The Texas Longhorns are 1-4 all-time against the BYU Cougars and on an active two-game losing streak.
The Texas Longhorns are entering Saturday's game against the BYU Cougars without their star quarterback Quinn Ewers under center.
However, the Longhorns still have everything to play for, and new starter Maalik Murphy will be ready to go. Meanwhile, the Cougars will be coming off of an impressive 27-14 win over Texas Tech last week and will have confidence facing an inexperienced signal-caller., losing in back-to-back years in both 1987-88 and 2013-14. The Longhorns' lone victory against the Cougars came in a 17-16 slugfest in 2011.Texas Longhorns QB Maalik Murphy drops back to pass vs. HoustonMaria Lysaker-USA TODAY SportsTexas might not have Quinn Ewers on Saturday, but I believe Maalik Murphy is ready for the challenge.
And in conjunction with a strong rushing attack, and plenty of reliable pass catchers to spread the ball around to, I think Murphy will do just that. Texas wins comfortably.
Yes. Murphy's strong second half gives the Longhorns the edge at home. Still, Kalani Sitake will have BYU ready to fight early. The Cougars just won't pull away late.According to FPI, facing the Longhorns will be BYU's most challenging opponent all season. Before the Oct. 28 matchup in Austin, BYU would have played consecutive games against TCU and Texas Tech, which could possibly be draining already, so an away game in Austin following those matchups could be tough.
