    I woke up in the middle of the night and found this thread and can’t go to sleep.  This may beat Roman’s Great Adventure for best thread ever.  Well, maybe not, but close.

    Give it time.  There are still over 6 hours before kick-off.

    No. 15 Texas (-7) at Arkansas, 7 p.m. (ESPN)

    All summer, the question I kept hearing was, will Texas start 0-2? I predicted 1-1, but after the way the ‘Horns looked last week, I’m ready to say 2-0. Arkansas could prove me wrong, as DC Barry Odom often has answers for a more talented foe, but I can’t see the Razorbacks having much success on offense. Texas 26, Arkansas 14

    I’m surprised this spread was as close as it was. The Hogs handled Rice last week but this Texas team has a lot more firepower, led by star running back Bijan Robinson, and I’m not sure Arkansas, which has had all sorts of problems against the run the past couple of years, will be able to slow him down. Texas 27, Arkansas 17

    Texas at Arkansas odds, expert picks, betting trends: After impressive win, Bijan Robinson and Longhorns go on the road

    As far as first games with a new coach and quarterback go, Texas’ win against Louisiana was a good one. Now, the Longhorns go on the road to take on an SEC opponent in Arkansas.

    Hudson Card threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start to give coach Steve Sarkisian in his debut. Running back Bijan Robinson was the star of the show, racking up 173 total yards in a 38-18 win over a then-ranked Louisiana team.

    Arkansas struggled with Rice before blowing it open in the fourth quarter. The Razorbacks were tied with Rice going into the fourth quarter. The Arkansas defense got three interceptions in the fourth, leading to a lopsided 38-17 final score.

    This game kicks off on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
