College Football Playoff: No. 16 Texas now needs four teams to lose to get in No. 16 Texas kept their slim College Football Playoff hopes alive with the 27-17 win over No. 3 Texas A&M. While there can be an argument made Texas should/could be in with three top 10 wins and a very difficult road schedule, that's not the reality right now of what Tuesday's College Football Playoff ranking is saying. And that's all that matters headed into Saturday. I'll start with this ... I believe Texas will end up jumping ahead of No. 12 Utah (the Utes should drop 2-3 spots off last two weeks alone, plus their schedule). If not, that's egregious. But let's start…

A massive win for the Texas Longhorns! 2027 Brother Martin (La.) WR Easton Royal has committed to Texas following the win over Texas A&M. Royal was on campus for the second time in four weeks last night and was able to take in the environment as a result. A decision to commit to Texas comes one day after. I saw Royal in the spring, he is a legit option for being the top WR in the country. Runs 10.3 and is spectacular off the field as well. View full news story

I woke up with a headache this morning. But Mike Elko and every Aggie you know woke up with a bigger one. Why? Because they know they have to play Texas every year. And, despite a multitude of rumors and insinuations otherwise over the past two months, neither Arch Manning nor Steve Sarkisian will be going anywhere but to College Station this same time next year. ** The Longhorns’ regular season was anything but a straight-line. A splatter chart of their offensive and defensive performances throughout the year might better resemble 5-7, not 9-3. But the Horns, after floundering on offense for the first half of the year, and on defense in…

Approximately 24 seniors will walk later today in DKR, their final home game as Longhorns. While all of them have been party to the resurgence of the Texas football program in their careers, a few of them have played major roles and deserve to be singled out further. OL DJ Campbell - a three-year starter. Picked Texas and Steve Sarkisian over Oklahoma signaling a change in DFW recruiting four years ago. OL Cole Hutson - a two-year starter and key back-up his other two seasons, Hutson has been a reliable mainstay of the OL his entire career. DE Ethan Burke - a multi-year starter with multiple memorable plays, including one a year ago this week. If he ha…

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian will meet with the media following the Longhorns 27–17 victory over Texas A&M. Plenty on the line still for the Horns. Updates in the comments below. View full news story

Can you believe it is already the final week of the season? Pretty wild. But anyways – It’s time! Texas and Texas A&M square off in Austin for the first time in 15 years. The Longhorns are looking to keep Playoff hopes alive while ruining the Aggies’ perfect season. *** 1st Quarter Sarkisian has been setting up the Wingo screen pass for a month+. I can’t believe he actually tried it. What a snag by Mosley to move the chains and drive alive. Texas is living in third and long, which is not ideal start. And yep, pressure gets home from A&M, forces an errant throw. Texas will punt. Booooouwmeeester! A&M punts on their first dri…

Texas vs. Texas A&M Visitor List The visitor list for the Texas vs. Texas A&M game is a little light due to Friday and Saturday high school playoff games across the state of Texas.

With that said, the staff will be hosting a more than a handful of juniors in Texas that the Longhorns have offered. OnTexasFootball provides the the list of confirmed attendees, with the understanding more will be added up to game time Friday. Official visits ... Toray Davis, CB/DB, Boulder (Co.) Fairview Charlie Jilek, TE, Portage (Mi.) Ce…

If Anthony Hill Jr plays on Friday, it’s because he desperately wants to beat Texas A&M. Hill was listed as QUESTIONABLE once again, I am hearing he is not a true 50/50 to play. Hill remains pretty banged up, and it would not come as a surprise if he was a game-time scratch. Texas is going to heavily rely on Liona Lefau and Trey Moore until Ty’Anthony Smith returns in the 3rd quarter. We will see come Friday evening, but I’m not entirely optimistic currently.

1. Early last week, I mentioned there was some good recruiting news headed the way of the Longhorns that no one was really talking about at that time. Absolutely nothing has changed in that regard; in fact, it was only further solidified yesterday. The only thing that has been fluid is the timeline of the recruit in question. 2. Georgetown running back Jett Walker is a lifelong Longhorn fan. How much so? He told CJ Vogel that they played The Eyes of Texas at his grandmother's funeral. 3. California linebacker commitment Rocky Cummings looked even better in person than some expected. Unlike Florida State linebacker commitment Karon Maycock, who the Longhorns…

The No. 4 ranked Texas Women’s Basketball team is just moments away from taking on No. 2 ranked South Carolina. Yesterday the Horns beat No. 3 UCLA with just seven players. That will be the case again for this game and probably for the foreseeable future. Freshman phenom Aaliyah Crump is in a boot after a foot injury. Unfortunately, sources have told me that she will be out awhile. Texas is also expected to be without senior guard Ashton Judd and sophomore guard Bryanna Preston as well. There is no timetable for their return as of now. The road doesn’t get any easier after tonight’s game either, as both Baylor and North Carolina loom large.

At this time of year and for this game, I always think back to one of my fondest childhood memories (and part of what sparked my lasting obsession with Texas Longhorn football). The year was 1977. I was all of eight years old. I woke up that morning 48 years ago and my dad told me to get my Longhorns t-shirt on. Surprisingly, he announced we were going to drive up to College Station from Houston and see if we could scalp tickets to Texas vs Texas A&M to see Earl Campbell’s final regular season game as a Longhorn. My parents were both blue collar workers. They didn’t have a lot of money to spend on football tickets. But my dad was so convicted of the ide…

There are currently two HI’s out there.

Sarkisian Updates the LB Position *** Texas will officially be without TyAnthony Smith for the first half against Texas A&M. Steve Sarkisian said that Texas did appeal the targeting call with league officials, but the decision was upheld and Smith will not see the field for the first half. "I thought Ty'Anthony used really good fundamentals and techniques," Sarkisian said. "He kept the crown of his helmet out of it. He wrapped. He didn't launch himself into the receiver. We did appeal it, and our appeal was denied." Meanwhile, Sarkisian did mention LB Anthony Hill Jr. is expected to be available on Friday during the postgame after the Arkansas…

LB Rocky Cummings Flips to Texas *** Another one! The third flip commit of the week for the Texas Longhorns comes on Thanksgiving Eve from 2026 Carlsbad (Calif.) LB Rocky Cummings. Cummings was offered two weeks ago and very quickly scheduled his official visit for the Longhorns this past weekend against Arkansas. Listed at 6–4 and 220 pounds, Cummings looks every bit of that after seeing him arrive for his OV. Texas continues to stack size and speed at the line backing position and Cummings fits the mold perfectly. View full news story

In the first injury report of the week, Texas linebacker Anthony Hill was listed as questionable. It’s interesting because that is in opposition to what coach Steve Sarkisian said immediately following the Arkansas game - that Hill would play against the Aggies. Yet it makes sense. Hill’s injury is typically a two-to-three timeframe. The Texas defense needs Hill to be ready in the worst way, especially with TyAnthony Smith sidelined for the first half. Without Hill and Smith, I’m not sure the Texas linebackers can handle an Aggie offense that tests opposing linebackers better than just about any team in the country. ** We are all well aware t…
