Texas has the better roster in this matchup and the Longhorns will be able to run the ball much better this week than versus Georgia. I expect the Texas defense to be the X-factor here, though -- as usual.

Travis Galey (11-2)
The path for a Clemson victory is simple. Texas turnovers lead to short field drives for Cade Klubnik and Phil Mafah. Even then, Clemson has to hope that Texas' offense remains stuck in the mud and has to settle for field goals (or worse).
That's how the upset could happen.
It won't.
Texas' defense carries the day and ruins Klubnik's homecoming. He ends up passing for fewer than 150 yards on the day and throws two picks.
Texas 27 – Clemson 10
Geoff Ketchum (11-2)
Texas has more Jimmys and Joes on both sides of the ball. Texas delivers a very good performance.
Texas 29 - Clemson 13
Anwar Richardson (12-1)
Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik is returning to Austin but it will not be the homecoming he enjoys. Texas is ranked third nationally in total defense, third in interceptions (19), and second in points allowed (12.5 per game). Klubnik is a mobile quarterback but this Longhorn defense has neutralized every passer with legs this season. Clemson needs to create multiple turnovers and a Longhorn defensive breakdown to pull off an upset.
Good luck with that.

Texas is the better team on paper and my matchups tells me the Longhorns should win by double digits. But Clemson has the ability to follow Georgia’s blueprint and take away the running game and pressure the quarterback. Do that, and the game could be close. Regardless, I think the Longhorns get a comfortable win.
