July 31, 2026 - Florida Gators Preview Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

One of the glaring losses on the Texas Longhorns' schedule a year ago was a frustrating loss to the Florida Gators.

The Longhorns went to the swamp with high hopes for SEC play and walked away with a conference loss, that would eventually keep them out of the playoffs. With a new regime bringing the Gators to Austin, what can we expect from them?

July 29, 2026 - Mississippi State Preview Jul 29, 2026

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns narrowly escaped Starkville with a win a year ago, but this Mississippi State team has a new look.

Replaced coordinators and transferred-in players means that Mississippi State has room to make a statement or put a nail in Jeff Lebby's coffin.

July 23, 2026 - Texas Defensive Line Preview Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns return a ton of defensive production from last year, but have to apply that talent to a new system.

New defensive coordinator Will Muschamp brings a new front and a new mentality to the Forty Acres. What can we expect from the returning talent in a system that may be built for them to shine?

July 21, 2026: Texas Offensive Line Preview Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns have some turnover in the trenches, but may have leveled up after adding two of the most-coveted linemen from the transfer portal.

Statistics show that Arch Manning's production skyrocketed after the Longhorns got the right grouping up front in 2025. Can the current group keep that trajectory?

July 14, 2026: Wide Receiver Preview Jul 14, 2026

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns landed one of the biggest portal targets this offseason, bringing Cam Coleman to the Forty Acres to give the offense a high-end receiving threat. He's paired with Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley to round out a receiving group that could give Texas its best chance to have an explosive threat heading into a pivotal season.

What do we expect from this group, and how can it propel the Texas offense to its goals in 2026?

July 9, 2026 - Texas Running Backs Preview Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns lost the top four running backs from last year's team, but have seemingly gone all-in on a pair of runners that they think can take them to the next level.

The duo of Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown were two of the top RBs in the transfer portal, and seemingly come to Texas with hopes to increase their championship potential and NFL Draft stock.

Can their explosive playmaking ability help get Texas over the hump?

July 8, 2026 - Missouri Tigers Preview Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

As we continue our march toward the season, we continue our reverse-order previews and land on the Missouri Tigers.

After meeting regularly in the Big 12, the two former foes met just one time in the last 10 years, a Texas Bowl win in two previous eras for both teams. The Longhorns are now in the SEC with a new coaching staff and the Tigers are building a lasting threat in the conference.

What can we expect from the Tigers in 2026, with a refreshed core of players and a coaching staff looking to rework itself?

July 2, 2026 - What should we expect from Arch? Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

We begin our summer self-scouting with the man everyone can't help but talk about: Texas quarterback Arch Manning.

It's undeniable that Manning started the 2025 campaign on a low note, struggling against Ohio State and playing well below expectations. However, as the season went on, and Texas figured out its offensive line, Manning's production shot up and he ended the season with two of his best games.

Heading into what most assume is his final year in Austin, what is fair to expect from the former No. 1 quarterback?

June 30, 2026 - LSU Tigers Preview Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

We continue our march through the summer, working through the Texas Longhorns' schedule as we prepare for the 2026 season. This week, we dive in on the LSU Tigers with the help of Louis Johnson of The Last Word on Sports.

What are the expectations for Lane Kiffin in Year 1? How do fans feel about the attention that comes with that coach? And what did Kiffin like about the defense that led him to retain the defensive coordinator?

June 24, 2026 - Arkansas Razorbacks Preview Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

We continue our march through the 2026 schedule, landing on Game 11 against the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Our old SWC rival will look completely different in 2026, with a coaching change and a refresh of nearly all its offensive talent. What do we expect from them in the first season of a new era and can they build momentum heading into the future?
