Third-ever matchup between Louisiana Football and Texas scheduled for 2021
LAFAYETTE -Â Louisiana Football and Texas have scheduled a matchup for early in the 2021 football season, with the Ragin' Cajuns and the Longhorns meeting at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021.
"We're very excited for the opportunity to compete with the University of Texas," Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard said. "This is a regional matchup that will provide great exposure for our football program in the state of Texas, while also allowing Cajun Nation to attend a nonconference game against a Big 12 Conference opponent."
The future meeting between the two programs will be the third in each school's respective histories, with Louisiana and Texas meeting twice previously. The Ragin' Cajuns traveled to Texas during the 2000 and 2005 seasons, meeting a Top-10 ranked Longhorns squad each time.
Louisiana Football's 2019 season and the second campaign of the Billy Napier Era will be here soon. Fans are encouraged to renew or request their season tickets now. More information can be obtained by calling the Louisiana Athletics Ticket Office at the Cajundome, (337) 265-2357, or by visiting the office in-person.Â
