The No. 7 Texas Longhorns got off to about as dominant start as anyone could've dreamed in a Top 25 matchup -- holding a 320 to 33 yard advantage with a minute left in the first half... Maalik Murphy and the Texas offense sputtered in the second half and gave the defense impossibly short fields to defend, allowing Kansas State to force OT. With their backs against the wall and up by 3, the def...

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns are seemingly in control of their own destiny for a spot in the Big 12 Championship and presumably a chance at their first berth in the College Football Playoff. The only thing that stands in their way is the four teams remaining on their schedule, starting with the Kansas State Wildcats, who are coming off two dominant performances.

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns went into the day against the BYU Cougars with questions at the quarterback position as Maalik Murphy took over for an injured Quinn Ewers. As Murphy adjusted to the speed of the game, the defense stepped up and shut down BYU and once Murphy got his feet underneath him, the Longhorns ran away with a big win. What does this mean for the offense going forward and how do we...

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns continue to march their way toward a rematch with OU in Arlington and next they welcome the BYU Cougars to Austin. The last time the Longhorns faced BYU, it was an embarrassing way to kick off the Charlie Strong era, a portent of things to come for the next three years. Texas and BYU are both in different positions now, with the Longhorns prepared to take off to the SEC a...

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns built a three-score lead then, in a flashback of days thought gone, let the Houston Cougars claw back into competition and had to hold off a late surge. Without the aid of quarterback Quinn Ewers, the Longhorns managed to score the go-ahead touchdown and escape with a win. What was the difference and what does Texas do moving forward?

The Texas Longhorns rekindle the old Southwest Conference rivalry, heading to Houston for the first time since the 2001 season.

In just three seasons under Vic Schaefer, the Texas Longhorns accomplished something that hadn't happened in two decades -- the women's basketball team claimed the Big 12 championship. Now, the expectations are higher than ever, with the most talented group that's been on campus since hall-of-fame coach Jody Conradt took Texas to the conference title and beyond. Returning all-conferenc...

We took advantage of the football bye week and dove in on the 2023-24 Texas Longhorns men's basketball team. After keeping the team on the right track a year ago and earning his spot as the men's basketball coach, Rodney Terry takes the reins for the start of the season and hopes to improve on a deep run that had a disappointing end a year ago. He needed to reload and did just that, throug...

The Texas Longhorns had a shot to win the game late, but couldn't overcome the early struggles and the tenacious Oklahoma offense, falling in the Red River Rivalry. The defense had an outing to forget, thanks in large part to the dynamic play of Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel, while Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers had to play lights-out late to make up for early struggles. With all of that...

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have another chance to tick a box in the "Texas is getting back to where it belongs" checklist with a win over the Oklahoma Sooners. OU has faced less-than-elite talent but has done what good teams do against outmatched opponents, dominated them in multiple phases of the game. With their toughest matchup coming up, will they be able to keep up the pace against t...

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns continued their march through the Big 12 one last time with a lopsided win over the Kansas Jayhawks. Texas benefitted from an unexpected scratch of Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels, who was struggling with back tightness before the game Saturday. Backup Jason Bean, an elite athlete in his own right, could not keep the offense on pace, while the Longhorns found their rhyth...

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns are continuing their final march through the Big 12, taking on the resurgent Kansas Jayhawks -- who are on a surge of their own. Led by Jalon Daniels, the Jayhawks have become one of the top offenses in the country, leaning on a balanced attack to keep defenders off-schedule and guessing. A year ago, Texas managed to shut that offense down while Daniels recovered from an...

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns went to Waco and did what good teams do against outmatched opponents, looked dominant on both sides of the ball and came away with a lopsided win. Whether it is the defense keeping Baylor from scoring and handling quick changes with relative ease, the continued emergence of Jonathon Brooks as a running threat, or Quinn Ewers returning to form and showing off why NFL Scout...

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns kick off their final season of Big 12 play with a trip up I-35 to take on the Baylor Bears in Waco. For the last five seasons, Texas and Baylor have both held serve at home, with Texas closing out the Bears to end the 2022 regular season in front of the crowd at DKR. Baylor may be having a down year, but the Bears know that they can salvage a terrible start, climb back to...

The Texas Longhorns had to shake off a little Alabama hangover when the Wyoming Cowboys came to Austin, hoping to keep their trajectory moving in the right direction. It was uncomfortable for a while, tied 10-10 going into the fourth quarter, but the Longhorns once again turned on the jets late and pulled away from the Cowboys. Texas has seemingly become a second-half team, somewhat in an effort t...

After knocking off the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Texas Longhorns face one of the toughest challenges in sports, making sure that the emotional high from a big win doesn't cost you the next game. They welcome to Austin the undefeated Wyoming Cowboys, who opened the season with an upset win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Now, with an eye to pull off an even bigger upset, they bring their explo...

After a week's worth of doubts, the Texas Longhorns went into Tuscaloosa and knocked off Nick Sabana and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Whether it was the performance of the quarterback Quinn Ewers, dominance in the trenches, or turning over Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Texas seemed to be a match for the annual power. What does this mean for Texas as they prepare for the rest of the regular se...

The Texas Longhorns are on the road for the first time this year, and leaving the state of Texas for the first of two times this year. Texas has revenge on their minds after the Tide came to Austin a year ago and squeaked out a one-point win in DRK. However, the Longhorns will have to improve on several facets on offense if they're going to pull off the upset. Connect with the show on  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

The Texas Longhorns finally kicked off the 2023 season and came away with a decisive victory over the Rice Owls, exposing a few things Texas still needs to work on throughout the season. While the defense played lights out, including a near-record performance against the run, some of the offensive issues that plagued Texas a year ago again showed up in the passing game. What can Texas do to shore...

In our final show before the Texas Longhorns take the field, we dive in on our expectations for the full season. Who will be the standouts on either side of the ball, what will determine success for each unit and the team overall, and finally we do our first Podstradamus picks for the year -- with a brand-new sponsor.

We’re finally at Texas Longhorns game week, so it's time to finish off our final previews — covering the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Rice Owls. First, we start with the future conference mate and one of the marquee non-conference matchups of the year. In 2022, Texas ran with Bama for the entirety of the game, looking like they may be more prepared for the SEC jump than previously believed. In...

With just one week left until the Texas Longhorns kickoff, we reach our final position preview, the special teams. The Longhorns were a relatively solid team in the third phase a year ago but looked to upgrade the punter spot and find a bit more consistency in the block and return game. They went out into the portal and grabbed Stanford transfer Ryan Sanborn at punter and added depth in the puntin...

We continue rapidly approaching the kickoff of the Texas Longhorns' season so we must take a moment to dive in on the recruiting landscape before starting the final season in the Big 12. We welcome back to the show Mike Roach of 247Sports to help us dive in on the Longhorns' recent big recruiting win, how the class is shaping up, and how Texas is preparing itself for life in the Big 12. Co...

We are just three weeks out from the Texas Longhorns' season which means our season previews are coming to the non-conference weeks and the Wyoming Cowboys. Wyoming struggled offensively last year and lost their key weapon in the running game, so how will the Cowboys structure the offense to hopefully improve from a year ago? We also dive in on whether or not the returning production from last...

As we close in on two weeks from the Texas Longhorns' kickoff, we come to the penultimate position group preview -- the defensive backs. This group, much like their offensive counterparts the wide receivers, have an incredibly high ceiling and a yet-to-be-determined floor. While that floor is likely quite high based on the talent of the group, a lack of meaningful cohesion and reps means this...
