Texas-Colorado State channel today, time, TV, streaming info

Texas football is back.

The Longhorns open up the 2024-25 season at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium against Colorado State. Coming off of a College Football Playoff appearance, Texas is ranked No. 4 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Whether or not they deserve that ranking will be decided throughout the course of the season, but the opener will set the tone.

Texas is heavily favored. However, Georgia Tech’s recent upset over No. 10 ranked Florida State is still fresh in fans’ minds. In Monday’s press conference, coach Steve Sarkisian mentioned that the Rams’ record in 2023 does not properly reflect the level they played at.

“I know that they were 5-7 last year, but there was a lot of close games that could have gone either way,” Sarkisian said.
