The first SEC game for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin on Sept. 28 will be a six-day selection, the SEC announced on Monday.
Regardless of the specific time slot that the Longhorns end up in as the Bulldogs come to town — 2:30 p.m. Central or 3:15 p.m. Central — the game will be an afternoon kickoff with a high of 92 degrees forecast. The television carrier will be ABC, ESPN, or SEC Network.
The game time and television will be determined after next week’s games.
Under first-year head coach Jeff Lebby, Mississippi State is off to a 1-2 start with a 56-7 win over Eastern Kentucky in the season opener followed by a 30-23 loss to Arizona State and a shocking 41-17 defeat by Toledo.
