The biggest non-conference showdown of any Big 12 team set for the fall will come in Week 2 on Sep. 7 between Texas football and the LSU Tigers. With that in mind, current and former players could be constantly searching for bragging rights until Sep. 7 comes around and this Texas football team and LSU are taking the field at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium under the lights.
However, it was the former Texas Longhorns star wide receiver and potential 2020 Summer Olympian Marquise Goodwin that was torching LSU competition during the NFL offseason. Goodwin lit the rest of the field on fire over the weekend. Marquise Goodwin
