The Longhorns' upcoming home game will be played in front of a sell out crowd inside Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium. The University of Texas announced Wednesday Texas' game against West Virginia is officially sold out, marking the second sell out crowd of the season.

The No. 17 ranked Longhorns and No. 13 ranked Mountaineers are set to face off at 2:30 p.m. CT with live coverage available on FOX.

"The University of Texas' Saturday football game vs. West Virginia is sold out, it was announced on Wednesday," Texas media relations sent out Wednesday afternoon. "The matchup will pit the Longhorns (No. 17 CFP, No. 15 AP Top 25, No. 15 Coaches) against the No. 13/12/10 Mountaineers. Both teams are tied for first place in the Big 12 Conference with identical 4-1 marks. Saturday's game will be UT's second sellout of the season, as they also sold out the Sept. 15 game against USC with a school-record crowd of 103,507 fans. The Longhorns own a perfect 4-0 record inside of Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium this season."

The last time Texas played in front of a sold out crowd inside Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium ended with a positive outcome when the Longhorns took down the Trojans in a 37-14 win in front of a record 103,507 fans.

Saturday's game will be no easy feat for Tom Herman and the Longhorns as they play host to Dana Holgorsen and the Mountaineers for a marquee midday kickoff, which could have Big 12 Championship implications.

"They are very good,"said the second-year head coach of West Virginia's team. "He is super talented, and you can see why he is on top of or at the top of most people's Heisman Trophy short list. You know, he's going to make plays, and you know, obviously the two receivers are his go to guys and so we've got to do a good job. The one thing that they are doing better this year in my opinion than they did last year, they are running the ball really well, too.

"So that creates quite the conundrum on defense, where I think last year, if you sat back and defended the pass, I think you could maybe hold up against the run with as we call, zero count football, meaning you don't have an extra hat on defense, but we're going to have to get plus one to the running game, and so we're going to have to mix-and-match how we do that because they are running the ball really well."
