Just like in 2014, the Texas Longhorns are headed to NRG Stadium in Houston to play in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl against the Missouri Tigers. The game will kick off at 8:00 p.m. CT on Wednesday, December 27.
The ‘Horns will enter the game with a 6-6 record and without at least two key starters, as junior left tackle Connor Williams and junior safety DeShon Elliott both declared for the 2018 NFL Draft last week. At the least, linebacker Malik Jefferson is expected to join his former teammates in leaving early and skipping the bowl game.
