Texas Longhorns CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
The Texas Longhorns have had a relatively successful season in their first SEC campaign. Obviously, the home loss to the Georgia Bulldogs was sobering, but Texas has been in the hunt for the SEC championship and newly expanded College Football Playoff. Texas is coming off a win at Arkansas that was tighter than expected. The Horns failed to deliver the cash as big road favorites. This week the Longhorns will be heavily favored at home against the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky has been offensively challenged this year and lacks the Texas firepower.

Texas Longhorns Weekly Recap

Texas has a record of 9-1 straight up, 6-4 against the spread, and 4-5-1 over/under the total. Texas ranks 19th for total offense, 12th for passing, 66th for rushing and 13th for scoring.

Steve Sarkisian strolled off the field as Razorback Stadium emptied, his usual police escort flanking him Saturday as Texas players trickled through a tunnel and into the visitors' locker room.
Sarkisian flashed a "Horns Up" hand signal to Texas fans. There were no boos, no trash-talking from Arkansas fans. The Longhorns coach could have run laps around the field and not have been bothered after a 20-10 victory against Arkansas.
Three years ago, that wasn't the case. Sarkisian needed all the protection he could get as he navigated his way to the locker room. Arkansas fans stormed the field to celebrate a 19-point defeat of their hated rivals in a performance that showed the Horns, who allowed an ugly 333 yards rushing, were not ready for their impending move to the SEC, primarily because they were an absolute mess in the trenches.
"That was an eye-opening experience," said Texas senior defensive tackle Alfred Collins.
No. 3 Texas returned to Fayetteville looking the part of an SEC juggernaut, a team built on the foundational aspects that made Nick Saban's teams seemingly invincible in the 2010s — a blueprint Sarkisian, a former Alabama assistant, has successfully tweaked and made his own in Austin. It wasn't always pretty Saturday, particularly on offense, as the Longhorns were held to only 315 yards, but the defense was elite with two turnovers and six sacks (four in the first half).
The Hogs finished with only 231 yards and didn't eclipse 70 yards until an impressive 12-play touchdown drive pulled them within 13-7 with 3:39 remaining in the third quarter.

Texas has a total of four claimed and five unclaimed national championships. Their last title was in 2005, which was their first since 1970. This stunning fact indicates a good program but hardly the juggernaut it considers itself to be. Texas has an impressive 32 conference championships.
Former head coach Mack Brown showed the potential of the Texas program. Brown led the Longhorns to the 2005 and 2009 national championship games. From 2001 through 2009, Brown led Texas to the final top ten national rankings six times.
Following a loss in the 2009 national championship game to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas rapidly declined and has never been close to reaching that level. Brown vehemently denies it, but the program turned soft in his final years. A sense of entitlement took over the program. In fact, Texas began being derided as the “tea sippers.”
Texas dominated the Big 12 Conference board room, which led to that sense of entitlement. ESPN gave the Longhorns their own network, and the Big 12 caved to almost all of the Longhorns' demands. It caused karma that damaged the program and removed its hard edge.
