ARK @ TEX

Texas arrives off a late escape

Texas beat LSU 22-21 on November 14, 2026, as Arch Manning’s touchdown pass to Raleek Brown with three seconds left capped the game-winning drive and kept the Longhorns’ late-season momentum alive.

Arkansas got a timely response

Arkansas beat South Carolina 34-6 on November 14, 2026; KJ Jackson threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns, and Chris Marshall had a touchdown catch.

Turnovers are a notable Texas concern

Manning threw three interceptions against LSU on November 14, while Arkansas also forced four turnovers, making ball security a key matchup detail.

Texas availability reporting has updates

Although a Week 12 tracker listed no reported injuries as of November 14, recent Texas coverage reported one player upgraded to probable after a bicep tear and two others set to play at LSU.

Austin hosts the afternoon kickoff

The November 21, 2026 game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Central at Texas’s home stadium, with ABC or ESPN listed for the broadcast.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Texas moneyline, price-sensitive

Texas is the lean, but compare sportsbook prices rather than treating Kalshi’s roughly 90% November 15, 2026 implied win chance as a moneyline.

Wait for a posted spread and total

No spread, total, or moneyline was listed as of November 15, 2026; wait for posted lines and clearer availability rather than guessing at a number.
