However, Gordon hasn’t met a defensive front as stingy and ferocious as the Texas unit that will be lining up across from him. The Longhorns defense is allowing just 2.93 yards per rush attempt. That’s third-best in the nation. Allowing 84.0 rushing yards per game, Texas ranks #4 in that category.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Texas duo of T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy II grade out as the top two interior defensive linemen in college football.
Longhorns Need Decisive Win To Make CFP
From the Texas standpoint, winning might not be enough to gain the ultimate prize – one of four coveted spots in the CFP. Depending upon how other conference championship games play out this weekend, the Longhorns may need a decisive statement win over the Cowboys to reign in one of those four spots.

The problem they may face is that the favorite has failed to cover in six successive Oklahoma State vs Texas games. Only one of the past eight meetings resulted in more than a one-score decision for the winner.
Oklahoma State vs Texas Prediction
The Cowboys have faced one ranked team previously this season. They beat arch-rival Oklahoma 27-24 in bedlam.
By contrast, Texas is 1-1 vs ranked teams. However, the loss suffered by the Longhorns was to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma State is 4-1 ATS in the school’s last five Big 12 games and the last five times facing Texas. The Cowboys won’t be winning this game, but could very well keep it close enough to cover.
