On September 7, 2019, the eyes of the college football world were focused on Austin, Texas. LSU and Texas met in the fading but still fabulous trend of a true home-and-home matchup between marquee Power 5 schools.
We know what happened. LSU won a thriller, Joe Burrow had his first and arguably biggest Heisman moment on the now famed 3rd and 17 play and LSU rode the momentum of that week two win all the way to a national title.
As for Texas? Weelllllllll a shoulda coulda woulda game against LSU spiraled into another lackluster season. The Longhorns, who spent all summer telling us they were back, limped to an 8-5 season highlighted by a rough 2-4 stretch between Halloween and Thanksgiving.
