Sam Pittman have a task to deliver tomorrow Texas Longhorns ready to continue in their victory

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns are venturing into hostile territory this week heading into Fayetteville to take on Sam Pittman’s Arkansas Razorbacks. Following a win against the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs losing in Oxford, the Longhorns once again control their own destiny as they look to make it to Atlanta to compete for the SEC championship on their maiden voyage in their new conference.

Three years ago, the Longhorns made the trip to Fayetteville and walked away licking their wounds, as they were handed a 40-21 loss at the hands of the Razorbacks in Steve Sarkisian’s first year at the helm in Austin. The Longhorns would love more than to get some sweet revenge and continue down the path to Atlanta.

Lets take a look at some of the key matchups to keep an eye on heading into Saturday against the Hogs.

The Longhorns offense led by quarterback Quinn Ewers ranks 10th in the country in passing offense, averaging 301.1 yards per game through the air. Meanwhile, the Razorbacks defense ranks 124th in the country in passing yards allowed, as they are on average allowing 266.2 yards per game, giving up 2,396 passing yards on the year.

In their last matchup against OIe Miss, Arkansas got absolutely shredded by Jaxson Dart to the tune of 515 yards and six touchdowns with 254 of those yards going to Jordan Watkins along with five of the touchdowns. Watkins has played the role of Ole Miss’ WR2, but has played a larger role with their WR1 Tre Harris being out due to injury.
