San Jose State Spartans @ Texas Longhorns Preview

The Texas Longhorns, despite being national championship favorites at +700 odds, are looking to bounce back after a tough 14-7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 1. Much of the focus will be on quarterback Arch Manning, who had a challenging season debut, completing 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, along with 38 rushing yards. His Heisman Trophy odds have seen a dip, but this home game against San Jose State presents an opportunity for him to regain form. Coach Steve Sarkisian is known for his offensive prowess, and with a top-ranked recruiting class, the Longhorns are expected to be a formidable force this season.

On the other side, the San Jose State Spartans are coming off a 16-14 loss to Central Michigan in their last outing. They face a significant challenge against a Texas team eager to prove its dominance, especially at home. The Spartans are listed at a distant +200000 to win the National Championship, highlighting the disparity between these two programs.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The provided research does not contain specific historic head-to-head results between the San Jose State Spartans and the Texas Longhorns.

Pick: Under 52.0 Total Points

Despite the significant spread favoring Texas, the Under 52.0 total points at [ -117 on BetRivers] appears to be a compelling pick. Texas's Week 1 game against Ohio State was a low-scoring affair, ending 14-7. Arch Manning's performance suggests the Longhorns might focus on a more controlled offensive approach to build his confidence, rather than an all-out aerial assault. Similarly, San Jose State's last game against Central Michigan also saw a low total score of 30 points (16-14 loss). While Texas is expected to win comfortably, a large lead could lead to the Longhorns pulling key offensive players early, which would naturally limit the total points scored. Given both teams' recent low-scoring tendencies and the potential for Texas to manage the game once a lead is established, the Under seems like a strong play.
