The 2019 regular season opener for the Texas football program will come against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs under the lights at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Aug. 31. This should be one of the more underrated games between a Group of Five team and one ranked inside the AP Top 10 in Week 1. Texas and Louisiana Tech should both be contenders in their respective conferences this fall. Granted the Big 12 is much more difficult to win than the Conference-USA.
Louisiana Tech is coming off an 8-5 season with a win over the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl.
