The Texas Longhorns could obviously win this game by whatever they want, but they’ve had a week off, and they have a look ahead spot with West Virginia on deck. The Incarnate Word Cardinals are also a battle tested team that’s played Baylor, Texas Tech and Purdue, and they weren’t exactly destroyed in any of those games. This is a lot of points in a game Texas likely doesn’t care about. Give me the boatload of buckets.
