On Sunday, the game time for Texas-Mississippi State was revealed. The two programs will face off at 3:15 p.m. CT on Sept. 28 and the game will be aired on SEC Network. The series is tied 2-2 with Mississippi State winning the two most recent matchups. However, Texas has won 10 straight home games dating back to the 2022 season.

No. 1 Texas heads into its SEC opener with strong momentum, but its first opponent in the new conference is hurting at the worst possible spot at the worst possible time. Mississippi State announced late Saturday that starting quarterback Blake Shapen is out for the season with a shoulder injury and will need surgery.
