This is a key time for Texas football recruiting for the 2019 class. Around only one week remains until the Longhorns take to FedEx Field to battle the Maryland Terrapins in the season opener. The opening weekend of college football promises a few big entertaining matchups across Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Labor Day Weekend has been huge for the past three years in terms of national impact.
However, the Horns do have one of the more impactful season openers played against two Power Five teams. Last season, it was Texas and Maryland that drew some national attention in the first game on the Forty Acres under the direction of head football coach Tom Herman.
