Texas given six-day selection on Kansas State kickoff time

We won’t know the time of the K-State kickoff until after BYU.

The Texas Longhorns (6-1) take on the BYU Cougars (5-2) this week. We know the time for that game. We don’t know the time for next week’s game.

Texas and Kansas State, along with four other Big 12 games, were given a six-day selection for the announced kickoff time. The University of Texas issued the following announcement.

“Kickoff for Texas Football’s Saturday, Nov. 4 home game against Kansas State was announced as a six-day selection by the Big 12 Conference on Monday. The official announcement for network and game time will be made after this weekend’s games have been completed.”

Several games will vie for a premier time slot. One would imagine the final Bedlam game of the foreseeable future between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would receive preferential treatment. It’s unclear where that preferential treatment would slot the two teams.

Texas could see a night game selection, but will have to wait for that to be revealed. The Longhorns take on BYU this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
