Texas Longhorns Continue Major Non-Conference Matchups

The Texas Longhorns, currently ranked No. 15, will face the Texas Tech Red Raiders in their second game of the Las Vegas Classic, aiming for their eighth consecutive win. Both teams enter the matchup after victories, with the Longhorns narrowly winning 10-9 over their previous opponent, while the Red Raiders secured a 10-6 win after a dramatic ninth inning. In addition, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte recently affirmed the Longhorns' commitment to scheduling high-profile non-conference games, including future matchups against Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. Del Conte emphasized that Texas's brand should compete against the best in college football, reflecting a strategy to enhance their competitive profile. The upcoming game against Ohio State in 2025 is anticipated to be a significant clash, coinciding with the start of the Arch Manning era. As the Longhorns continue to engage in challenging matchups, ticket prices for such events are also on the rise.
