Texas Longhorns SEC Championship Betting Lines
The Texas Longhorns were riding high on October 19 when they hosted the Georgia Bulldogs in one of the biggest and most anticipated games ever at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium in prime time. Texas was a 4-point home favorite but was outclassed in a 30-15 loss that humbled the Horns. On Saturday, Texas gets a second bite at the apple in the SEC Championship Game from Atlanta. The Horns have not lost since that disappointing night against the Dawgs. Now, the question is if Texas is good enough to take advantage of its second chance.

The Texas Longhorns are on their way to Atlanta for the SEC Championship.
After a hard-fought battle at Kyle Field, Texas has won the first SEC edition of the Lone Star Showdown, taking down the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station.
But it wasn't easy.
Texas started slowly offensively, unable to capitalize on their first drive of the game. However, following a Michael Taaffe interception in Texas A&M territory, the Longhorns found life, marching down the field for a scoring drive that was capped off by an Arch Manning touchdown run.
After forcing a quick Aggies punt, the Horns were on the board again, with quarterback Quinn Ewers hitting running back Jaydon Blue in the corner of the end zone, giving Texas a two-score lead in the first half.
The Horns forced another three and out from the Aggies offense on the next possession, putting Texas A&M on the ropes early. They then took advantage yet again, hitting a field goal to take a three-score lead before the half.
However, in the second half, things got a bit dicey for Texas.
The Horns had a chance to take a commanding lead on two separate occasions, but two turnovers stymied both possessions, one of which resulted in an Aggies pick-six.
But that was the end of the road for the Aggies, who were unable to mount any sort of offensive attack for the remainder of the game, thanks in large part to a sack-fumble by defensive end Trey Moore that led to a Longhorns recovery.
Offensively, the Longhorns leaned on the run game, amassing 240 yards on 50 carries, and 458 yards of total offense. The attack was led by Quentrevion Wisner, who finished the game with 33 carries for 186 yards.

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 rapidly declined and has never been close to reaching 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 caved to almost all of the Longhorns' demands. It caused karma that damaged the program and removed its hard edge.
