I spoke with Phil Steele this morning about the Longhorns and his take on the 2026 CFB season.

“A Legitimate National Title Contender” — Phil Steele’s BOLD Texas Prediction | Steve Sarkisian

 

Speaking of Phil Steele are preseason magazines hitting the racks yet?

At Barnes & Noble and Books-a-Million. 

Yall are killing it with the interviews lately 🤘

That was a great interview. 

Searching for Phil Steele's preview and DCTF around the 4th of July has marked the beginning of football season for me going on 25 years.🤘

Well done, Bobby.  Keep up the good work.  P

Did you ask Phil if statistics lie? 😂  Phil is the king of patting himself on the back because one of his 19 power sets predicted that “x university” would be nationally competitive this season.  I actually think his work is better than most, but if you give yourself enough shots at the basket you have a decent chance of scoring.

His point about and expectations of the Texas OL is what I tried to highlight.

He's much "higher" on the Texas OL going into this season than most folks are. Experience matters.

On what side of the ball though, both or just offensive firepower?
