THE OPENING KICKOFF

? The University of Texas continues its 127th season of football on Saturday when the Longhorns take on No. 6 LSU at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.

? Texas currently boasts 909 all-time wins, the third-most in college football history. UT holds an all-time record of 909-370-33 (.705).

? Saturday will mark the 502nd game played at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. UT owns a 377-114-10 (.762) record in games contested inside the stadium.

? Two of college football's winningest programs square off Saturday night under the lights inside Darrell K Royal Texas-Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns own the thirdmost wins in college football history with 909, while LSU has the 12th-most with 798.

? This weekend's contest will mark the first time Texas and LSU have met on the gridiron since the Horns bested the Tigers, 35-20, in the 2003 SBC Cotton Bowl Classic.

? ESPN's College GameDay will be in Austin for the first time since 2009 on Saturday. It will be the 17th time that College Gameday has been on hand for a Longhorn Football game, and the seventh time the hit morning show has been hosted on the Forty Acres.

? Ten of Texas' 12 regular-season games will be contested inside the state of Texas, continuing with Saturday's matchup against the Tigers. UT will only leave the Lone Star State to face West Virginia (Oct. 5) and Iowa State (Nov. 16).

? Eight of UT's 2019 opponents played in a bowl game in 2018, with five of those teams winning their postseason matchups. LSU defeated UCF, 40-32, in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl last season.

? The Longhorns are scheduled to play 10 Power Five Conference opponents during the 2019 regular season, with Saturday marking the Horns' first Power Five game of the year. UT was the only program in college football to play 11 Power Five Conference opponents in each regular season from 2015-18.

? Texas played in 10 one-possession games in 2018, going 7-3 in such games. Prior to the loss in the Big 12 title game, UT's three regular season losses had come by a combined nine points.

? The Horns beat five ranked teams in 2018, their most since also besting five teams ranked in at least one of the national polls back in 2004.

HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE

? The Longhorns opened the 2019 season with a 45-14 triumph over Louisiana Tech in front of 93,418 fans at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. ? Texas finished the 2018 season 5-1 at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, its most wins at home since winning six games in 2009. UT was 3-3 at home in 2017. ? UT had three sellouts (USC, WVU, Iowa State) including a school-record of 103,507 fans against USC.

LONGHORNS TO HONOR LEGEND

? The Longhorns will honor legendary running back Cedric Benson by wearing his number 32 decal on their helmets in his honor. ? Benson, the 2004 Doak Walker Award and eight-year NFL veteran, passed away in a motorcycle accident on Sat., Aug. 17 in Austin. He was 36 just years old. ? After Benson's passing, Mayor Steve Adler proclaimed Aug. 22, 2019, as `Cedric Benson Day' in Austin. ? Prior to the Longhorns' practice on Saturday, Aug. 24, the team honored Benson with a prayer and moment of silence. UT will also hold a moment of silence prior to the start of Saturday night's game against Louisiana Tech. ? Benson's funeral service was held in Austin on Sat., Aug. 24 and his body was laid to rest in the Texas State Cemetery on the morning of Monday, Aug. 26. The Texas State Cemetery is the final resting place of Governors, Senators, Legislators, Congressmen, Judges and other legendary Texans who have made the state what it is today. ? A four-year starter who was the first freshman in Longhorn history to rush for 1,000 yards, Benson played at Texas from 2001-04 and his 5,540 yards rank second only to Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams in UT history and are ninth-best in NCAA history. ? He scored 64 career rushing touchdowns (No. 9 on the NCAA all-time list), earned first-team All-America honors and won the Doak Walker award, given to the nation's top running back, as a senior in 2004. ? His first career start came at Oklahoma State as a freshman, he rushed for 131 yards and proceeded to register a UT freshman record five straight 100-yard games. He would go on to run for at least 100 yards 25 times (No. 2 in UT history) during his illustrious Longhorn career. ? Benson was the only player in school history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in four seasons, something only five other players in NCAA history had done when he accomplished that feat. His UT record 1,112 career carries were a shining example of his willingness to put the Longhorns on his back and carry them to victory. ? Inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor in 2014, he helped the Longhorns post a 43-8 record in his four seasons on the Forty Acres. That record includes a 3-1 mark in bowl games, three 11-win campaigns, and at least 10 wins all four years. UT finished the year ranked in the top six three times, earning a No. 5 ranking in the final AP Poll in 2001 and 2004.

FLIPPING THE SCRIPT IN 2018 ? After going 1-4 against ranked teams in 2017, the Longhorns went 5-2 against ranked foes last season. ? Texas defeated No. 5 Georgia, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 17 TCU, No. 18 Iowa State and No. 22 USC last year. ? UT defeated Top 25 opponents in consecutive weeks for the first time since the 2008 season when they beat No. 22/21 USC 37-14 on Sept. 15 and then No. 17/17 TCU 31-16 on Sept. 22 in 2018.

TEXAS AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS ? The Horns are 6-6 against top-25 foes during Tom Herman's first two seasons as head coach, but are coming off a 5-2 record against ranked opponents in 2018.

SELLING OUT DKR ? Texas is closing in on selling out of its allotment of 2019 football season tickets (63,000). The 2019 total is a significant increase from 2018 when 54,767 season tickets were sold. ? The Longhorns set a school record for season ticket sales with 62,835 sold as of Sept. 2. UT's previous record 62,737 season tickets in 2010. ? Once the season ticket allotment is exhausted, UT's Sept. 7 matchup vs. LSU will be officially sold out. It will be the fourth time that DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium has been sold out since the start of the 2018 season (8 games). Texas' matchups against USC, West Virginia and Iowa State last season were all also sold out. ? Season tickets are still available for the 2019 fall campaign by visiting tickets or by contacting Texas Athletics Ticket Sales & Services at 512-471-3333.

TRAINING IN THE TEXAS HEAT ? The Longhorns endured a grueling month of training camp in August, and received no relief from mother nature during their preparation for the 2019 season. ? The temperature in the city of Austin has reached or surpassed 100 degrees in 23 of the 30 days leading up to the Horns' season opener on Aug. 31, per KTBC FOX 7. ? Starting on Aug. 5, Austin endured 18-straight days with temperatures that hit triple digits, the fourth-longest stretch on record (27 - 2011).

TEXAS IN THE TOP 10 ? Updated national rankings are set to be released on Tuesday following Notre Dame-Louisville Monday night. ? Texas was slotted at No. 10 in both the AP Top 25 and the Amway Coaches Poll to start the 2019 season, marking the first time since 2010 that the Longhorns have opened the year ranked in the top 10 of both national polls. ? It was the 34th time that UT has been ranked in the top 10 of the preseason AP Top 25 and the Horns have appeared in 53 of 69 possible preseason polls since 1950. ? Texas' top-10 preseason ranking marked its thirdstraight appearance in the preseason AP Top 25, sealing UT's longest stretch since a 12-year run concluded in 2010.

EHLINGER BY THE NUMBERS

? Junior QB Sam Ehlinger has a 9-to-1 touchdown-tointerception ratio (27 TD-3 INT) over his last 14 games. Texas is 11-3 during that stretch. ? Ehlinger tied his career high with four touchdown passes against Louisiana Tech in the 2019 season opener. He also completed 15 of his first 18 passes to eight different receivers during Texas' first four drives. ? His four-TD effort made him the sixth quarterback in school history to throw at least 40 career touchdowns, and the first to do so since Colt McCoy (2006-09). ? Ehlinger currently ranks seventh in school history with 6,384 yards (5,483 pass/901 rush) of total offense. He surpassed Ricky Williams (6,306) with a 310-yard day against Louisiana Tech on Aug. 31. ? In 2018, Ehlinger threw for 3,292 yards (5th in UT history) and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 482 yards and 16 scores, setting the school record for most rushing TDs by a QB. ? Ehlinger became the only player in UT history to pass for at least 25 TDs and rush for at least 15 in a season. ? He is only the sixth Power Five quarterback to reach those numbers in the last 20 years, and the other five all were Heisman Trophy winners. The other

five quarterbacks are Tim Tebow (2007), Cam Newton (2010), Johnny Manziel (2012), Marcus Mariota (2014) and Lamar Jackson (2016-17). ? Ehlinger's 41 touchdowns accounted for in 2018 were second-most in school history, trailing only Colt McCoy with 45 in 2008. ? Ehlinger threw just five interceptions, and attempted a school- and Big 12-record 308 consecutive passes without an interception in between picks in the season opener at Maryland and the regular season finale at Kansas. ? Ehlinger is the seventh Longhorn to eclipse 5,000 career passing yards. He currently sits seventh with 5,207 career yards. His 36 career touchdown passes are seventh-most in school history. ? He had 3,774 yards (3,292 pass/482 rush) of total offense in 2018, fifth-most in school history. Only Colt McCoy (2007-09) and Vince Young (2005) have had more in a season. ? Earlier in 2018, he became the first Longhorn QB since Colt McCoy (2008) to have at least two passing and one rushing TD in three straight games (Tulsa, USC, TCU). ? Ehlinger was the first Longhorn QB ever to pass for at least 200 yards and two touchdowns in each of the season's first four games. ? He was the first Longhorn QB since Vince Young (Oct. 15, 2005 vs. Colorado) to rush for three touchdowns and pass for two more in a game. Just McCoy (twice) and Chris Simms have had more TDs in a game since 2000. ? He passed for more than 200 yards in six-straight games to begin the season, becoming the first Longhorn QB since McCoy in 2007 to do so. McCoy (8 straight 2007), Applewhite (11 straight 1999) and Peter Gardere (7 straight 1992) are the only other Longhorn QBs to have longer streaks to begin a season in school history. ? In 2017, Ehlinger passed for 1,915 yards and rushed for 385. He was the first Texas quarterback since Colt McCoy in 2008 to lead the Longhorns in both passing and rushing yards in a season. ? Ehlinger has 16 career 200-yard games, sixth-most in school history. He also has five career 300-yard games, fourth-most in school history. ? Ehlinger had 10 games last season with three-or-more touchdowns responsible for, tying Colt McCoy (2008) for the single-season school record.

For his career, Johnson has 154 receptions (8th in school history) for 2,124 yards (9th in school history) and 13 touchdowns (12th in school history). ? He has a reception in 28 straight games played, the fifth-longest streak in school history. ?

DIALING IN ON DUVERNAY

? Senior WR Devin Duvernay started off his 2019 campaign in impressive fashion, hauling in a career-high nine passes in the season opener. ? Four of his catches came on the game's opening drive, which he capped with a four-yard touchdown. ? Duvernay eclipsed 1,000 career receiving yards in the win over Kansas last season. After Saturday's win over Louisiana Tech, he now has 78 receptions for 1,137 yards and eight touchdowns in his career.

? As a junior, Duvernay caught 41 passes for 546 yards and four touchdowns, all of which ranked third among Longhorn wide receivers in 2018.

O-LINE CONTINUITY A KEY ? After missing a combined 36 games along the offensive line in 2017, UT's starting offensive linemen missed just three combined games in 2018. ? In 2017, UT was forced to use eight different starting offensive line combinations in 13 games. In 2018, that number went down to just three, including the same one in each of the last nine games. ? That continuity, mixed with the return of tight end Andrew Beck, who missed the entire 2017 season, led to increased offensive productivity in 2018. ? UT's offense averaged 411.3 ypg (153.1 rush/258.2 pass) and allowed just 27 sacks (1.93 pg) in 2018. In 2017, for comparison, UT averaged 398.5 ypg (139.6 rush/258.8 pass) and allowed 34 sacks (2.62 pg). ? Every starting offensive lineman was honored by the Big 12 Conference's coaches. Center Zach Shackelford was named first-team All-Big 12 by the AP and secondteam by the coaches. Left tackle Calvin Anderson, left guard Patrick Vahe and right guard Elijah Rodriguez all earned honorable mention honors along the offensive line, while redshirt freshman RT Samuel Cosmi was honorable mention as the Big 12's Offensive Freshman of the Year. Cosmi was also a freshman All-American.

JONES' IMPACT ? Senior DB Brandon Jones logged seven tackles and recovered a fumble in his 2019 debut against Louisiana Tech. His seven tackles were the third-most by a Longhorn on opening weekend. ? Jones missed four games in 2018, however he still finished fourth on the team in total tackles with 70 and led the team in tackles per game (7.0 pg). He was also second on the team with two interceptions and still earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors. ? As a sophomore in 2017, Jones started all 12 games in which he played and was third on the team with 61 total tackles.

STRONG AND STERN(S) ? Sophomore DB Caden Sterns didn't miss a beat to start the 2019 season, as he matched his career high and led the Longhorns with eight tackles, including six solo stops, against Louisiana Tech on Aug. 31. ? Sterns was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2018. He was the seventh Longhorn to earn Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors, joining Cory Redding (1999), Derrick Johnson (2001), Rodrique Wright (2002), Brian Orakpo (2005), Quandre Diggs (2011) and Malik Jefferson (2015).

SPECIAL FORCES

The Longhorns special teams units are called Special Forces and named after Frank Denius, who was one of the 10 most decorated soldiers to serve in World War II. Denius stormed Omaha Beach in Normandy at age 19. More info about him can be found on page 8.

The kickoff unit is named Cobra Strike after Operation Cobra. Denius served with the 230th Field Artillery Battalion during the operation that broke through German defenses that had pinned down Allied forces in Normandy for seven weeks following the D-Day landings.

The punt unit is dubbed the A-Team in honor of former UT long snapper Nate Boyer. He served six years in the Green Beret Special Forces unit as part of Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA), also known as an SFOD-A or A-Team, prior to joining UT Football in 2010.

TEXAS VS LSU

6

The punt return unit is called Posse, as the unit must work together as a brotherhood. The unit honors 1959 Longhorn Hall of Honor inductee, Maj. Gen. Kearie Lee Berry, who survived the Bataan Death March and 40 months as a Prisoner of War during World War II.

The kickoff return unti is named Six in honor of a University of Texas graduate who served on SEAL Team Six but was killed in action in a 2011 helicopter crash. The unit's logo was designed by his best friend and depicts the Gold Squadron logo for which he was a member.

The field goal unit is named Sniper, as the kicker needs pinpoint accuracy to succeed. The unit is named in honor of proud Texan Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL veteran who earned numerous medals during his tours in Iraq and regularly referenced his love of the Longhorns in his book `American Sniper.'

GAME 2 ? SEPT. 7, 2019

GAME NOTES

? Sterns started all 13 games in which he played (missing only the Sugar Bowl due to injury), becoming the first UT true freshman DB since Blake Gideon (13 starts) in 2008 to start the first 13 games of his career. ? He had 62 tackles (three TFL), four interceptions, four pass breakups and a blocked FG in 2018. ? He had two interceptions against TCU and was named Thorpe Award Player of the Week, as well as Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, for his effort. ? He also had interceptions against Tulsa and Baylor, while his blocked field goal against USC was returned for a touchdown by Anthony Wheeler. ? He was the first true freshman at UT with two interceptions in a game since DeShon Elliott (2015) and just the third ever (Chris Carter, 1993).

RETURN OF ROACH

? Senior DL Malcolm Roach made his 12th career start and 35th career appearance for The University of Texas against Louisiana Tech on Aug. 31. He logged two total tackles and one tackle for loss, but his impact was felt far beyond the final statistics. ? Roach started the first three games of 2018 against Maryland, Tulsa and USC before a foot injury sidelined him for five games. He made his return against West Virginia and finished the season strong with at least four tackles in each of the last three games against Kansas, Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game, and Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. ? Prior to the 2018 season, Roach played in all 25 games (13 in 2017/12 in 2016) with a total of eight starts (three in 2017/five in 2016).

LEARNING TO FINISH

? Texas has learned how to finish games last season when it counts. Prior to the 24-10 win over Iowa State, the Longhorns had played in six consecutive, one possession games. UT was 7-3 in its one-possession games last year. ? Texas ended seven wins in victory formation last season, seeing those drives cover 32 plays and take 17:59 off the clock. ? Texas ended wins over Oklahoma (48-45), Baylor (2317) and Texas Tech (41-34) with defensive stops.

STOPPING THE RUN

? UT's rush defense finished 28th nationally (131.4 ypg) in 2018 a year after ranking 8th nationally (106.8 ypg). ? The Longhorns held four opponents under 100 yards in 2018 after holding seven opponents under 100 yards in 2017. That included limiting a Georgia team that entered the Sugar Bowl averaging 251.6 yards per game to just 72 yards on 30 carries. ? Additionally, UT held Oklahoma to 129 yards rushing on 40 attempts in the Big 12 Championship Game. The Sooners entered with six straight games of 290-or-more rushing yards.

WALK-ONS PUT ON SCHOLARSHIP ? A pair of Texas LBs, Cort Jaquess and Russell Hine, both were awarded scholarships on Aug. 14 during a team meeting. Jaquess' father, Jay, played DE and was a three-year Letterman from 1986-88 at UT. ? Justin Mader and Mason Ramirez were both also put on scholarship during preseason training camp.

REDSHIRTS UNDER TOM HERMAN ? Head coach Tom Herman and staff have used redshirts to their advantage over the past two seasons, as 38 Longhorns have preserved a year of eligibility during Herman's time at the helm.

POINTS OFF TURNOVERS

? One of the keys to success in the Tom Herman era has been UT's ability to score points off turnovers, while limiting opponent points after turnovers of their own. ? In the season opener, Texas converted a trio of Louisiana Tech turnovers into points on each successive drive, scoring a pair of touchdowns and drilling a 43-yard field goal to rack up 17 of the Horns' 45 points. ? Since the beginning of 2017, UT has forced 49 turnovers while scoring 180 points off of them. On the flip side, the Longhorns have committed 30 turnovers and allowed just 31 points.

SUSTAINED SCORING DRIVES

? Texas had 24 scoring drives of 10-or-more plays in 2018, which ranked in the top five nationally. Of those 24 scoring drives, 16 resulted in touchdowns, while eight ended in field goals. ? UT's longest drive of the 2018 season in terms of plays and time was an 18-play, 60-yard touchdown drive that took 8:10 off the clock at Texas Tech. ? The Longhorns' longest drive in terms of yards was an 11-play, 98-yard touchdown drive that took 5:08 off the clock at Kansas. ? Texas registered one such scoring drive in its 2019 season opener against Louisiana Tech, as QB Sam Ehlinger capped an 11-play, 74-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown toss to senior WR Collin Johnson. ? UT also had two nine-play scoring drives in the third quarter that both resulted in touchdowns.

FAN EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS THIS FALL

? Texas Athletics announced a number of pre-game and in-game fan experience upgrades for the 2019 season at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. ? Pregame, fans can enjoy Smokey's Midway as a bridge between Bevo Blvd. presented by H-E-B and Longhorn City Limits on the north end of the stadium. Smokey's Midway will feature a variety of midway games with great prizes, as well as interactive attractions, unique fair-style food, and additional food trucks and beverage stations. ? Fans can also enjoy the second year of Longhorn City Limits presented by ATX Web Designs. The free gameday concert series, which brought the Live Music Capital of the World and Texas Football gamedays together last year, will return to the LBJ Lawn in 2019, with free pregame and postgame concerts by national and regional artists on the schedule. ? Midland has been shaking up the country music scene since their formation in 2013 and headlines the second game vs. LSU. Supporting Midland is Americana artist and singer-songwriter Rob Baird. After relocating to Austin, Baird has been a constant touring force playing alongside acts such as Jason Isbell, Billy Joe Shaver, Don Williams and The Steeldrivers. ? The fan-favorite silent disco returns to Longhorn City Limits following the Texas-LSU game. Featuring three live DJs, participating fans receive a pair of wireless headphones to wear and the ability to choose between three different channels. ? After the popularity of last year's fan-first pricing menu, Texas Athletics has introduced additional reduced concession prices at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium for the 2019 season. The 2018 menu featured 10 total items, while 2019 has raised the bar to include 22 of the most popular gameday concessions at an average discount of 30 percent. A look at the 2019 offerings:
