Saturday night, 7:30, primetime.

The college football game of the week featured two top ten out of conference opponents: the LSU Tigers and the Texas Longhorns. In one of the most anticipated games of the early college football season that could determine who makes the playoffs, the No. 9 ranked Longhorns hosted the No. 6 ranked Tigers.

Things got chippy before the game even started with each of the teams arguing about who is DBU (defensive back university).

LSU started the game out with a field goal and then held Texas scoreless on two goal-line stands. One drive ended in a dropped pass in the endzone on fourth down.

Texas finally put points on the board with a 60-yard touchdown from Brennan Eagles.

The Tigers responded with 17 unanswered points going up 20-7 at halftime. Wideout Justin Jefferson had a huge 61-yard touchdown to break open the game.

Texas attempted a comeback, but it was too late. LSU had taken down No. 9 ranked Texas on the road, 45-38.

LSU QB Joe Burrow had a phenomenal game with 471 yards and four touchdowns. Three different LSU receivers had over 100-yards including Justin Jefferson’s nine receptions for 163 yards and three touchdowns.

Texas QB Sam Ehlinger also had himself a four-touchdown day.

It was a tough loss that Texas will have to bounce back from to have a successful season.
