The Red River Rivalry game gave the second bout of heartbreak to the Texas football program six games into the 2019 regular season. The 34-27 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners compounded with the 45-38 loss back in Week 2 at home to the LSU Tigers to give Texas two quality losses on the season.
This is a good week for Texas to get a break, coming off a close one on the road in a win over the West Virginia Mountaineers and the trying loss last weekend to Oklahoma. Texas gets the slipping Kansas Jayhawks and first-year former LSU head coach Les Miles as a 22-point favorite at home this week.
