November 21, 2019 - Baylor Preview Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

With the Big 12 Championship off the table, the Texas Longhorns head north to take on the Baylor Bears in a game that could soften some of the blow of the season as well as give insight into the future of the program. The Texas defense has another tall task in taking on Charlie Brewer and the high-powered Bears passing game, while the offense has to figure out how to create an advantage against a tough Baylor front. How will Texas fare against the Bears Saturday and what does that mean for the future of Texas football? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

November 19, 2020 - Iowa State Recap Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns' hopes for a trip to the Big 12 Championship game are essentially over this week as they lose to the Iowa State Cyclones 23-21 on the road. The Longhorns struggled early, but the defense clamped down after the second series of the game while the offense continued to struggle. So where does Texas go from here? Will there be any changes in the scheme or will our coaching staff stick to what they've been using all ear? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

November 14, 2019 - Iowa State Preview Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns currently sit third in the Big 12, needing another big win in order to keep their hopes at playing for a conference championship alive. To do that they will travel to Ames to take on the Iowa State Cyclones, who hope to reverse their fortunes after back-to-back narrow losses dropped them to the bottom half of the conference. Iowa State is paced by Brock Purdy, the No. 6 quarterback in the country averaging 316 yards per game and 8.8 yards per passing attempt. Can a seemingly rejuvenated Texas defense slow down the high-paced Cyclones signal caller? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

November 12, 2019 - Kansas State Recap Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns started slow defensively but managed to close the game out strong and put the Kansas State Wildcats' offense on its heels for the majority of the second half. Adjustments by defensive coordinator Todd Orlando and outstanding individual efforts by defenders put Texas in position to win. Offensively, the Longhorns found their stride on the ground, with Keaontay Ingram putting up career numbers, propelling the offense, while Collin Johnson found space behind the defense thanks to the RPO schemes. Texas may have found a bit of its identity offensively as they enter the critical fourth quarter of the season. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

November 7, 2019 - Kansas State Preview Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns begin the final stretch of the season Saturday, taking on the Kansas State Wildcats at home, hoping to beat KSU for the third consecutive time which would be the longest streak against KSU in school history. The Texas defense gets back several key players, including sophomore safety Caden Sterns, in hopes that the defense can stop the bleeding. Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson has been inconsistent this year, but has really put it together over the last two weeks in wins over the Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas Jayhawks. Can Texas keep another up-and-coming quarterback from having a coming out party against them? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

November 5, 2019 - The Final Four Games Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns have four games left on the schedule with a lot left to prove and the story of the season still unwritten in many ways. If Texas can put up a positive result over the next four weeks, much of the narrative of the season may change in a major way. Left on the schedule are the Kansas State Wildcats, the Iowa State Cyclones, the conference-leading Baylor Bears and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. What's a fair expectation for the end of the season? How can Texas possibly stick the landing after struggling so mightily on defense? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

October 31, 2019 - Texas Basketball preview Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

It’s the second bye week, so we took the opportunity to preview the Texas Longhorns basketball team as they head toward their tipoff on Nov. 5 against Northern Colorado. Head coach Shaka Smart heads into his fifth season at the helm for the Longhorns, looking to improve on a season that ended as the NIT Champion a year ago. Texas will likely be helmed by a group of talented guards, with Courtney Ramey, Matt Coleman and Jase Febres leading the charge, as well as a likely return from Andrew Jones and freshman Donovan Williams. The emergence of Jaxson Hayes led him to the NBA, so a rotational group of big men will likely need several contributors to find success in the 2019-2020 season.

October 29, 2019 - TCU Recap Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns continued to struggle Saturday, a fact that Gary Patterson and the TCU Horned Frogs took full advantage of, en route to a 37-27 win. The Longhorns actually played well against the run, holding the TCU running backs to double-digits on the ground combined, but quarterback Max Duggan had a field day against the Texas defense. TCU's efforts were aided by offensive struggles, as the coaching staff became more predictable, putting quarterback Sam Ehlinger in bad spots. Ehlinger struggled picking those spots as well, throwing a career-high four interceptions in the loss. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

October 24, 2019 - TCU Preivew Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

It will be another test Saturday for the Texas Longhorns as they travel to Fort Worth to take on the TCU Horned Frogs, a team that Texas has struggled against in recent history. The Horned Frogs have done a good job leaning on their ground game, ranking No. 12 in the country in rushing offense, thanks to the potent combination of Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua. How will the struggling Texas defense try to slow down the talented Horned Frogs duo? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

October 22, 2019 - Kansas Recap Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns were far from sharp on Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks, needing a last-second field goal to come away with a win. The defense, for the second time this year, turned in an all-time worst performance in a single game, thanks to the Jayhawks taking advantage of a banged up secondary. On the ground, Pooka Williams did what he does, bringing in 190 rushing yards, helping set up the Jayhawks in better position for later downs. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.
