CORRECTION: A previous headline of this story misstated the viewing options for Texas-Mississippi State.

It's time for Texas football make its debut in the Southeastern Conference.

The No. 2 Texas Longhorns face the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday in their first SEC game of the year after comfortably winning all of their nonconference matchups.

Week 5 may not be much different, as Mississippi State (1-3, 0-1 SEC) has losses to Florida, Toledo and Arizona State. In addition, Bulldogs starting quarterback Blake Shapen suffered a season-ending shoulder injury vs. the Gators. True freshman Michael Van Buren will start in his place.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was listed as questionable on Wednesday night's injury report, leaving the door open for him to start Saturday. If he is still recovering from his oblique strain, backup Arch Manning will get the call once again after leading Texas (4-0, 0-0) to a win over the University of Louisiana-Monroe last week.

Bulldogs coach Jeff Lebby gave Texas' defense fits last year as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator. He's brought that up-tempo approach with him to Mississippi State, but it'll take a lot more than a scheme to defeat a Texas team that's cemented itself as one of, if not the best, team in college football. Saturday's game will be broadcast on the SEC Network, ESPN+ and SEC Network+.
