Texas head coach is on the podium with the local media to close out the Florida loss and to begin the week ahead for Oklahoma.

Hoops Recruiting: Texas doing well with two 5-stars With 4-star++ SG/W Bo Ogden (Austin/Westlake) in the boat, Sean Miller and staff are full steam ahead with the two top targets remaining on the board. Austin Goosby ... Texas continues to battle Duke and BYU for 5-star CG Austin Goosby (Melissa, Texas/High). The 6-foot-5.5 versatile guard has wrapped up the official visit process, and is now getting into evaluating options and making a decision. OTF has Texas in the lead, with a decision expected prior to late October. Cameron Williams ... The Longhorns continue to quietly be positioned in a good spot for 6-foot-11 power forward and future NBA lotter…

No Easy Yards in the 2025 Texas Offense It was not very fun watching football on Saturday afternoon. While there is no need to beat a dead horse here, the Texas was straight up bad. Across the board, it was a miserable watch. I will get into some numbers as this article expands, but altogether, there has not been an offense in the Sark era that makes life significantly tougher for itself quite like this Texas offense. Off the bat, Arch Manning's average distance of target on Saturday was 20.4 yards downfield according to PFF. That is the highest single game average distance of target of any quarterback in college football for the 2025 season. In fact,…

OTF on the road: Kohen Brown and 2027 S JayQuan Snell Waxahachie, Texas - OnTexasFootball is on the road in DFW this week seeing both commitments to Texas, and 2027 targets for the Longhorns. The first stop of the week was Monday afternoon practice at Waxahachie High. The Indians have 10-12 future FBS players on their roster from sophomore through senior classes. We will focus on two, for now. Texas WR commit Kohen Brown ... I had two different assistant coaches in the last three weeks that have seen Brown compare the 5-foot-11, 190-pounder to Matt Golden in high school. And they mean the player, as Brown is more physically developed at the …

I’m amazed. I probably shouldn’t be, given that I’ve been covering college football and the Longhorns for 30+ years. But it still gets me every time. The sheer amount of people who expect absolute perfection on every snap, in every game, and from every player with no or little regard to their experience level, their talent level or the talent and experience level of their opponents. I’m not talking about fair, honest critiques. I’m talking about the folks who don’t seem to understand that context matters. ** I would also like to remind folks who want to fire this coach or that coach, it was just four short years ago that Texas went 5-7. …

Running list of visitors for this weekend's Texas-OU game in Dallas. The Longhorns are the home team, so they will host prospects for the game. Keep in mind, coaches are typically unable to meet with recruits during the game since it is a neutral field, however the invitation remains important. *** Texas 2026 Commits Dia Bell, QB, Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage #AllGasNoBrakes OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star Derrek Cooper, RB, Hollywood (Fla.)

Quick update on Texas WR Parker Livingstone — Reports are surfacing that Texas is expected to have Livingstone available this weekend vs. Oklahoma. That is the plan for now. Livinngstone, and Texas, dodged a pretty significant injury on Saturday following a hit to the leg after a pretty remarkable reception. X-rays came back clean, and nothing structural is believed to be affected following the hit. For Livingstone’s availability and how much we will see of him this weekend, that will be dependent upon pain tolerance and swelling. Having covered Parker since HS, this game has always meant a lot to him. Now that he is a main piece of the Texas…

Texas after 2027 WR from DFW Crandall, Texas - One of the top wide receivers on the board in the 2027 cycle for the Texas Longhorns is Jeremiah Douglas of Crandall High. OnTexasFootball stopped by Crandall High Tuesday for practice to get the latest, and an up close look at the Texas 2027 offer. The 5-11.5, 175-pounder with a game gear speaks with Chris Jackson at least once a week, and that has been consistent since the Longhorns offered May 2, 2025. Jackson has made it known to Douglas, his family and the Crandall High staff that Douglas is a priority for the Longhorns. Douglas has been on campus in Austin since the offer for Elite Camp, and is a p…

Some injury news… - We expect Tre Wisner, Parker Livingstone and Manny Muhammad to be able to go on Saturday. - There was an injury to a different player that was sustained against Florida that was cause for a level of concern during Tuesday’s practice. We’ll see what that means later today following the Longhorns’ morning practice and whether or not it is revealed by Steve Sarkisian in the first injury report that comes out later this evening. ** In recruiting news, I am told that Dre Quinn, the defensive end from Atlanta who originally committed to Clemson during the summer then de-committed two weeks ago, is close to pledging to Ohio State foll…

The first availability report has been released. No surprises here, but a great sign to see both CB Malik Muhammad and WR Parker Livingstone listed as PROBABLE. View full news story

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian will meet with the media one final time Thursday morning ahead of the Longhorns' trip north to Dallas for a meeting with the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. Sarkisian will likely provide updates on injury report, final preparations for the game this weekend and closing thoughts on the Sooners. Follow along for notes and quotes in the comments down below.

Four-star center Peyton Miller high on the Horns Anna, Texas - When it comes to listing the top offensive line prospects on the board for the Longhorns in the 2027 cycle, Peyton Miller (Anna, Texas/High) is at the top at center. In fact, the 6-foot-5, 305-pounder is the only center Kyle Flood is after. Texas offered the third year starter for the Coyotes June 1 after a workout at Elite Camp. Since that time, Flood has stayed in contact with the Northern most DFW area junior on a weekly basis. "It's been great," Miller told OTF Thursday after athletic period. "Ever since camp last summer, we have been in touch. Since being in touch with him and coached by …

No change for the Texas Longhorns on their Thursday evening availability report. CB Malik Muhammad and WR Parker Livingstone remain PROBABLE. RB CJ Baxter remains DOUBTFUL. *** However, Oklahoma QB John Mateer has been upgraded to PROBABLE. View full news story

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer was upgraded to “probable” last night. That decreases the chances of a Longhorn victory IMO. But it simultaneously increases the odds that the Longhorns are going to be pushed to fight as hard as they can on every play. That they’ll play with an unbridled passion and focus. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen a level of consistent focus and passion this year. Maybe this game, maybe Mateer, shakes the cobwebs loose. ** I hope folks realize the indictment of what I wrote above really is. Right now, this team is not playing well on a number of levels. The offensive line looks lost against pressure. The interior defens…

A few nuggets from the week of practice leading up to the Red River Shootout on Saturday. *** First, the expectation is freshman Nick Brooks trots out for the first offensive drive of the game. Brooks has been the primary recipient of left guard snaps all week in practice. As for the offensive line in general, they know their backs are against the wall. Will that ignite an improved performance? We will see. But when comments are made throughout the week praising scout team defensive linemen and their ability to create havoc plays behind the line of scrimmage, it doesn't inspire much confidence. – Additionally, freshman WR Michael Terry III was on…

Texas vs. No. 6 Oklahoma: Live Game Thread It's 4:22 am and OU still sux View full news story

We’re here at the Fair so early this morning that I don’t even smell the fried food or stale beer quite yet. But in a couple of hours, this place will be packed with Longhorns and Sooners alike. I’ve said all week I think the Longhorns find a way to pull out a victory. I don’t know exactly how, but just call it a feeling. ** Texas fans should harbor no illusions today. Arch Manning was hit hard and often in Gainesville. The Gators racked up 35 pressures and six sacks. You can bet the Sooners will likely have similar success. But remember, Texas also scored 21 points in Gainesville. Texas may not be an offense that moves the chains, …

*** DALLAS, Texas – The best weekend of the year is here! Texas. Oklahoma. In Dallas, Texas. Let’s get to it. 1st Quarter Texas has won the toss and elected to defer. Let’s see what type of physicality and energy this team begins with them. John Mateer is the starting quarterback for the Sooners, and he instantly rips a seam ball on third down. Lance Jackson gets some immediate pressure on a third down and 4 to force a field goal. That was a welcomed sight. It looks like Texas will be playing against themselves on Saturday. Already a false start and a holding call on the first three plays of the game from the offensive line. You will n…

The postgame press conference will include both members of Oklahoma and Texas, beginning with the losing team – Oklahoma. Will post updates from both teams as the press conferences are conducted. Notes and quotes in the comments down below. View full news story

We witnessed something yesterday that I’m not sure everyone will fully appreciate until maybe later this year, or even into the off-season and beyond. We saw Arch Manning grow up. In a game against a quality opponent and rival, he got rid of the ball instead of taking sacks. He took what the defense gave him. He moved in the pocket. He ran effectively. He wasn’t lured into taking multiple deep shots. Instead, he calmly engineered three straight 10-plus play drives against the nation’s top-ranked defense, converting both the easy plays and the difficult ones, all while never putting the ball in harm’s way. In the fourth quarter, with the game on the lin…

A quick look at the offensive and defensive snap counts for both sides of the football vs. Oklahoma. *** Defensive Snap Counts Out of 70 total snaps. 25 different Longhorns saw snaps. 66 – Jaylon Guilbeau 64 – Anthony Hill Jr. 62 – Jelani McDonald 59 – Michael Taaffe 58 – Malik Muhammad 56 – Colin Simmons 53 – Graceson Littleton 40 – Liona Lefau 31 – Trey Moore 30 – Hero Kanu 29 – Alex January 27 – Ethan Burke 26 – Maraad Watson 25 – TyAnthony Smith 22 – Brad Spence 20 – Zina Umeozulu, Derek Williams Jr. 17 – Cole Brevard 12 – Xavier Filsaime, Colto…

The Golden Hat will remain in Austin, Texas for another 365 days! It was a dominant performance from the Texas defense, and the most well-rounded full game performance from the Texas Longhorns in all three phases. Let's get into the Good and Bad from Saturday. *** Good Horn Protect the Ball It was discussed all week, game-changing plays including takeaways, special teams and missed opportunities for points are what swings neutral field, rivalry games. Arch Manning did exactly that. Out of his 27 pass attempts on Saturday, not a single one was deemed a turnover worthy play. Tre Wisner was tremendous in ball security as well. Texas did a fantastic job …

For the first time this year, we witnessed a successful identity on offense, one that is clearly starting to build. Furthermore, it’s an identity that can be replicated and even improved upon. Now, one game does not a season make. But… If Texas can lean into that identity again and again this season, there’s a path to being a good offensive football team. And what’s even wilder is this: There’s still a ton of meat left on the bone for where this Texas offense could wind up if they keep improving. Think about it. - Arch Manning keeps improving. I don’t know how he plays a cleaner game than he did against OU. But I think there will ev…

2026 Recruiting: New offer; two new names The Texas Longhorns are up to two 2026 cycle senior year eval offers with Kyle Flood extending an offer to Vero Beach (Fla.) High offensive tackle and current UCLA pledge Micah Smith Sunday. Texas cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey is also making senior year evals, and is now in contact with a Houston area Big 12 commit. Wide receiver ... Jalen Lott, WR, Frisco (Texas) Panther Creek - *Oregon commit OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ Note: Texas still trending positively here. Chris Henry Jr., WR, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei - *Ohio State commit OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star Note: Remains long shot,…

Player of the Week accolades have been released from the SEC after week seven action and three Longhorns are receving notice. *** Colin Simmons Named the Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week. Simmons had 2.5 sacks and 5 tackles. Ryan Niblett Named the Co-Special Teams Player of the Week. Niblett's 75-yard punt return touchdown helped extend the lead for the Longhorns in the 2nd half. Essentially put the game on ice. Malik Muhammad Named the Defensive Player of the Week. Two interceptions and an additional pass breakup for Muhammad. It was a heck of a performance in his own backyard. View full news story
