Longhorn Republic: September 22, 2022 - Texas Tech Preview Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

For the first time this season, the Texas Longhorns are headed on the road, making their way to Lubbock to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders to open conference play. Texas Tech had a successful start to the season against Murray State but had to gut out an overtime win over the Houston Cougars and went on the road against North Carolina State and came back with a loss. So what will Texas Tech look like on Saturday and what can we expect from Texas in its first game away from DKR this year? We also dive in on the women's golf team's big outing in College Station, staff moves across campus, and what we've been streaming this week.

Longhorn Republic: September 20, 2022 - Recapping UTSA Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns needed a convincing win over the UTSA Roadrunners to convince everyone that what happened against the Alabama Crimson Tide was not a one-game season. Thankfully, Texas got big performances from some of its biggest stars to help put the game away. What did Texas show us that we haven't seen in years past and what can we hope they take from it forward? We also take a look at the Texas volleyball team, looking dominant in their last non-conference matchups, while the golf and tennis teams getting back into action for the 2022-23 academic year as Texas begins its march for a Director's Cup repeat.

Longhorn Republic: September 18, 2022 - UTSA Instant Reaction Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns struggled with the UTSA Roadrunners early, falling behind 17-7 after an onside kick and a trick play that took advantage of a seeming lack of focus early. The Longhorns responded by scoring 17 unanswered points to take a 24-17 lead and never looked back. Texas leaned on its star players in this matchup, with running back Bijan Robinson doing the bulk of the work on the ground for Texas — amassing 183 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. Roschon Johnson, who was a spark plug for Texas in the first half, did great work on his own, finishing with 81 yards on 11 carries. Defensively, the Roadrunners found success early completing short passes under the Texas defense, with their receivers capitalizing on space created by the Texas blitzes. Second-half adjustments allowed Texas to clamp down on that, holding UTSA to just three points in the second half. Now Texas turns its focus to conference play, hoping to take advantage of a tumultuous year in the Big 12.

Longhorn Republic: September 13, 2022 - Alabama Recap Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns have a lot of lessons they can take from the narrow loss against the Alabama Crimson Tide as they head into the next 10 games. Texas forced the reigning Heisman winner to create Heisman moments on two drives to overcome a fourth-quarter deficit, after forcing six-consecutive punts in the second and third quarters. The Texas offense had a lot going early, but injuries to the first two quarterbacks on the depth chart left Texas scrambling to make plays late. With opportunities to make plays all over the field, what were we the proudest of for the Longhorns, and what are the biggest opportunities moving forward? We also dive in on the volleyball team's continued dominance, the soccer team's unbeaten streak, and how the women's golf team is faring during their season-opener.

Longhorn Republic: September 11, 2022 - Texas Loses Close to Alabama Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns came into the game as double-digit underdogs at home, but the No. 1 team in the country had to depend on its kicker and the Alabama Crimson Tide won it 20-19. Texas played the majority of the game without quarterback Quinn Ewers, who left the game in the first quarter due to an injury. The Longhorns took a 19-16 lead late, but Heisman winner Bryce Young led Alabama on a game-winning drive to close it out. The defense forced six consecutive punts and frustrated the offense for the majority of the game, save for two long drives in the second half. There’s plenty of success to build on moving forward, but there are no moral victories in football. The banged-up Longhorns now have to turn the page and avoid a hangover as they take on a talented UTSA squad that would love for Texas to start the season 1-2.

Longhorn Republic: September 8, 2022 - Alabama Preview Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

It's the marquee matchup of the offseason as the Texas Longhorns prepare to square off with the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide for the weekend's premier game. The big storyline is the national championship rematch that seemingly started the Alabama dynasty and ended the Texas one, but there's so much more to it. Texas has a chance to see how they stack up against the most elite SEC school before they head to the conference in the coming years, while Alabama is on yet another warpath to a CFP trophy. What can Texas do in the face of one of the most talented teams in the SEC? And how can the defense keep Bryce Young from getting comfortable moving the offense?
