The set-up: Texas comes in off an inexplicable loss at home to Maryland it'll be risking life and limb today to get back on track. Thankfully for the ‘Horns, The Golden Hurricane come to town. Everything points to a lop-sided blowout in this one.

The teams: Tulsa nearly fell to FCS school Central Arkansas last Saturday, needing a fourth quarter come from behind effort to beat the Bears 38-27. QB Luke Skipper was 15 of 24 for 196 yards and two TD's. The last time the Golden Hurricane faced a Big 12 team it didn't go too well though, falling 59-26 at No. 10 Oklahoma State last season.

Texas' late rally fell short last week. QB Same Ehlinger had 263 yards and two TD's. He also had two INT's. It was an all around uncharacteristically sloppy game for the Longhorns, also suffering ten penalties for 102 yards.

The pick: I think it's impossible for Texas to play that horribly again though. I'l point out at as well that Texas has not opened 0-2 since 1992. Look for the ‘Horns to settle down at home and to take advantage of this suspect Golden Hurricanes' defense. Lay the points.
