With the upcoming college football season, every team has aspirations of competing in the four team playoff. The hope is to become the National Champions. Last season the LSU Tigers went on an improbable run as they ran the table en route to the championship. Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports recently broke down 10 games that could be the most impactful for the playoff. Two of the team games involves the Texas Longhorns.
10. Texas at LSU Sept 12
No, this isn’t a paragraph about Texas being back. Nobody should fall into that trap until Texas proves that it is, indeed, back. For LSU, though, it’s a wildly-intriguing game. The Tigers have had massive roster turnover, a shakeup in the coaching staff and the elimination of spring practice because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they’re going to go into a massive game with a Longhorns team that will have revenge on their minds in Week 2? Sign me up.
This game without question is going to be one of the biggest non conference games to kick off the college football season. The Longhorns have been consistently touted through various media outlets preseason Top 15 teams. The LSU Tigers are the defending champions and will be a top team as well. Not only a big test for the Longhorns in terms of who they are playing but a win in Baton Rouge would do wonders for the psyche of the team and confidence in themselves and the new staff. Circle this game on your calendars.
