October 24, 2024 - Texas survives Vanderbilt Oct 29, 2024

Show notes

The No. 6 Texas Longhorns went to Nashville and narrowly avoided a disaster at the hands of the Vanderbilt Commodores. After starting the month with an upset of Alabama, Vandy has run the upset formula perfectly -- one that Texas couldn't avoid on Saturday.

What does this performance tell us about the Longhorns' long-term prospects and what do they need to focus on during the bye?

October 24, 2024 - Texas travels to take on Vanderbilt Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

Coming off a tough home loss to the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs, the No. 5 Texas Longhorns head out for their first SEC road game against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

The Longhorns are next up in the line of defenses trying to contain Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who piloted them to an upset of the Alabama Crimson Tide. He is the spark for the offense thanks to both his legs and his arm, using the legs to create throwing opportunities.

Can the Texas defense keep him contained and can the offense avoid another slow start?

Show notes

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns looked outmatched by the Georgia Bulldogs, letting them build a big lead and then slow the game down.

Texas, for its part, struggled to hold onto the ball and extend drives, giving the UGA offense prime field position to punch the ball in for short scores.

October 17, 2024 - Texas hosts Georgia Oct 17, 2024

Show notes

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns are hosting their biggest matchup of the year, the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs in a matchup that will go a long way in determining who plays for the SEC Championship.

Texas has mowed down the competition ahead of them, but has yet to face a team on the level of the Bulldogs -- who boast one of the best Blue Chip Ratios in college football. Conversely, the Longhorns are head-and-shoulders above what UGA has seen so far this year, setting up the titanic matchup.

October 15, 2024 - Texas dominates Oklahoma in Red River Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns continued to take care of business and did so in convincing fashion against rival Oklahoma on Saturday.

It was a slow start for the offense, going the entire first quarter without a score and trailing for the first time this season. Thankfully, the defense was elite, holding the Sooners to just three points and allowing the offense to find its rhythm. What did we learn about Texas and how does it spin forward as they continue their first trek through the SEC?

Show notes

Just because football was off doesn't mean there was no action on campus. We dive in deep on volleyball as they build momentum through SEC play, while the soccer team deals with injuries to star players.

We also keep it country club and preview the action from the No. 4 women's and No. 11 men's golf teams as they get some young talent added to the rosters.

October 1, 2024 - Texas takes care of Mississippi State Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Despite some inconsistent play, the No. 2 Texas Longhorns opened SEC play with a convincing win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

The matchup with the Bulldogs exposed a lot of what Texas needs to focus on in the bye week with the Sooners on the horizon. Defensively, Texas showed some uncharacteristic struggles against the run with the Bulldogs trying to stretch the defense and then attack the middle.

Offensively, the Longhorns saw more than 100 yards lost or negated thanks to injury, as well as losing two fumbles in the contest. That level of inconsistency will cost Texas wins deeper into SEC play.

September 26, 2024 - No. 1 Texas vs. Mississippi State Preview Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns open SEC play for the first time as heavy favorites against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at home.

Texas has cruised through its first four games, but regardless of what happened, starting SEC play is a unique challenge. How will the Longhorns fare in their first game in the new conference?
