Texas lost to the Crimson Tide 20-19 in Austin last season in a game GameDay also attended.
This is Texas’ first trip to Tuscaloosa, Ala. since Nov. 18, 1902. The Longhorns defeated the Crimson Tide 10-0.
This will be 21st time the Longhorns have been featured on College GameDay. In addition to the Alabama game in 2022, ESPN returned to the Forty Acres for Texas’ primetime matchup with the TCU Horned Frogs in November. The Longhorns lost that game 17-10.
Texas is 10-10 all time in games where GameDay is on hand for a Longhorn game..
