Maximize your wagers by reading our free college football picks before kickoff. The ninth ranked Longhorns (3-1) suffered a season opening loss at defending National Champion Ohio State and rank fourth nationally in total defense. Last time out, Texas limited Sam Houston to 113 yards from scrimmage during a 55-0 home victory.

Texas QB Arch Manning broke out of an early season slump with 309 passing yards and three touchdowns. WR Ryan Wingo caught four passes for a game-high 93 receiving yards and two scores. Christian Clark added 62 rushing yards for the Longhorns.

Florida Preview

The Florida Gators have scored just 33 points combined over their last three games and head coach Billy Napier finds himself on the hot seat once again. The Gators (1-3) have already dropped two games versus in-state opponents and rank second worst in the SEC Conference in total offense. Last Saturday, Florida managed just 141 yards during an ugly 26-7 road loss against fourth ranked Miami.

Florida trailed 13-0 at halftime and made things interesting late in the third quarter on Jadan Baugh’s seven-yard touchdown run. Embattled QB D.J. Lagway completed 12 of 23 passes for a woeful 61 yards in a losing effort for the Gators, who failed to convert any of their 13 third-down attempts.
