The Texas Longhornsarrived at their hotels in Baton Rouge after Midnight thanks to an FAA outage that grounded flights across America. Not an ideal lead up to what could be the most important game Texas will play in this year. The Longhorns face LSU with a lot on the line tonight.

A Texas win likely puts the Longhorns in the College Football Playoff. That is if UT can handle its business against Arkansas and Texas A&M to finish the season. LSU represents the final ranked team the Longhorns will have to play in the regular season. Texas is 4-0 against ranked teams so far this year.

But beating LSU tonight won't be easy. Death Valley at night is one of the most intense settings in college football. And this is the first and only game all season Texas is the underdog.

Texas Longhorns vs. LSU Tigers Prediction

05:38 PM ET, November 14 2026, Trey Luerssen

I believe Texas is better than LSU this season. I think the Longhorns are better at almost every spot up and down the field. But that doesn't mean UT will win.

While the Aggies brag about their home field environment at Kyle Field, it is Death Valley that actually scares opposing teams. Especially for a night gain. The alcohol flows all day and the crowd is at a fever pitch for kickoff.

Can Texas handle it?

Texas has actually played better on the road in many ways this year than at home. The Horns handled a tough atmosphere at Tennessee. Texas has handled Kyle Field in the past. I think UT handles Death Valley.

Final Score: Texas 27, LSU 24

Texas Longhorns vs. LSU Tigers Weather

05:36 PM ET, November 14 2026, Trey Luerssen

It should be a pleasant evening in Louisiana for the Texas-LSU game with temperatures forecast in the 50's.

🏈 FOOTBALL FORECASTS
Weather looks great once again this Saturday with both Southern and LSU at home for the 2nd weekend in a row. Jag fans will enjoy temps in the 60s through at least the first half, but may want some long sleeves for later in the game.

Texas Longhorns and LSU Tigers Injuries

05:32 PM ET, November 14 2026, Trey Luerssen

The good news from the Longhorns perspective is Colin Simmons is off the injury report and good to play. Cam Coleman is banged up and if he plays, he won't be 100%

No change on the #Texas availability report for Friday night.
