9. Texas-BYU
Fresh off a 56-7 beat down of New Mexico State in the 2013 opener, the Longhorns were ranked No. 15 coming into their Week 2 road trip to face BYU. It was still early enough in the season to believe that both Texas and Mack Brown would reassert their authority over college football.
Despite being seven-point favorites, the Longhorns gave up 679 yards of offense to the Cougars, ultimately leaving Provo stinging with a 40-21 loss. Suddenly the team that should have been, could have been, 5-0 coming into its Oct. 12 showdown with Oklahoma was 1-1 on Sept. 8.
The 2014 rematch, scheduled for Saturday evening, Sept. 6 in Austin, sets up an eerily similar scenario. Yes, it’s a chance—again—for Texas to declare “we’re back” but this time with a new coach, Charlie Strong, who wants to prove that he’s the guy to return Longhorn football to its lofty perch.
For BYU, on the other hand, it’s an opportunity to show the world that it’s no one-hit wonder.
