For the first time in nearly 50 years LSU will play an away game versus a top ten non-conference opponent in their own stadium.  Saturday night the Tigers face off against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas.

A matchup that pits No. 6 ranked LSU against No. 9 ranked Texas slated for a primetime kickoff at 6:30 on ABC.

Saturday’s game marks the second time that both teams play each other ranked in the top 10. The first time was in 1963 when No. 7 ranked LSU defeated No. 4 ranked Texas in the Cotton Bowl 13-0.
