If Arch Manning and Co. can get into a groove early, things could finally go well for a Texas offense that's been struggling mightily in 2025 so far. The defense also needs to find a way to pressure whoever ends up starting at quarterback for the Sooners, John Mateer or Michael Hawkins Jr.

An injury update to Mateer was just released, and it looks like there's a decent chance that he could play on Saturday, unfortunately for the Longhorns.

The game is currently set to kickoff at 2:30 pm CST/3:30 pm EST on ABC.
