No. 7 Texas heads to Baton Rouge for the first time in 73 years, and the Longhorns get a night game in Tiger Stadium. LSU is 112-19 at home at night since 2000. Lane Kiffin's Tigers are coming off a loss at Alabama and need to win out to keep their playoff hopes alive. Texas has won three straight, is playing its best football of the season, and controls its own path to Atlanta. On this episode of 3rd & Longhorn, Nick Shuley is joined by Jeremy Hills, Rod Babers, Derrick Johnson and Mark Higgins to break down the matchup: - Why Sark calls LSU the most talented team Texas will see all year - The series history: Texas leads 9-8-1, and the last trip to Baton Rouge was in 1953 - How the Texas defense stops the run and makes Sam Leavitt beat them - What Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. might throw at Muschamp: empty sets, bunch formations and stack looks - Colin Simmons, the pass rush, and why nobody is running the ball on this Texas defense - LSU's red zone problem: 457 yards but only 13 points against Alabama - Does a night game in Death Valley really matter? Jeremy Hills vs the moon - Texas offense vs Blake Baker's defense: avoiding negative plays and staying ahead of the chains - Will LSU blitz Arch Manning the way they overwhelmed Clemson? - Homecomings for Zion Williams, Arch and the Louisiana Longhorns - Mark Higgins' LSU alumni segment, from Hubert Humphrey to the Rocky theme to Bengal Punch - Special teams, plus the crew's score predictions Texas at LSU kicks off Saturday at 6:30 PM CT on ABC.
