AUSTIN, Texas — BEVO XV is all grown up and raring to go as the No. 4 Texas Longhorns open the 2024 season against the Colorado State Rams at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday with kickoff at 2:30 p.m. Central on ESPN.
Despite the season-ending injuries to running backs CJ Baxter and Christian Clark, the Longhorns have depth at the position and the most talented team in the four years Steve Sarkisian has been the head coach on the Forty Acres — the expectations are to compete for the SEC title as Texas moves to its new conference and to make the College Football Playoffs for a second straight year with the extra margin provided by the expanded format.
