NBC Sports is reporting that the Texas Longhorns’ 2015 opener in South Bend against Notre Dame will be broadcast in prime-time on NBC.  The kickoff will be on Saturday September 5 at 6:30 p.m.

The game will be an early season test for both teams who have not met since a 27-24 Notre Dame victory in Austin in 1996.  On an all-time basis, it is an attractive match-up; Texas has 884 total  victories, second only to Michigan, but  just two more than 882 for Notre Dame.
