My preseason prognostications on Mississippi State have borne out and consequently the Horns are a 38.5 point home favorite - a line not seen often in the Southeastern Conference. The SEC home opener for the Texas Longhorns could be a bit anticlimactic in terms of competition, but the Horns have demonstrated a mature and professional mindset in dealing with whatever opponent is offered and still playing to a standard.
