With kickoff time now announced for Texas football and the Oklahoma Sooners in the 117th edition of the Red River Rivalry game, it looks like new head coach Steve Sarkisian will get yet another 11 a.m. start time. Texas will get an 11 a.m. kickoff for at least three weeks in a row, with the Big 12 opener against the Texas Tech Red Raiders last weekend also coming at 11 a.m. CT.
The kickoff time between the Longhorns and Sooners was confirmed in an official release on texassports.com on Sep. 27. Texas and Oklahoma usually do face each other with morning or afternoon kickoffs in the Red River Rivalry game, so this isn’t all that surprising.
