Texas at Arkansas odds, expert picks, betting trends: After impressive win, Bijan Robinson and Longhorns go on the road
By The Athletic College Football Sep 8, 2021 3
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.
