There is a very Texas-centric flavor to this season’s non-conference schedule, what with Texas only venturing outside the friendly confines of the Lone Star State twice before 2019. It’s a stark contrast to the Australia - Portland - Virginia schedule of last season, where the Longhorns put in more frequent flier miles than a football offensive coordinator search. What, too soon? Texas spends a lot of time in Austin this year, and while the two biggest names Texas plays happen in the city where most of us lost a stack of high society and gained a medical situation requiring regular topical cream treatments - yep, alright, definitely too soon - there are still some games of note happening in the Drum.
