The bookmakers are spotting Louisiana Tech Bulldogs nearly three touchdowns for their clash with the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, and I'm well happy to take the points on the underdog.

Note that the Bulldogs are on a solid 15-6 ATS run as an underdog under coach Skip Holtz while Texas is on a 3-9 ATS run as a favorite under coach Tom Herman.

Texas is coming off a solid double-digit victory campaign and returns Heisman Trophy hopeful Sam Ehlinger under center. Ehlinger has however lost his most reliable target, top wideout Lil'Jordan Humphrey, to the NFL and could be in for a tough one against a Bulldogs D that allowed just 191.6 passing yards per game last season.

8* play on Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.
