The Longhorns play their first game under Sarkisian at home against No. 23 Louisiana-Lafayette. All 10 Big 12 teams open this weekend. Second-ranked and six-time defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma plays Tulane in a game moved to Norman from New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. No. 7 Iowa State has its highest ranking going into its home opener against FCS team Northern Iowa.
