Among the nation’s marquee non-conference games during the 2019 college football regular season sits Texas football and the LSU Tigers. ESPN ranked the best 10 non-conference games for the upcoming season earlier this week, and the Texas football program was a figurehead on this list amid a few other Big 12 programs.
For the better part of the next 15 years, Texas football has marquee matchups lined up during the non-conference slate pretty much each season. Texas football gets LSU during a home-and-home non-conference series for the next two seasons. After that, it will be the Alabama Crimson Tide that are the next big time SEC West program on tap for Texas football.
