Saturday brings a road trip 73 years in the making for Texas.

For the first time since 1953, the No. 6 Longhorns (7-2, 4-2 SEC) will play at LSU when they face the Tigers (6-3, 3-3) in prime time at "Death Valley." It's also their first game as conference opponents.

It's also the first head-to-head coaching matchup between longtime friends Steve Sarkisian and Lane Kiffin since 2012, when they were at Washington and USC, respectively. Sarkisian and Kiffin worked together on the staffs at USC and Alabama but haven't faced off as head coaches in 14 years.

As for this year's teams, Texas has won four straight while LSU is coming off an ugly home loss to Alabama, taking the shine off Kiffin's first season in Baton Rouge.

Texas leads the all-time series 9-8-1, with LSU winning their most recent meeting in 2019 at Austin en route to the national championship.
