    The Texas Longhorns were embarrassing offensively in the Red River Rivalry, but have a chance to bounce back against a talented but flawed Florida Gators defense.

  6. October 13, 2026 - Texas's embarrassing performance against OU

    The formerly undefeated Texas Longhorns saw their offensive issues prove to be even costlier, dropping the annual rivalry game to the Oklahoma Sooners. The offense looked anemic and didn't do the defense any favors as they gave Oklahoma the ball in advantageous positions. What went wrong for…

  13. September 15, 2026 - Breaking down Texas's historic comeback on Ohio State

    The start of the game looked like another big-game dud from Steve Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns, but as Texas overcame a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit, narratives started to change. Arch Manning and the offense took advantage of three empty frames from the defense to score 21-unanswered points…

  31. July 9, 2026 - Texas Running Backs Preview
