In a little more than two weeks, Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian will kick off the 2023 season at home at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium against the Rice Owls. Sep. 2 is the day that Texas fans are waiting for to see this team with conference title aspirations.
Texas received high marks in the major preseason polls and the Big 12 media voting. The Longhorns were voted atop the media’s Big 12 preseason poll. And the Longhorns ranked No. 11 in the preseason AP Poll, its highest mark in that poll since the 2019 season.
