The Longhorns are on the road agaisnt the Tigers, in what is looming as a crucial SEC showdown for Sarkisian's team.

The Texas Longhorns will travel to face the Missouri Tigers on Saturday at Memorial Stadium with Steve Sarkisian's team fresh off a 31-3 win over Mississippi State. 

The Longhorns, at 6-2, have been up and down this season, but now comes the chance to stack wins together after a tough stretch, but the Tigers aren't going to be easy beats.

Also, at 6-2, the Tigers have won three out of their last four and are coming off a 34-10 win over Arkansas. 

So, this pits two teams who desperately need a win in the SEC.

Texas will be aiming for three wins in a row and, ideally, three straight games of scoring 30+ points with the offense, led by Arch Manning, often coming under fire for its inconsistent play throughout the season.

What better time to show the college football world than against the Tigers? With the likes of Daeden Hopkins (7.5 TFLs and 7.0 sacks) and Donta Simpson Jr. (6.5 TFLs and 6.0 sacks), the Tigers boast two defensive linemen who can wreak havoc on the Longhorns' offense.

For the Tigers on the other side of the ball, quarterback Austin Simmons has had a good start to the season, throwing for 1,952 yards, 16 TDs, and just two interceptions, with his best weapons being receivers Cayden Lee (756 yards, 5 TDs) and Donovan Olugbode (584 yards, 7 TDs).

Oh, but the Longhorns' defense can't forget about running back Jamal Roberts, who has already posted 1,005 rushing yards and 9 TDs, so this Tigers attack can rip you apart in multiple ways.

We know that Texas also has weapons in Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman (7 TDs), and Arch is going to need all of his weapons to do some serious damage if they are to walk out of Memorial Stadium with a win.
