On Friday, the Texas Longhorns announced a number of additions to the non-conference football schedule in future years, including home-and-home series against the Florida Gators and Arizona State Wildcats, according to athletics director Chris Del Conte.
In the works since news broke about the potential matchups in April, Texas will travel to Gainesville to face Florida, with the return game schedule for the next season. The two programs have only met three times before, with the Horns holding a 2-0-1 advantage, but haven’t played since 1940. The trip to Gainesville will allow Texas to make an impression on recruits in the talent-laden Sunshine State, as well as continue a host of games scheduled against SEC powers, including Alabama, Georgia, and LSU.
