Stephen Nover's CFB Total of the Week
(NCAAF) Kansas State vs. Texas,
Total: 49.50 | -104.00 Over
Result: Loss
A makeshift offensive line and resurgent defense have made Texas a strong under team. The under has cashed in the Longhorns' last three games.

Texas is giving up only 11.3 points and less than 300 yards during its last three games, the last two having been against Iowa State and USC.

The Longhorns, though, are struggling offensively because they are without their two starting tackles, one of which is All-American Connor Williams. The Longhorns also are without Andrew Beck, their best blocking tight end. Texas quarterback Shane Buechele is back in action, but he's less than 100 percent due to a sprained ankle.

Kansas State ranks 15th in fewest points allowed at 15 per game. The Wildcats also are 21st in total defense.

The last four meetings in this series have gone under, including the one last year in which Kansas State won, 24-21.
