Texas Longhorns 2014 betting odds had this team at 70-1 to win the National Championship at BetDSI.com, where you can claim up to $2500 in free cash here. Be sure to scroll down to check out BetDSI.com’s predictions for the Longhorns upcoming season.
These Longhorns were expected to win 7 or fewer games on the season.
Texas has a big question at quarterback and very little experience on the offensive line so it could be a tough first year for Charlie Strong as head coach, BetDSI.com notes. The current starting quarterback is slated to be David Ash, for whom BetDSI.com believes is quite fragile.
The running game is solid with Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron and Johnathan Gray and there are a lot of good receivers including Jaxon Shipley. The offensive line must replace three starters from last year.
The Texas Longhorns defense should be pretty good as they have a solid front led by Cedric Reed and an excellent linebacker in Jordan Hicks and the secondary is loaded with talent.
In regard to the schedule, things won’t be easy for the Longhorns, Scout.com suggests.
Which Texas team will show up under Charlie Strong? Who knew the Longhorns would be so miserable against BYU? They'll get their shot in the rematch in Austin after starting out the year against North Texas, and then comes the real test facing a loaded UCLA team in Arlington.
It would've been nice to get a week off somewhere in the middle of the season, but instead Texas gets a break after UCLA and before a layup at Kansas. Baylor comes to Darrell K. Royal and Iowa State is part of the first part of the Big 12 slate, but with the showdown against Oklahoma in Dallas, there are only two home games between October 4th and Thanksgiving weekend. Three road games come in four weeks – going to Kansas State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State – before getting a week off to rest up for TCU.
