A repeated visit from the injury bug for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns has forced coach Jim Schlossnagle to tinker with the lineup in order to find the best combination of hitters. That tinkering led to multisport athlete Jonah Williams earning his first career start on Friday evening. Taking on the No. 8 Auburn Tigers, the Longhorns are looking to claim yet another series win in conference play. Their sixth out of six series season to be specific.

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns (31-5, 14-2) are back in action once again on Friday evening, as they take on the No. 8 Auburn Tigers (27-11, 9-7) in game two of their massive three-game series. A win over the Tigers would secure the series for Texas, marking its sixth straight SEC series win. If Thursday's opener was any indication, though, that will be far from an easy task for the Longhorns in this one.

As the No. 1 Texas Longhorns prepared for their conference series against the No. 8 Auburn Tigers, they did so with multiple players dealing with varying injuries or bumps and bruises. Then that list seemed to grow once again in the third inning. Staff ace Jared Spencer tossed 2.2 shutout innings and while battling a somewhat high pitch count, appeared to be in line for yet another solid starter. However, the southpaw then gave up a two out single followed by a two-run home run.

There is no such thing as an easy weekend series when it comes to life in the SEC. So far in their first season as members of the conference the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (30-5, 13-2) have learned this lesson. While they have won all five of their series, including three sweeps, they have been far from a walk in the park. In each conference series win so far the Longhorns have had to grind out a win in almost all of them.
