Show notes

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 explosive offense to the Forty Acres.

September 12, 2023 - Texas Knocks off Alabama in Tuscaloosa Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

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 season and their future in the SEC?

September 7, 2023 - Alabama Crimson Tide Preview Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

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.

September 5, 2023 - Rice Owls Recap Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

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 that up as they head to Tuscaloosa?

August 30, 2023 - Alabama and Rice Previews Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

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 2023, there are questions on both sidelines as teams head into opening week.

Rice comes to town with a familiar face at quarterback, JT Daniels, who Texas faced at USC and WVU prior to his transfers. So what do the reloaded Owls bring to the table in 2023?

August 24, 2023 - Special Teams Preview Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

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 punting units.

Will it be enough to make the special teams a massive asset as Texas looks to achieve its season goals?

August 22, 2023 - Recruiting with Mike Roach Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

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.

August 17, 2023 - Wyoming Cowboys Preview Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

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 year's defense is a positive and get a season prediction from our guest.

August 15, 2023 - Defensive Backs Preview Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

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 group may need a few games to fully find its stride.
