[Texas Longhorns](https://profootballnewshub.com/ncaa/teams/texas-longhorns) ride a three-game win streak into Baton Rouge looking to knock off an [LSU Tigers](https://profootballnewshub.com/ncaa/teams/lsu-tigers) team coming off a loss.

Texas sits at 7-2 and has won three straight. LSU stands 6-3 and dropped its last outing, putting it on a one-game skid heading into Saturday night.

## Game details

- When | Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 7:30 PM ET
- Where | Tiger Stadium (LA)
- TV | ABC
- Line | LSU Tigers -4 | O/U 46.5 (market view)
- Texas Longhorns record | 7-2
- LSU Tigers record | 6-3

## The matchup

Texas has found its rhythm late in the year. The Longhorns beat Missouri Tigers 34-20 on the road, blanked Mississippi State Bulldogs 31-3 at home, and outlasted Ole Miss Rebels 34-27 before that. Before the streak started, Texas dropped back-to-back one-possession games to Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners, both by a field goal.

LSU's season has been more uneven. The Tigers lost 13-31 to Alabama Crimson Tide last week, but before that they strung together wins over Auburn Tigers (38-17) and Mississippi State Bulldogs (31-0). Sandwiched in there is a 34-35 loss to Kentucky Wildcats and a 63-14 blowout of McNeese Cowboys. LSU has scored 334 points on the season against 159 allowed, while Texas has put up 280 and given up 157.

## Key matchups

This one likely comes down to which offense travels better. LSU has the higher scoring output on the year, but the Tigers also let up more total yards worth of damage than their record might suggest given the Alabama result. Texas has been stingier defensively on a points-allowed basis and has shown it can win tight, low-scoring battles as well as blowouts, a range that should matter against an LSU team that hung 63 on McNeese but also managed just thirteen against Alabama.

With no injury report changing the picture, this likely plays out as a straightforward clash of LSU's higher-scoring attack against a Texas team that has figured out how to close games during its current streak.

## The pick

The market has LSU as a 4.0-point favorite with a total of 46.5, and the market score sits at LSU 25, Texas 21. That lines up with a home team trying to shake off a loss against a visitor that has won three in a row and has shown it can win close. Texas' recent streak and its tighter scoring margin give it a real shot to leave Tiger Stadium with a fourth straight win, even with LSU favored.
