Texas has two bye weeks breaking up the schedule into thirds: Play four, bye, play four, bye, play last four.
Tech @ Texas is on the Friday after T-Day giving Texas a short six day week, but Tech is in same boat. However, that gives Texas an extra day rest if they make the Big 12 championship game. OU plays bedlam game on Saturday.
LSU at home second game of the season. I would rather it be the third but better than the first. Texas opening games last two years has been full of bugs, especially on defense and they have needed a week or two to get going. Also, Texas will be breaking in basically a new defense and possibly with a new coordinator. The D is losing: Nelson, Omenihu, Hager, Gary Johnson, Wheeler, Boyd, D. Davis, Locke. That's almost the entire starting Dline and LB's plus half the secondary.
