The Longhorns are packing their bags for Knoxville, and Jeff Howe and C.J. Vogel go through a five-item travel checklist to see whether Texas has what it takes to win its SEC opener at Tennessee. Can the Horns win the line of scrimmage when their run game has averaged just 72 yards per game in SEC play? Is the situational football good enough on third down, in the red zone and in the two-minute drill? That's been shaky all season, and Steve Sarkisian's fourth-down aggressiveness could decide the game. The guys also dig into a steady kicking game and a mostly clean penalty sheet from the offensive line.
The last and biggest question: do you trust your quarterback and your head coach on the road? Arch Manning has already won in some of college football's toughest stadiums and led a 20-point fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State. Still, Texas scored only 10 points in five road first quarters last year, so a fast start in front of 100,000+ at Neyland could make all the difference. Four boxes get checked and one doesn't. Is that enough to get Texas into the bye week undefeated and set up a big Red River showdown? Presented by PrizePicks (code HMA) and Advanced Pain Care.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers debate whether the concern surrounding Arch Manning has become overblown. Although Arch is 11-1 across his last 12 starts, his recent accuracy outside the numbers and on deep throws has created legitimate questions. The panel explains how Steve Sarkisian can help his quarterback with easier completions, more creative formations and play designs that consistently scheme Texas’ receivers open.
The crew also reveals the winning formula Texas should embrace in its SEC opener at Tennessee: establish the power running game, avoid third-and-long and let Will Muschamp’s defense set the tone. With the Volunteers vulnerable to explosive runs, can Sark attack Jim Knowles’ defense on the ground and use Arch as the complementary playmaker Texas needs to escape Knoxville with a victory?
