LSUDad Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 LSU-Texas kickoff time, TV channel announced ByBILLY EMBODY 2 hours ago Share0 Comments When LSU and Texas meet in Austin on Saturday, Sept. 7, it'll be on national television at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC as a part of its Saturday Night Football package, the schools and ESPN announced on Wednesday via Twitter. The two programs are coming off New Year's Six bowl game wins in the 2018 season and it could be a matchup of Top 10 teams in the early season rankings. The LSU-Texas contest will be the first regular-season meeting between the teams since 1954 when the Longhorns and Tigers squared off in Austin. LSU and Texas last met in the 2003 Cotton Bowl in Dallas with the Longhorns posting a 35-20 win over the Tigers. Texas makes the return trip to Tiger Stadium in 2020. To open the 2019 season, Ed Orgeron's squad faces Georgia Southern in Tiger Stadium on Aug. 31 before making the trip over to play Tom Herman's Longhorns. Then athletic director Joe Alleva said when the LSU-Texas matchup was announced that it was a positive for both programs to get this game scheduled. Alleva has since been transitioned to an advisor role and Scott Woodward was hired away from Texas A&M by LSU as the new athletic director. "This is going to be a great two-game series for both programs," Alleva said of the LSU-Texas matchup. "The national attention and the excitement that will come with a game of this magnitude that early in the season will be unmatched. We look forward to renewing a long-standing rivalry with Texas."
