Texas Longhorns schedule: TV, streaming, odds and how to watch Big 12 game vs. Houston
The Texas Longhorns had a bye week after a tough loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry game during Week 6, which dealt a blow to their hopes of making it to the College Football Playoff. Despite the setback, the team is now fully focused on their next game and used the bye week to rest key players who were nursing injuries.
During a weekly media press conference, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian stated that the bye week was crucial for the team to rest and recover before their upcoming game against Houston.
“We limited a lot of guys practice,” Sarkisian said. “We really wanted to try and get them healthy.”
The Longhorns benefited from all the losses around the country and moved to the No. 8 spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll despite not playing in Week 7.
Texas is set to face Houston in this Week 8 match-up. Houston comes into this game with a lot of momentum after securing a thrilling 41-39 victory over West Virginia in their previous game, the Cougars' first conference win of the season. It's worth noting that Houston has won three out of their four home games so far this season, which could pose a big challenge for Texas.
The No. 8 Texas Longhorns are favorites to beat the Houston Cougars in Week 8 at TDECU Stadium.
