Texas Football: Longhorns win totals for the 2020 season
The Vegas over/under win totals for the 2020 college season are set, and the Texas football program wasn’t at a double-digit number of wins.
If it is even able to start on time, the 2020 regular season for the Texas football program is going to bring a lot of hype along with it. Texas has a head coach in Tom Herman that is coming in with his back against the wall in his fourth year (he tends to thrive in this role) and a rising senior quarterback in Sam Ehlinger that could be a Heisman finalist.
Facing a key season ahead, the Texas Longhorns football program got a good look at what Vegas thinks about their chances at success in 2020. The Vegas over/under win totals for the 2020 college football season were released last weekend (April 6). And the Longhorns got a fairly usual betting line for the upcoming season.
The Longhorns held an over/under win total of nine wins. That was good for second best in the Big 12, behind the rival Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma had an over/under set at 10 wins. The next best in the Big 12 was the Oklahoma State Cowboys, with their over/under set at 8.5 wins.

The lowest win totals were given to the Kansas Jayhawks (3.5) and the West Virginia Mountaineers (5.5). Other significant betting lines also included the TCU Horned Frogs (6.5) and the Baylor Bears (8).
However, this is a pretty pedestrian betting line compared to how expectations stack up in the Big 12 for the coming season. Oklahoma is anticipated to win the Big 12 Championship yet again. Texas and Oklahoma State are figured to be the two other challengers, since Baylor lost former head coach Matt Rhule to the NFL.
Texas has a pretty fair line. Getting nine wins this coming season would be just one more than they had last year. Texas finished off their 2019 season with a record of 8-5 (5-4 Big 12) after beating the Utah Utes in the Alamo Bowl.

Set to open their 2020 season on Sep. 5 against the South Florida Bulls, the Longhorns will have a tough non-conference schedule. USF isn’t the main hurdle for the Longhorns in the non-con. That will come against the defending National Champion LSU Tigers in Week 2, on Sep. 12.
