing 19 of 30 passes for 295 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Parker Livingstone caught four passes for 128 yards and two scores, while tight end Jack Endries also was on the receiving end for two of Manning's touchdown passes.
Meanwhile, after a disappointing 28-16 road loss at Utah State in Week 1, UTEP bounced back with a dominant win over Tennessee-Martin. Former blue chip quarterback Malachi Nelson thrived against the Skyhawks, throwing for 278 yards and four touchdown passes on only 14 completions. Senior running back Hahsaun Wilson added a 94 yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to put the game out of reach.
