San Jose State at Texas Preview & Picks
San Jose State at Texas Preview & Picks
Texas are tipped to rally from the season-opening defeat with a blowout win.
The Longhorns defense should have few issues slowing down San Jose State, while on the opposite side of the football, Arch Manning can have a bounce-back performance as the hosts run away with it.
- Texas are 13-1in their last 14 home games
- Texas are 4-2-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a home double digit favorite
- San Jose State are 1-3-0 ATS in their last 4 games against ranked teams
Head To Head
- Texas lead the all-time series 1-0
- Texas won 56-0 when the two teams last met in September 2017
San Jose State Form
San Jose State head to Texas on the back of a narrow season-opening defeat just over a week ago.
The Spartans kicked off the season with a non-conference game at home, and were beaten 16-14 by visiting Central Michigan.
The loss was a far cry from last season when they opened the campaign with three consecutive victories.
In fact, 2024 turned out to be a pretty successful year for San Jose State as they won seven of their 12 games to earn a bowl invite.
The Spartans were unable to wrap up the season with a bowl game success though, as they were beaten 41-39 by South Florida in the Hawaii Bowl.
Texas Form
Texas go into their home opener looking to issue an immediate response to last weekend’s defeat.
The Longhorns entered the season as the favourites to win the National Championship, but put up just one touchdown as they were beaten 14-7 at defending champions Ohio State.
Arch Manning struggled in the first game of his first year as starting quarterback, and the pressure is already on heading into this matchup.
Texas came into the season looking to better a 2024 campaign that saw them go 11-2, before losing the SEC Championship Game to Georgia, 22-19.
The Longhorns rallied in the playoffs to beat Clemson 38-24 and Arizona State 39-31, but saw their national championship dream end with a 28-14 loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.
Verdict
Arch Manning and the Texas offense failed to live up to the hype against Ohio State.
However, they are still many, many levels above San Jose State, so we expect to see a response from the Longhorns.
