The Texas Longhorns and Colorado State Rams open up the regular season in Austin on Saturday.
Texas officially kicks off its first season in the SEC and the fourth year under head coach Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns are coming off of their first-ever College Football Playoff berth and will now be looking to get back to that point by starting off with a non-conference win over the Rams.
Sarkisian praised CSU coach Jay Norvell and the Rams offense, which is led by quarterback and receiver Tory Horton.

“They know their system really well," Sarkisian said. "And then, because when you know your system well, they know the answers to the test when you try to give them a different look. So I think it’s important for us to be tighter in coverage, try to affect the quarterback, and then having the ability to mix things up, to try to create a little bit of hesitation."
