No. 6 LSU (1-0) at No. 9 Texas (1-0)

When and where: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 at Royal Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.

On the air: ABC with Reece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor.

Outlook: THIS is the other big game of the weekend as the Tigers and Longhorns square up for ABC’s night game. Neither team had much of a struggle in their season openers as LSU beat up on Georgia Southern, 55-3, and Texas dominated Louisiana Tech, 45-14. This could be a battle of quarterbacks as Texas’ Sam Ehlinger had four touchdowns and 276 yards on 28-for-28 passing. LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was equally impressive with five touchdowns and 278 yards on 23-for-27 passing.

The Last Line: Too close to call. Both teams are solid and have the potential to be explosive. This could be one of the best games this season.
