Ole Miss vs Texas Prediction

Give me Texas here, although I don’t think they are going to win this game. Texas is a strong offensive team overall this season averaging 78.9 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Ole Miss probably has the offense to win this game, but this is too many points for them to lay. It’s going to come down to the final seconds. Back Texas against the spread.
