2023 college football season kicks off with an exciting matchup between the No. 11 Texas Longhorns and the Rice Owls on Saturday afternoon. Both teams have high hopes for the season ahead, each with their own goals and aspirations.
For the Longhorns, this season represents a chance to make history by earning their first-ever trip to the College Football Playoffs. In the previous year, Texas finished with a record of 8-5, and remarkably, all five of their losses were decided by just one possession. They are determined to turn those close defeats into victories this season and make a strong playoff push.
On the flip side, the Rice Owls had a different journey in 2022, finishing with a record of 5-8. However, they managed to secure a spot in a bowl game, which is always an achievement in college football. Unfortunately, their bowl appearance ended in disappointment as they fell to Southern Miss with a final score of 38-24 in the LendingTree Bowl.
As both teams take the field on Saturday, they are eager to set the tone for the 2023 season. For the Longhorns, it's about building on their potential and reaching new heights, while the Owls aim to improve on their previous season's performance and make their mark in college football. Fans can expect an intense and competitive game that will kickstart an exciting season of college football action.
The No. 11 Texas Longhorns are set to kick off their 2023 season this Saturday, September 2nd.
The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. Central Time and will be broadcast on FOX. If you can't watch it on TV, you can also catch the action through live streaming.
