The Longhorn Republic

The No. 9 Texas Longhorns are set to open up SEC play against the Florida Gators, kicking off a month of conference games away from Austin. Texas is coming off an offensive "get right" game against an outmatched Sam Houston State squad, with Arch Manning looking like the quarterback we expected in the game. Can Texas get even close to that performance against a salty Florida defense?

We take advantage of the bye week and dive in on the Texas Longhorns' women's basketball team, looking to follow up one of the most successful seasons of recent memory. Coming off a trip to the Final Four, Texas reloaded with elite talent in the portal and from the high school ranks, setting itself up as one of the top teams in the country.

The Texas Longhorns are sporting a new look as they enter the 2025-26 season. Sean Miller replaces Rodney Terry as the top man at Texas, bringing several transfer players who will play a major role on the Forty Acres. What can we expect from Miller and the Horns when they take the court in the winter?

The Texas Longhorns needed a get right game ahead of the bye week and got just that against the Sam Houston State Bearkats. Arch Manning looked like the Arch we expected coming into the season, while Ryan Wingo and DeAndre Moore got into rhythm with the quarterback. The running game left something to be desired, due in large part to the absence of Quintrevion Wisner and CJ Baxter.

The No. 8 Texas Longhorns need momentum as they close out non-conference play, which should come Saturday as they host Sam Houston State. The Bearkats are in a state of flux, breaking in a new coach and several new players for 2025. It's been a rough start for them, losing their first three games and things which won't get any better as they take on the Longhorns this week.

The No. 8 Texas Longhorns lined up against an opponent that should have been wildly outmatched, but instead struggled to get going on the offensive side of the ball. Quintrevion Wisner is still out with injury, CJ Baxter left on the game's first carry, and Arch Manning is still wildly inconsistent. Texas tried to hide behind the ground game to close it out, but the lack of depth hampered their...

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns' trek through the non-conference schedule continues as they host the UTEP Miners in their Week 3 matchup. It's a matchup of two former elite quarterback recruits who have taken different paths to get to their current schools. What does Malachi Nelson and the UTEP offense bring to Austin and what can we learn about Texas in this matchup?

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns weren't as crisp as they should have been against San Jose State, but an offensive flurry put them out in front and allowed them to cruise to a victory. What does their play mean for the future and what does it say about the ultimate ceiling for this squad?

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns are ready to dust it off and try again, this time at home against a team that they should have an easier time with -- the San Jose State Spartans. SJSU is coming off a frustrating loss at the hands of Central Michigan in their opener, getting gashed on the ground and struggling on special teams. What do we expect from Texas against an outmatched opponent?

The Texas Longhorns went into Columbus with high hopes for the 2025 season, but struggled with holdover issues from the 2024 campaign. Texas couldn't convert on key red zone possessions, thanks in part to its quarterback's issues with ball placement and consistency. What does this mean for our expectations for the season and for Steve Sarkisian?

The season is finally here, with the No. 1 Texas Longhorns travelling to Columbus to take on the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes in the marquee non-conference matchup of the season. Both teams look vastly different than they did when they squared off during the CFP last season, with both teams replacing 13 of 22 starters from last year's squads. What matchups are we watching closely, and what do we...

We've officially reached game week, meaning it's time for us to predict the season for the Texas Longhorns. Coming off of an appearance in the SEC Championship game and a CFP Semifinal appearance, the Longhorns are reloading in a major way. What do we expect from the team and who will be the leaders when it's all said and done?

The Texas Longhorns are one week away from kicking off, which means we have reached the final week of our summer preview series. Texas kicks off the season against the Ohio State Buckeyes, one of the marquee non-conference matchups of the season and a rematch of last year's CFP semifinal. Both teams once again have high hopes with a bunch of new faces on the offensive side of the ball. What do...

As we approach the first weekend of college football, we dive in on a group that will have a ton to say how far the Texas Longhorns go this year. They are replacing two early draft picks in the secondary, but come loaded with talent and hope to repeat as one of the elite units in the country. They are truly embracing positionless football in the secondary, thanks in part to the efforts of the new...

As the season rapidly approaches, so does the end of our season preview series. It's time for San Jose State, the second week of the season and the second-toughest non-conference game of the season. They were one of the top G5 defenses a year ago, but like most G5 teams saw their roster decimated by transfers. How will the stack up in 2025 as Texas tries to find its footing and avoid a letdown...

The Texas Longhorns boast one of the most talented groups of linebackers in the country, several of whom are looking to make a splash both for the team and to position themselves for the NFL. Anthony Hill leads the charge, but with a room six deep that is the envy of most in the country, expect Pete Kwiatkowski to mix things up and have fun with his scheme.

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns are just a few weeks away from starting the 2025 season, meaning we are into the non-conference portion of our previews. UTEP is in the second year of a new coach, with new coordinators on both sides of the ball, hoping to improve on 3-9 from a year ago. What do the Miners look like with all of the new talent and coaching in the Sun Bowl?

We have officially moved onto the defense, with the Texas Longhorns defensive line once again looking to reload after losing an elite pair to the NFL. Pete Kwiatkowski and Kenny Baker added a ton of talent from the portal to man the interior, while LaAllen Clark leads one of the deepest homegrown units in the country. What advantages does this afford Texas heading into a year where expectations ar...

With just a month left before the season, our season preview series reaches the non-conference schedule, starting with the Sam Houston Bearkats. SHSU is coming off one of the most successful seasons in school history, the Bearkats are in rebuild mode, with a new head coach and 50 new players via the transfer portal. What are the expectations in the first year under Phil Longo with an entirely rebu...

Our self-scouting continues as we take a dive into the Texas Longhorns' offensive line. Texas lost the majority of its production from a year ago, replacing both tackles, a guard and a center -- all of which are now on NFL rosters. The remaining players are talented, but have yet to live up to their full potential, as they try to gel with a group of relatively inexperienced, yet talented newco...

We are inching ever closer to the kickoff of the 2025 season and this week we preview the SEC opener against the Florida Gators. This time last year, Billy Napier was on the hot seat, and while he did enough last year to stay around he will need another step forward to keep interest high in the Swamp. How will DJ Lagway's development help that and what will they do at the skill positions to su...

The Texas Longhorns once again saw their top pass catchers make their way to the professional ranks with early draft picks, meaning they once again are looking for who will be the top player in the wide receiver room. There is a ton of talent in the room, with top-100 recruits from the last three cycles populating that room, but none of them have been the top guy at Texas yet.

While prepping for the upcoming season at SEC Media Days, the Texas Longhorns landed a massive recruiting blow to defending champion Georgia with the additions of Tyler Atkinson and James Johnson to the 2026 cycle. We break down what that means for Texas and how they can continue to build a championship-level roster. We also welcome back to the show Kamiar Mehrabian of the Bud, Barry, Bob, and Bee...

The Texas Longhorns are starting to gain some momentum on the recruiting trail with multiple out-of-state players pledging to Texas for the 2026 class. We dive into what they have to sell to those kids, as well as the kids of professional sports stars. We also take time to break down what we hope for the Longhorns at the running back position as they try to get healthy for 2025.

The season rapidly approaches as we continue through the Texas Longhorns' upcoming schedule week by week. This week, we land on the Kentucky Wildcats, who are looking to rebound from their worst season under head coach Mark Stoops. They were hit hard during the Transfer Portal window, but also tried to rebuild through it as well -- reshaping their roster from a team that won just won SEC game.
