Texas Football: 5 thoughts after drubbing of Louisiana Tech

5. Sam Ehlinger vs. Joe Burrow should be amazing

The way that LSU looked against the Georgia Southern Eagles inspires confidence in all college football fans that the Week 2 showdown with Texas football will live up to every bit of the hype. ESPN’s College GameDay will be back on the Forty Acres for the first time in a decade for that matchup between the Longhorns and LSU.

In the Week 1 win over Louisiana Tech, junior Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger put on a show with more than 300 total yards from scrimmage and four passing touchdowns with no picks. Ehlinger was big both with his arm and legs against a struggling Bulldogs defense.

Meanwhile, senior LSU quarterback Joe Burrow literally one-upped Ehlinger in his 55-3 dismantling of Georgia Southern. He registered a completion percentage well over 75 percent with five passing touchdowns and no picks. The passing games for LSU and Texas should have plenty of confidence heading into Week 2 as they both got rolling in their respective season openers.

Burrow and Ehlinger will highlight the single biggest matchup in Week 2 around the country. The No. 12 ranked Texas A&M Aggies facing the top ranked Clemson Tigers next Saturday afternoon will make for a very entertaining lineup of games. Texas and LSU will be fighting for further positioning in the College Football Playoff.
