In today’s marquee matchup, #6 LSU visits #9 Texas for the biggest game in Austin in nearly a decade. I got to experience ESPN’s “College Gameday” in Austin, a college football fan’s dream! Seeing the show I’d woken up every Saturday morning to watch on TV in person is a moment I’ll never forget, even if Lee Corso picked LSU.
What I know is the Longhorns are hungry to officially “be back” in the championship picture. A primetime game against an SEC powerhouse in front of a raucous home crowd and national audience is the perfect opportunity to prove you’re back. I expect the Longhorns, 6.5 point home underdogs, to upset the Bayou Bengals and make a big statement to the rest of the country.
