3. Texas Longhorns

Record: 1-0

Previous Rank: 4 (Trend: up)

Last Week: Defeated New Mexico State, 56-7

This Week: at BYU

Next Week: vs. Ole Miss

The first five offensive drives of the game for Texas were as follows: Fumble, turnover on downs, punt, interception, interception.

The final ten offensive drives of the game for Texas were as follows: Passing touchdown, passing touchdown, rushing touchdown, rushing touchdown, passing touchdown, punt, punt, passing touchdown, rushing touchdown, rushing touchdown.

Assuming the first five drives were more nerves based, Texas looks to be on track and ready to prove doubters wrong. Ash rebounded from the two interceptions to throw four touchdowns and 343 yards, and the rushing game averaged 8.5 yards per carry.

Texas gets a small test against BYU before we find out how good the Longhorns really are when they host Ole Miss.
