What to Know
The Texas Longhorns and the Kansas State Wildcats are set to square off in a Big 12 matchup at noon ET Nov. 26 at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
The Longhorns came up short against the West Virginia Mountaineers last week, falling 31-23. Texas’ defeat came about despite a quality game from RB Keilan Robinson, who rushed for one TD and 111 yards on nine carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Robinson has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
Meanwhile, K-State came up short against the Baylor Bears last week, falling 20-10. Kansas State’s loss came about despite a quality game from RB Deuce Vaughn, who rushed for one TD and 128 yards on 11 carries. That touchdown — a 65-yard rush in the second quarter — was one of the highlights of the contest.
This next matchup is expected to be close, with the Longhorns going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. Now might not be the best time to take Texas against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past six consecutive games.
Texas is now 4-7 while K-State sits at a mirror-image 7-4. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas is stumbling into the game with the 228th most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 24 on the season. The Wildcats have had an even harder time: they are 154th worst in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 13 on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
