The upcoming opponent is banged up, too, but the Horns are reeling from attrition right now.
The bye week wasn't long enough for the Texas Longhorns to get anywhere close to full strength and another long gameweek may not help much either after the Horns lost numerous players to injuries against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Austin on Thanksgiving Day.
Here's the full injury list, which doesn't even include the three starters who missed the game:
The injury list from tonight (1/2): Haines (left knee), Kirk Johnson (right knee), Tank (stomach), Heard (concussion), Malik (left ankle)

The injury list from tonight (2/2): Jinkens (right ankle), Ridgeway (right ankle), Blueitt (right knee) Texas will evaluate all this week.
