August 20, 2024 - Special Teams Preivew Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

With just one week left until game week, we've reached our final position preview - the specialists.

Texas loses one of the most productive punters in the country and has to replace Xavier Worthy as a primary returner, but has a lot of great talent where it counts.

Will the special teams units be a positive for Texas as the margins become thinner in the SEC?

August 15, 2024 - Michigan Wolverines Preview Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

We have reached the penultimate schedule preview, the marquee non-conference matchup against the Michigan Wolverines.

Coming off of the national championship a year ago, the Wolverines need to replace their starting quarterback and their head coach, but have some familiar faces filling those roles. What do fans expect from Michigan in 2024 and what can they do

August 13, 2024 - Defensive Backs Preview Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns have a mix of proven, returning talent, while also bringing in some of the most coveted players from the transfer portal.

What is the floor and the ceiling for this group and what impact will it have on the Longhorns' goals for 2024?

August 8, 2024 - UTSA Roadrunners Preview Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

We are just a few weeks away from the start of college football and are well into the non-conference schedule for Texas, as they prepare to take on the UTSA Roadrunners.

It is the first year post-Frank Harris, the most prolific offensive player in school history, and the Roadrunners must reload at quarterback. There are several different options in the backfield at the most-important positon -- with the other skill positions deep and experienced enough to make due while the quarterback finds its groove.

To gain more insight on UTSA, we reached out to Jared Kalmus of the Alamo Audible podcast to help us break down the I-35 rival.

August 6, 2024 - Linebackers Preview Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns have another key piece to replace on the defense, with Jaylan Ford vacating middle linebacker spot after two of the most productive years in recent history.

In his wake is one of the top linebacker prospects the state of Texas has produced in years with Anthony Hill and sixth-year senior David Gbenda. Can the combination of elite talent and tenure hold things down at the most important spot in Pete Kwiatkowski's defense?

How will the young players factor in to the plans?

August 1, 2024 - Defensive Line Preview Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

We keep it in the trenches for another preview as we break down the defensive line.

Texas loses not one, but two defensive linemen to the NFL Draft and now must replace the centerpiece of the defense. It appears that the coaching staff is looking at replacing them in volume of players rather than the top-end of Murphy and Sweat.

What do we expect from the defensive front and what does that mean for the defense as a whole?

Show notes

We are just four weeks away from kickoff and rapidly reaching the end of our preview series. We start our non-conference slate with a preview of the last non-con game, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.

ULM has struggled over the last few years, culminating in a coaching change. So what does the new era of Warhawks football look like and how are fans anticipating 2024 and beyond?

July 26, 2024 - Offensive Line Preview Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

When the Texas Longhorns announced the move to the SEC one of the biggest questions was their ability to compete in the trenches.

Two years later, the Longhorns boast one of the more experienced lines in the conference that includes a sure-fire first-round pick at the most important position. How does this set up Texas for its first season in the SEC and can they be good enough for the Longhorns to compete for championships?

July 24, 2024 - Mississippi State Bulldogs Preview Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

As we rapidly approach the start of the 2024 college football season, we approach the end of our season previews with the Longhorns' SEC opener -- the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

The new foe features many names familiar to Texas fans, with new head coach Jeffy Lebby and defensive coordinator Coleman Hutzler, to bring a new challenge to the Longhorns. How will that pair bring the Bulldogs back to their former standard in the new-look SEC?

July 18, 2024 - Offensive Skill Preview Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

It's almost a complete turnover for the Texas Longhorns on the offensive side of the ball, with a mix of young players and transfers stepping in to replace what the Longhorns have lost.

How will Texas overcome the loss of its leading rusher and its four top receivers as they make the jump to the SEC? What are the names to watch and how will they fare in 2024?
