There's a saying that teams should beware "of losing to Bama twice", meaning the mental and physical toll it takes to get up to play Saban's Bama can leave a hangover for the next week
On the surface, that makes UTSA at home the following week concerning, and perhaps even a trip the Lubbock two weeks later as well
However, it looks like both of those teams will have their hands full the prior two weeks
UTSA hosts Houston and travels to Army(!) the prior two weeks. Army is obviously a team you have to give your full attention to because of their offense
Tech hosts Houston and then travels to NC State the prior two weeks. They won't be able to overlook a middle tiered P5 school on the road.

Texas doesn't have two road games in a row. However, Texas's bye falls between two road games; at Oklahoma State, at Kansas State
