The Steve Sarkisian era at Texas will officially kick off on Sept. 4.
No. 21 Texas will host No. 23 Louisiana-Lafayette at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The hiring of Sarkisian and his staff have brought a breath of fresh air and excitement to the fans in Austin.
However, a tough task lies ahead of them. Facing a ranked program to kick off the season after new offensive and defensive schemes were implemented this offseason along with an inexperienced quarterback under center is a recipe for growing pains.
Louisiana is one of the most experienced teams in the country, returning 19 starters after finishing 10-1 last season. Ragin’ Cajun head coach Billy Napier isn’t your typical Group of Five coach either. Luckily for the Longhorns, they have a potential Heisman candidate at running back in Bijan Robinson to lean on.
Here’s how to tune in to the anticipated matchup on Saturday if you’re unable to attend the game.
