Texas’ receivers will be tested early against talented Louisiana Tech secondary

Earlier this week, Louisiana Tech team captain safety L’Jarius Sneed set the tone for Saturday’s game with some pregame chatter directed towards the Texas Longhorns wide receivers.

As if they needed some extra motivation before their final season opener, senior wide receivers Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay have a big task at-hand facing an experienced Louisiana Tech Bulldogs secondary. Last season, as a defensive unit, La Tech ranked 29th in the nation in pass defense, allowing just 193.6 yards per game. This is shaping up to be a nice tune-up matchup for the Texas offense before they face LSU.
