The showdown that every Texas football fan has been waiting for is finally here with the kick off against the USC Trojans coming on Sep. 15 to cap off the non-conference slate. This is the second straight year where the Longhorns and the Trojans will be facing off in Week 3. However, USC isn’t coming into this game with the same strength it was last year.
That’s just one factor that will be working in favor of the Horns compared to last season’s primetime battle with USC. The other is the fact that this matchup comes at homes for Texas football on the Forty Acres.
