2025 Texas Longhorns Week 2 Betting Lines
Last week, the Texas Longhorns opened the 2025 season on the road in a College Football Playoff rematch against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The marquee matchup was one of the most eagerly anticipated of the weekend. Texas began the Arch Manning era with an embarrassing loss at The Shoe. Arch Manning went from being a Heisman Trophy favorite to a national punchline. Now, Texas and Manning will be looking to redeem themselves. This week brings what should be a low-key home opener against the San Jose State Spartans. It will take a few weeks and wins for Texas to live down its stink bomb opener.

Texas Longhorns Weekly Matchup
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the Texas Longhorns will host the San Jose State Spartans at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, TX. Kickoff is noon ET with television coverage on ABC or ESPN.
Last game, the San Jose State Spartans lost 16-14 against Central Michigan as 14-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 51.5.
Cade Graham kicked the go-ahead field goal with 4:13 left, and Central Michigan tipped aside San Jose's field goal attempt with just under three minutes left to earn a win in the season opener for both teams Friday night.
The victory made first-year coach Matt Drinkall a winner in his debut as Central Michigan's head coach. The former Army assistant was hired to replace the retired Jim McElwain in December. The loss snaps San Jose State's run of five straight wins in season openers at home.
Trailing 16-14, the Spartans drove to the Chippewas' 11-yard line, but the drive stalled, and Denis Lynch's 33-yard field goal attempt was tipped at the line of scrimmage and sailed wide. San Jose State had one last drive, and Lynch attempted a career-long field goal from 56 yards out, but it also sailed wide as time ran out.
Central Michigan built a 13-0 lead after Trey Cornist capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 29-yard run in the first quarter, and Graham kicked field goals from 34 and 28 yards out. Walker Eget answered with an 11-yard touchdown to Leland Smith in the second quarter to make it 13-7 at the half, then hit Danny Scudero for a 45-yard score early in the third quarter to take a 14-13 lead.
Nahree Biggins led Central Michigan with 103 yards on 18 carries, and Cornist added 13 carries for 99 yards and a score. The Chippewas had 51 total carries for 236 yards. Eget finished 24 of 43 for 308 yards and two touchdowns for the Spartans, but was picked off twice.
Texas Longhorns Weekly Recap
In their last game, the Texas Longhorns lost 14-7 to the Ohio State Buckeyes as 2-point road underdogs. The game went under the total of 46.5.
Texas entered the 2025 college football season as the No. 1 team in the country, and quarterback Arch Manning entered the season as the favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. That’s certainly not the case anymore.
Manning turned in an ugly performance for most of the game, and although he made a couple of big throws late in the fourth quarter, it was too little, too late, as Texas lost to Ohio State. Manning completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
The defense, called by new Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, the former Detroit Lions head coach, kept Manning in check all day. Although Manning had time to throw and open receivers, his passes were often off-target. Manning did make some plays with his legs and gained 38 rushing yards, but he also got stuffed on a crucial fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Texas has a total of four claimed and five unclaimed national championships. Their last title was in 2005, which was their first since 1970. This stunning fact indicates a good program, but hardly the juggernaut it considers itself to be. Texas has an impressive 32 conference championships.
Former head coach Mack Brown showed the potential of the Texas program. Brown led the Longhorns to the 2005 and 2009 national championship games. From 2001 through 2009, Brown led Texas to the final top ten national rankings six times.
Following a loss in the 2009 national championship game to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas's fortunes rapidly declined, and it has never since reached that level. Brown vehemently denies it, but the program turned soft in his final years. A sense of entitlement took over the program. In fact, Texas began being derided as the “tea sippers.”
Texas dominated the Big 12 Conference board room, which led to that sense of entitlement. ESPN gave the Longhorns their own network, and the Big 12 largely caved to the Longhorns' demands. It caused karma that damaged the program and removed its hard edge.
