The Longhorn Republic: Breaking down Texas's historic comeback on Ohio State Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

The start of the game looked like another big-game dud from Steve Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns, but as Texas overcame a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit, narratives started to change.

Arch Manning and the offense took advantage of three empty frames from the defense to score 21-unanswered points and come away with a statement win in Week 2. How did they pull it off and what does it mean for the rest of the season?

THE ROOST PODCAST: I Fumbled My Heart in South Bend Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Well, that wasn't fun, so let's not talk about it at all. We kid, but Matt and Carter aren't here on this week's Roost Podcast to hit you over the head with this one. Not a result we're happy to see, but we're not down on where the Owls are after two games despite the ugly nature of this one. A few small, positive observations from Matt's trusty notebook, and let's all move on to Western Michigan.

Show notes

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns have high hopes and aspirations for the 2026 season and will learn how they stack up against them in Week 2.

The last two times Texas has seen Ohio State, the Buckeyes have been able to make a few more plays to edge the Longhorns out. This year's entry in the budding non-conference rivalry should hopefully have a bit more excitement than last year's outing, but what do we expect from the Longhorns?

Show notes

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns opened their season the way they wanted to, with a lopsided win over the Texas State Bobcats. The starters got their reps in while also getting plenty of rest at the end of the game.
