The “Chink” in Texas’ Defensive Armor Theoretically Gives Hogs Hope

Arkansas football begins a final three-game stretch Saturday at home against No. 3 Texas.

The Longhorns will be the third top-10 opponent and sixth top-25 opponent the Razorbacks have faced this year, but they might be the best overall team in that group. They’re in the hunt for an SEC title and first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, and the Hogs would love to spoil their chances at both.

Arkansas is a 16.5-point underdog on BetSaracen, but it’s hard to count the Hogs out against their old rivals. Since leaving the Southwest Conference in 1991, they are 4-2 against Texas football despite being underdogs in five of the six matchups.
