The Steve Sarkisian era at Texas is quickly approaching.
Although numerous Big 12 Conference games do not have a kickoff time, we at least know the dates and opponents each week.
The Longhorns open the 2021 college football season at home against a solid Louisiana squad, then have to travel to face Arkansas the following week. However, their toughest slate of games is arguably in early October when Texas will face TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in consecutive weeks.
Fortunately for the Longhorns, they’ll get a bye after that stretch of games before they prepare to close the season. The Big 12 will be home to a handful of programs this year that have a realistic chance of being ranked at the conclusion of the season.
Although Texas has a new coaching staff in place, there’s little room for error and they’ll be tested right off the bat.
