• Florida (1-3) is coming off a 7-26 beating agianst the Miami Hurricanes.
• Last meeting amongst these two had the Longhorns winning 49-17 against the Gators.

Texas and Manning Look for Strong SEC Debut

The Texas Longhorns will be relying on their star quarterback, Arch Manning, one of the top candidates for this year’s Heisman Trophy. He’ll be looking to connect once again with Parker Livingstone, who has already caught three touchdown passes from him this season.

Texas is making its SEC debut and wants to prove it belongs among the conference’s elite. Their previous game — a win against Sam Houston — served as the perfect opportunity to fine-tune strategies ahead of this week’s matchup.

Gators Looking for Redemption

The Florida Gators aren’t having the best of times this season, currently stuck in a three-game losing streak. They enter this matchup as slight underdogs and will need to step up in a big way. QB DJ Lagway has thrown more interceptions (6) than touchdown passes (5), which has been a major factor in Florida’s recent struggles.

Florida desperately needs a win today to try and save its season — it’s a now-or-never type of scenario. After facing Texas, they’ll have to go through Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Georgia, making this matchup even more crucial.
