BYU vs. Texas Picks
The BYU Cougars have a solid running back in LJ Martin and take his over rushing yards against the Texas Longhorns here. In Martin's last five games, he's averaging 64 rushing yards. Meanwhile, in the Longhorns' last three games, opponents are rushing for 113.33 rushing yards.
The Texas Longhorns will be without Quinn Ewers on Saturday due to an injury and Maalik Murphy will start for them. However, with Ewers out, the Longhorns will likely become more of a rushing team here, especially against BYU. With that, take Jonathan Brooks over rushing yards who went for 99 yards last week and in his last five games is averaging 143.2 rushing yards, so take the over.
BYU vs. Texas head-to-head
The BYU Cougars and Texas Longhorns have played five times and BYU leads the all-time series 4-1. The lone win for the Longhorns came in 2011 when Texas beat the Cougars 17-16.
BYU vs. Texas prediction
Even though Quinn Ewers is out, the Texas Longhorns offense will still be too much for the BYU Cougars defense which does struggle at times. Murphy has been raved about in training camp in practice, so he still should be able to have success in this game.
Texas' defense has struggled at times. But, if the Longhorns do run the ball more, it should keep the possession time in their favor and not let BYU get too many chances.
Prediction: Texas routs BYU and wins by double digits.
