5. Texas Longhorns (Record: 2-1)

The Longhorns also had a bye this week, but still made news with the DUI arrest of senior offensive lineman Kent Perkins. This is obviously disappointing because it’s become apparent how head coach Charlie Strong has a zero tolerance policy for off-the-field incidents. Should the Longhorns choose to discipline him internally has yet to be determined, but with the Longhorns in grey area right now, they need all the leadership possible.

As previously mentioned, Texas’ win against Notre Dame seems less and less like a marquee win on the season, as the Irish only fall further off the radar. And with Oklahoma State coming off a disappointing loss to Baylor last weekend, a loss in Stillwater could really derail the Longhorns’ hopes at a come back.

A lot rides on both teams this weekend.

Next Game:

 Sat, Oct 01 Oklahoma State Texas vs. Stillwater, Okla.
