Texas Football: Kickoff times set for three nonconference games

The Week 2 matchup of Texas-Alabama is sure to feel like a sauna.

Kickoff times and television selections for Texas’ three nonconference games were released on Thursday.

As expected, the highly anticipated matchup between Texas and Alabama in Week 2 will kick off at 11 a.m. CT on FOX. The early afternoon start time will likely be an uncomfortably hot football game as temperatures could be close to triple-digits in Austin.

In regards to the season opener on Sept. 3, the Longhorns will officially begin their 2022 season at 7 p.m. CT against Louisiana-Monroe on Longhorn Network.

To close out the nonconference schedule, Texas will host UTSA for another night game at 7 p.m. CT, Sept. 17 on Longhorn Network.

Other notable schedule news that surfaced on Thursday involves the Red River Showdown against Oklahoma on Oct. 8. ABC is expected to carry this rivalry game, and fans should expect the usual 11 a.m. CT timeslot.
