COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Texas is 5-8 ATS L13 vs. non-conf. teams. They faced Wyoming in 2010, and defeated them 34-7 but didn’t cover the 27.5. Texas is a huge fave again and that number is once again inflated for a team still looking for an offensive identity. Texas QB David Ash takes over as QB and he has his work cut out for him. He threw six interceptions last year with no touchdown passes in his final five regular season games. The Longhorns will have to rely on their defense, which could have trouble against a Wyoming team that returns a solid soph. QB in Brett Smith. Smith threw for 2,622 yds with 20 TDs and 11 picks, while rushing for 710 yds and 10 TDs. This team finished 8-4 last year and is very underrated.
