Head coach Steve Sarkisian’s second season with the Texas Longhorns starts this week with the opener against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the Longhorns are huge favorites — as of Sunday evening, Texas is favored by 37.5 points at DraftKings.
Texas is unranked in the AP Top 25 and ranked No. 18 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll as the Longhorns try to bounce back from last year’s 5-7 campaign. Meanwhile, head coach Terry Bowden is trying to turn around a Louisiana-Monroe that went 4-8 in 2021 after a winless 2020 season.
