It's Game Day: No. 6 LSU at No. 9 Texas

It’s a historic contest for both teams, their first regular season meeting since a 1954 matchup in Austin. The Tigers and the Longhorns have met just once since LSU’s 13-0 win in the 1963 Cotton Bowl, with Texas holding a 9-7-1 all-time lead in the rivalry. It’s also the first clash of top-10 opponents on the road for LSU since a 1970 trip to South Bend against Notre Dame.

The Tigers are coming off a 55-3 season-opening win over Georgia Southern that saw quarterback Joe Burrow continue where left off a season ago – re-writing the LSU record book. After completing 23-of-27 passes for 278 yards and a school-record-tying five touchdown passes, Burrow became the first quarterback in LSU history to complete 20 or more passes in four straight games.
