The start time for the opener of the series between the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and South Carolina Gamecocks has already been changed twice with Saturday’s season opener now scheduled for noon Central and a double-header beginning at 12:30 p.m. Central to follow on Sunday.
Saturday’s game will mark the seventh all-time meeting between the two programs, with Texas currently undefeated — the Longhorns swept the Gamecocks in Austin last season and also have three wins over South Carolina in Omaha, including wins for national titles in 1975 and 2002.
South Carolina sits at 7-4 on the season in the midst of a four-game losing streak that includes a series sweep by Clemson and a 15-7 midweek demolition by a 4-9 Xavier team that started its season with nine straight losses.
