The only reason not to consider the Texas Longhorns here is because it’s a bit of a letdown after they just played Illinois. However, the fact the Longhorns lost, should have a focused team here for a bounce back spot. The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are getting their boots smoked against teams half as good as Texas. Thick line, but nothing the Longhorns can’t handle if focused.
