AUSTIN, Texas – Welcome to the Audition San Jose State, UTEP and Sam Houston State. In most years, these would be looked at stat games. Go out-talent the opposition and put up numbers that make the end of season box scores looks much prettier. But these next three weeks have a deeper purpose for the Texas playmaking unit. It's audition time in Austin, Texas. In Columbus for the opener, the Longhorns trotted out 2 running backs, 4 wide receivers and 4 tight ends. Obviously the circle of trust was going to be thin in the opener against the defending National Champions. But Texas is going to need younger talent to see the field to establish the depth requ…

Texas vs. Sam Houston State … September 20, 2025 Game 4 **** Texas is under the lights for the first time this fall. Exciting for the next opportunity to see this offense grow. Texas wins the toss and starts on the field with its defense, which very quickly forces a three & out. I love that. Let your defense set the tone – and they did. Manning is completing passes – they are low – but they are complete. He is 4–5 passing to start the game for 55 yards. You take that all day on opening drives. Great run by Jerrick Gibson, who got the start today, to find the end zone. Gibson got small, brushed off some arms and bolted right to the end zo…

Texas 2026 schedule: Things to know The SEC announced the nine game schedules for 2026-29 Tuesday night on ESPN2. As expected, the 2026 schedule is heavy on the Manning family's history in the SEC with Arch possibly being in his final year in Austin. There is a chance that four or five of the teams on the 2026 schedule for the Longhorns have new head coaches, and probably at least half will have new starting quarterbacks. Non-conference ... Sept. 5 vs. Texas State - could very well have a new head coach with jobs such as Oklahoma State, Arkansas and possibly Ole Miss coming open. Not to mention Baylor, if things go south. Sept. 12 vs. Ohio State …

Trip to Gainesville is Another Opportunity for Texas to Take Territory in Florida Florida’s ownership has changed hands several times throughout history. Originally home to Indigenous peoples, it was claimed by Spain in 1513, ceded to Britain in 1763, returned to Spain in 1783, and finally transferred to the United States in 1821. Eventually, Florida officially became the 27th U.S. state in 1845. Now, the state itself is not up for sale, but there is room for territory to be claimed – especially in the world of recruiting. Texas has etched out some trails of its own over the past few years and will take five players on its current roster back to the S…

In college sports, there are few things sweeter than going on the road and defeating your arch-rival. There are even fewer things better than capsizing another team’s chances at post-season opportunities and demoralizing a fan base. So that was the case on Saturday afternoon when the Texas basketball team went to College Station and put Texas A&M and Bucky Ball back in its place, defeating the Aggies 76-70. Texas weathered early foul trouble before taking command of the contest in the second half. It was a complete win for the Horns. It was a reality check defeat for the Aggies, who had prematurely high hopes for the season after a strong start to …

In college, it's a position where fans and talking heads speculate often about how bright the future of the program could be.

One year ago Sean Miller was announced as the next Texas men’s head basketball coach following another early round NCAA Tournament exit for the Longhorns, coincidentally at the hands of Miller’s former Xavier team in the First Four. Miller was tasked with hitting the ground running on building his first roster at Texas.

First things first, Miller had to figure out who from last year’s roster…

AUSTIN, Texas — The Longhorns will host their annual Football Fan Day on Saturday, as Texas concludes spring football with an open practice. It won’t be a traditional spring game, but the team will scrimmage in some capacity for the fans on hand at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. “Ballpark, you know, we'll probably go about 70-75 plays or so. Of those 70-75 plays, I'd venture to guess between 45 to 50 of those will be live," Steve Sarkisian said this week. "Part of that will be a thud tempo, because when we go to live I take some of these guys out so that they don't get some of those nicked up injuries, and I need to see more of our younger players play live footb…
