The kickoff time for BYU's game at Texas has been set. On Monday, the Big 12 announced that BYU's road contest at Texas will kickoff at 2:30 Central Time and will be broadcast on either ABC or ESPN depending on the results of this weekend. This will be the third time BYU has played in the afternoon broadcast window on ESPN. BYU has lost both ESPN afternoon games against Kansas and TCU. 

On that same day, Kansas-Oklahoma will be the Big Noon Kickoff game on Fox. Houston-Kansas State will play in the early window on ESPN2. UCF-West Virginia will play in the same early window on FS1. Cincinnati and Oklahoma State will play that evening on ESPN2.

BYU's Success Against Texas

BYU and Texas have played each other five times. The Cougars are 4-1 all time against the Longhorns. BYU and Texas first played each other in a home-and-home series in 1987-1988. BYU won the first game in Austin 22-17. The following year, BYU beat Texas in dominant fashion in Provo 47-6. The two teams didn't play each other for more than 20 years until BYU traveled to take on the Longhorns in Austin in 2011. That was BYU's lone loss to Texas, a narrow 17-16 loss.

A few years later, BYU famously dominated Texas at home 40-21 in 2013. One year later, Taysom Hill led BYU into Austin and dominated Texas once again 41-7. That was the last time these two teams met.
