The University of Texas begins its 125th season of football when the Longhorns play host to the University of Maryland Terrapins today at Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium. The game will mark the first of the Tom Herman Era after his hire on Nov. 26, 2016. Maryland is coming off a 6-7 campaign a season ago, playing in the Quick Lane Bowl under first-year head coach D.J. Durkin. Today’s game will mark the fourth all-time between the Longhorns and Terps.

Texas is 103-18-3 (.843) all-time in season openers, including a record of 107-14-3 (.875) in home openers. The Longhorns are 74-16-3 (.812) in openers at DKR, dating back to the first game in the middle of the 1924 season.

The Longhorns enter the season ranked No. 23 in both the Associated Press and Coaches Poll preseason Top 25. UT’s appearance in the AP Top 25 marks their first in the preseason poll since prior to the 2013 season.
