Texas football is taking a tumble and is struggling to get back on track. 

The Longhorns (4-2, 1-2 SEC) lost two straight games to unranked opponents, Oklahoma and Florida, 27-24. Now, No. 19 Texas has a tough test against a rolling Ole Miss squad. 

The Rebels are coming off a a 31-3 win over Missouri. >The Tigers had previously dominated Texas A&M and Florida by a combined score 72-23.< Ole Miss’ only blemish on the season was a 52-28 loss to Florida. While there may be questions about Arch Manning as the starting quarterback for Texas, Trinidad Chambliss is staunchly holding strong as the Rebels’ QB1. Chambliss has 1,676 yards and 14 touchdowns and he is third favorite to win the Heisman Trophy behind Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Miami’s Darian Mensah, according to DraftKings. 

A national audience will watch as UT tries to right the ship. Here is how to watch Saturday’s game:
