Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowTexas football faces tough questions after Ohio State upsetTexas fans are still reeling after the Longhorns’ shocking 14-7 loss to Ohio State, dropping them from No. 1 to No. 7 in the rankings. The biggest concern? Quarterback Arch Manning’s performance and the lack of trust in young receivers, especially with Emmett Mosley’s injury status still uncertain. Coach Sarkisian only felt comfortable playing four wideouts, despite a roster stacked with top recruits. With San Jose State up next, will Texas use these games to give their young talent a shot, or will the pressure to bounce back keep them playing it safe? What do you think needs to change? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowTexas football shakes up top recruit’s plansTexas football made such a strong impression on Oregon commit Kesean Bowman during the Longhorns-Buckeyes game that he’s now planning a visit to Austin.

With other powerhouse programs like Tennessee, Georgia, and Auburn also in the mix, Bowman’s recruitment is heating up fast. It’s wild to see how one game can shift a top recruit’s perspective—what do you think makes a school stand out most to these young stars? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Amy Williams+FollowTexas QB Room: Arch & Lacey NIL Payday BuzzLonghorn Nation, have you seen the numbers coming out of Austin? While “Prince Arch” Manning’s $6.3M NIL valuation grabs headlines, don’t sleep on KJ Lacey. The new four-star backup could be raking in a seven-figure deal just by learning behind Manning.

NIL is changing the game—how high can these paydays go? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball10Share
phughes+FollowTexas punter Bouwmeester shines vs Ohio StateJack Bouwmeester turned heads in the Texas Longhorns’ opener against Ohio State, not just for his booming punts but for how he flipped the field.

Bouwmeester’s performance earned him a spot on the Ray Guy Award’s weekly Ray 8 list, putting him in the national spotlight. How much do you think a great punter can impact a big game? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Amy Williams+FollowTexas vs Texas A&M: The rivalry heats up onlineLonghorns fans tried to take a jab at Texas A&M’s run defense after the Aggies’ game against UTSA, but the attempt backfired spectacularly. While the box score might suggest A&M struggled, a closer look shows they quickly fixed their run defense after a single big play. Ironically, Texas allowed a similar breakout run to the same UTSA player last year. This back-and-forth is just fueling the fire ahead of the big Texas vs A&M showdown in Austin on November 28. Who’s got the edge this year? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowTexas linebacker’s $1.5M hype meets Ohio State realityColin Simmons, Texas’ freshman linebacker with a $1.5 million NIL deal, was silenced by Ohio State’s right tackle Phillip Daniels in the most-watched Week 1 college football game ever. Simmons tried to intimidate Daniels, calling him “trash” before a play, but ended up flagged for ripping off Daniels’ helmet—a penalty that helped Ohio State score a crucial touchdown. Despite Texas’ tough defense, their missed opportunities cost them the game. This clash of egos and talent is sparking debate: Is confidence on the field an asset or a liability? What do you think about the impact of NIL deals on young athletes? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball255Share
Amy Williams+FollowTexas football’s big test: Can Arch Manning and Wisner shine?Texas fans are eager to see if Arch Manning will finally get the green light to unleash his arm against San Jose State after a cautious debut. With the Longhorns coming off a tough loss and San Jose State’s defense looking shaky, this could be the breakout game for both Manning and running back Quintrevion Wisner. Wisner’s poised for a huge day on the ground, and if Texas opens up the playbook, expect fireworks. Meanwhile, San Jose State’s QB Walker Eget has shown he can rack up yards—even in tough matchups. Will Texas cover the spread, or can the Spartans keep it close? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
Amy Williams+FollowTexas offense stalls as Arch Manning strugglesTexas fans felt the sting Saturday as Arch Manning’s nerves took center stage against OSU. Despite solid protection from the offensive line, Manning looked unsettled—missing open receivers and rushing plays that could’ve changed the game. Instead of trusting his pocket and making smart reads, he hesitated and forced throws, leaving points on the field. It’s clear the pressure is mounting, but if Texas wants to bounce back, Manning and the coaching staff need to address these fundamental issues fast. What do you think is the biggest fix Texas needs to make before their next game? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball00Share
