The No. 1 Texas Longhorns have plenty of momentum heading into its first season in the SEC following a 4-0 start in which head coach Steve Sarkisian’s team has out-scored its opponents 191-22 and that’s expected to continue as the 1-3 Mississippi State Bulldogs come to Austin next weekend as 35.5-point underdogs, according to FanDuel.
As a six-day selection, the game time and television were also announced on Sunday with kickoff set for 3:15 p.m. Central on SEC Network.
Under first-year head coach Jeff Lebby, Mississippi State is off to a 1-3 start with a 56-7 win over Eastern Kentucky in the season opener followed by a 30-23 loss to Arizona State, a shocking 41-17 defeat by Toledo, and a 45-28 loss to Florida on Saturday that included a season-ending shoulder injury suffered by starting quarterback Blake Shapen.
