It is finally here; the Texas football program and new head coach Steve Sarkisian are gearing up for the regular season opener this coming weekend. Texas is set to open up the regular season slate on Sep. 4 at home against the No. 23 ranked Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. No. 21 ranked Texas will have a true battle on its hands this coming weekend against Louisiana.

Sark and the Longhorns are set to face one of the best Group of Five teams in the entire country in the Ragin’ Cajuns, as nearly double-digit favorites in the betting line. Texas will have to put its best foot forward against a good Louisiana team to come out with a win in Week 1.

Louisiana returns one of the most experienced teams not just in the Group of Five, but the entire country this fall. More than 20 returning starters on both sides of the ball will put the Longhorns to the test this week.

This looks to be one of the most experienced teams the Longhorns will face this season. That is definitely true of the regular season slate.

There are position groups on both sides of the ball for the Cajuns that Sark and the Longhorns will have to prepare extra diligently for. Weak points don’t exist in many spots for Louisiana this fall.
