Texas Longhorns Adjust 2025 Schedule: Key Changes and Updates

The Texas Longhorns were originally scheduled to face Sam Houston State on September 27, 2025. However, the universities announced a change, shifting the game to September 20. This adjustment aims to provide the Longhorns with a crucial week off before diving into their SEC slate.

Reason for the Rescheduling

According to the Austin American-Statesman, moving the Sam Houston game up a week gives the Longhorns a much-needed bye. This break comes after closing out a demanding non-conference schedule that includes a trip to Ohio State on August 30, home games against San Jose State (September 6), UTEP (September 13), and Sam Houston. Following this bye week, the Longhorns will travel to Florida for their SEC opener against the Gators on October 4.
