Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South react to Steve Sarkisian declaring Trevor Goosby “good to go” for Texas' season opener against Texas State. The crew debates whether the All-American left tackle should receive meaningful snaps or be protected with Ohio State approaching, while explaining why Andre Cojoe has earned an opportunity to play regardless of Goosby's availability. The guys also break down the competition between Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu opposite Colin Simmons, Justin “Juice” Cryer taking control of the defense's green-dot communication and Texas' plan to rotate extensively in the heat. Plus, they examine how freshmen and transfers could contribute on special teams and confirm that Michigan remains on Texas' reshuffled 2027 schedule. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers examine the remarkable rise of Texas' roster under Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns now have 47 active NFL players—nearly double the 25 they had before Sark arrived—and Texas State head coach G.J. Kinne says NFL scouts believe as many as 15 players from this year's team could be drafted. The panel explains how elite talent at premium positions, including Arch Manning, Colin Simmons, Trevor Goosby and Ryan Wingo, has placed Texas among college football's premier programs. The crew also discusses the maturity separating freshmen such as Richard Wesley, Derrek Cooper, Jermaine Bishop Jr. and Kosi Okpala, along with which young Longhorns could see the field against Texas State. With Steve Sarkisian averaging 11 true freshmen in season openers, Saturday represents a critical opportunity to strengthen the depth chart—but Texas must first control an explosive Bobcats offense before turning its attention to Ohio State.

Jeff Howe and Hank South explain why Hollywood Smothers could become one of the most dangerous weapons in Steve Sarkisian's offense. After catching a touchdown from Arch Manning during high-red-zone work, the former NC State running back continues to display the receiving ability that produced 56 catches, only one drop and 25 missed tackles forced over the past two seasons. With Smothers and Raleek Brown available as checkdown options, Arch may no longer need to force plays or expose himself as a runner. The guys also reveal that Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu are being treated as co-starters opposite Colin Simmons. Their size, versatility and contrasting skill sets could give Will Muschamp several dangerous pass-rush combinations featuring Simmons, Raheem Biles, Brad Spence and Justice Terry. Can Texas turn its improved edge depth into one of the most disruptive defensive fronts in college football? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel explain why Will Muschamp's defense may be ahead of Texas' loaded offense entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns' defensive front has become a major problem in practice, with Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson, Zina Umeozulu and a deep interior rotation consistently creating disruption. Add Raheem Biles and emerging ball hawk Graceson Littleton, and Texas could field an elite havoc-producing defense capable of generating pressure, forcing turnovers and attacking opponents in waves. The crew also examines the questions that could prevent this unit from reaching championship level. Does Texas have enough pass-coverage depth at linebacker following Ty'Anthony Smith's departure, and who will solidify the second safety position alongside Jelani McDonald? Plus, the guys debate whether the Longhorns need a proven interior pass rusher and explain why keeping the defensive starters healthy could determine whether Muschamp produces a top-10-caliber unit.

Ohio State gains momentum over Texas as critical injury concerns emerge for the Longhorns. With left tackle Trevor Goosby's knee bruise casting doubt on Texas's offensive line, questions arise about their ability to protect against Ohio State's talented pass rush. Arch Manning faces a formidable Buckeye defense, while Colin Simmons looks to exploit any pass protection vulnerability. Will depth and physicality tip the balance for Ryan Day's squad, or can Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown ignite Texas's ground game? LSU prepares to host Clemson in a high-stakes showdown marked by coaching scrutiny and roster uncertainty. Can Dabo Swinney's loyalty to Christopher Vizzina at quarterback translate to early success in Death Valley, or will LSU's talented true freshmen at defensive tackle become a liability? Special teams, injury rumors surrounding key players, and the impact of the SEC and Big Ten's stance on NFL-to-college transfers all add intrigue to these prime matchups.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Bobby Burton and Rod Babers reveal whether anything from fall camp changed their expectations for Texas' 2026 season. Will Muschamp's aggressive defense may be better than anticipated, with Colin Simmons, Rasheem Biles and Graceson Littleton leading a deep unit capable of creating havoc, forcing turnovers and potentially developing into a top-15 defense. The panel also examines the concerns that could threaten Texas' championship ceiling, beginning with the health and continuity of the offensive line's left side. Can Trevor Goosby and Laurence Seymore stay healthy, and are Andre Cojoe and Dylan Sikorski ready if needed? The guys also debate the unsettled second safety position, the offense's sloppy moments and whether Texas' explosive transfer additions can overcome those weaknesses.

Coach Steve Sarkisian is back on 3rd & Longhorn and he doesn't hold back. Sark opens up about what he wants his legacy at Texas to look like, how the culture of this roster, with 49 new faces, has come together faster than any team he's had here, and what separates this year's group from previous ones. He talks about the additions of Coach Muschamp and Coach Gideon on the defensive side, what Coach Juluke has brought to the running back room, and why he tapped into Andy Reid, Bill Belichick, Kyle Shanahan, and Sean McVay to figure out how to manage a gauntlet schedule that looks more like an NFL season than a college one. He also gets real about what happened against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, and what this team has to do differently to finish the job. Oh, and we showed him his EA Sports College Football avatar and he was not impressed. This is the most in-depth Sark interview we've done.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and CJ Vogel assess where Texas stands after two fall-camp scrimmages. Will Muschamp's defense has established itself as a havoc-producing unit capable of generating pressure and forcing turnovers, led by Colin Simmons, Rasheem Biles and emerging playmaker Graceson Littleton. The Longhorns also possess enough defensive-line depth to attack opponents in waves throughout the season. The biggest remaining question is whether Arch Manning and the Texas offense can consistently carry strong practice performances into game-like situations. Explosive plays and encouraging signs from the running game are present, but slow starts and turnovers remain concerns with Texas State and Ohio State approaching. Which version of the offense will show up when the season begins? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South deliver the latest Texas practice intel as Jordan Coleman and Andre Cojoe split first-team opportunities at left tackle during Trevor Goosby's absence. The staff is keeping Melvin Siani and Brandon Baker together on the right side, while Dylan Sikorski, Cole Hutson and Jaden Chapman provide multiple options as Lawrence Seymour works his way back at left guard. The guys also break down Texas' improved linebacker depth, the growing competition between Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu opposite Colin Simmons and the versatility Will Muschamp could unleash with Brad Spence back on the field. With Scrimmage No. 2 approaching, several Longhorns are facing their best—and possibly final—opportunity to secure a spot in the two-deep before game preparation begins.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South react to Colin Simmons declaring that “intimidation” is the new standard for Texas' defense under Will Muschamp. Simmons explains how Muschamp has strengthened his understanding of situational football, helped him become a more complete player and created a mentality that is spreading throughout the unit. Could Simmons challenge the all-time college football sack record in his final season at Texas? The crew also discusses Cam Coleman's quiet confidence, his work to eliminate drops and the selfless approach he brings to an offense loaded with playmakers. Plus, Jermaine Bishop continues to make an immediate impression, Jonah Williams stacks productive practices and several Longhorns reveal the attention to detail and playoff-driven mindset shaping the team ahead of its pivotal second scrimmage.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers explain why Raheem Biles may be the most indispensable player in Will Muschamp's defense—even ahead of superstar edge rusher Colin Simmons. Sark has compared Biles' ability to disrupt practice with Simmons, and Muschamp appears prepared to build a major portion of his aggressive, multiple scheme around the versatile linebacker. The crew also provides the latest on Trevor Goosby's recovery timeline and how Texas is replacing him without dismantling the offensive line. Plus, the guys discuss a significantly sharper day for Arch Manning and the offense, why explosive plays are essential to Steve Sarkisian's success and how the Longhorns' improved depth could prevent one injury from derailing a championship-caliber season.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel react to Texas landing at No. 5 in the preseason AP Top 25 and explain why the ranking feels fair for a team with legitimate national championship talent. The Longhorns open behind Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia and Notre Dame, setting up a massive top-five showdown with the Buckeyes in Austin. But with seven ranked opponents—including five inside the top 11—Texas faces one of the most difficult schedules in college football. The guys compare Arch Manning's situation with fellow contenders CJ Carr and Dante Moore, debate where the true championship tier ends and identify what separates Texas from the teams ranked ahead of it. With proven stars such as Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, Colin Simmons and Raheem Biles, the talent is undeniable. Now the question is whether the Longhorns can handle the expectations, survive a brutal road schedule and execute well enough to reach the College Football Playoff. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton break down the explosive playmakers emerging from Texas' first fall-camp scrimmage. Cam Coleman continues to look like a future first-round receiver with his contested-catch ability, while Ryan Wingo, Jermaine Bishop and Emmett Mosley give the Longhorns remarkable depth. The running backs were equally impressive, as Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers and Derrek Cooper showed they can create explosive plays in both the running and passing games. The crew explains why this collection of weapons could allow Steve Sarkisian to build his most versatile and difficult-to-defend offense at Texas. On defense, Colin Simmons dominated limited action with two potential sacks and a forced fumble, while Jonah Williams delivered an interception and an impressive open-field tackle. Can Texas turn all this firepower into a championship offense—and which emerging stars will secure major roles before the second scrimmage? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation about Oregon's national championship expectations, life in the Big Ten, roster retention, recruiting and the culture he has built in Eugene. Lanning explains why he wants Oregon to be a player-led program, how the Ducks handle massive preseason expectations and why outside predictions about the College Football Playoff and national championship race don't matter inside the building. He also discusses Oregon's move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, the recruiting opportunities that come with playing coast-to-coast and why the Ducks have been so successful keeping key players out of the transfer portal. ESPN's Ian Fitzsimmons also joins Ryan Brown and Lance Taylor for a wide-ranging college football and NFL conversation, including:
Rod Babers, CJ Vogel and Bob Shipley react to Rasheem Biles revealing why he rejected Ohio State after entering the transfer portal. The Columbus-area native said the Buckeyes overlooked him coming out of high school, and now he will face his hometown program in one of Texas' biggest games of the season. The crew explains how Will Muschamp is moving Biles throughout the defense to turn him into another disruptive weapon alongside Colin Simmons. The guys also break down Lance Jackson's description of Texas' new attacking defense, which will feature more blitzes, stunts and aggressive pressure packages. Plus, they discuss the five Longhorns named first-team preseason All-Americans by ESPN, identify the Texas defensive backs capable of earning postseason honors and explain why Bo Mascoe could become the secondary's next breakout star.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers reveal the two biggest positives emerging from the opening week of Texas fall camp. Rasheem Biles has become a major problem for the offense as Will Muschamp moves him around the formation, giving opponents another dangerous playmaker to locate alongside Colin Simmons. The Longhorns' offensive firepower has also lived up to the hype, with Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons capable of transforming last season's inconsistent attack. The crew also examines the two questions Texas must answer before facing Ohio State: left guard and the second safety position. Can Laurence Seymore overtake Dylan Sikorski once the pads begin popping, and is Derek Williams healthy enough to secure the job alongside Jelani McDonald? Plus, they evaluate the alternatives at safety and explain why improved line play, fewer penalties and more explosive runs will be essential against the nation's toughest schedule.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel, Bob Shipley and Stevie Lee react to Steve Sarkisian's eye-opening comparison of Cam Coleman to NFL legend Julio Jones following the receiver's viral one-handed catch at Texas practice. The crew explains how Coleman's catch radius, body control and vertical speed could transform the Longhorns' offense while discussing Arch Manning's growing confidence, his trash-talking exchange with Colin Simmons and the intense physicality taking over fall camp. The conversation also examines Texas' championship expectations, with the panel projecting a 10-2 or 11-1 regular season and debating why missing the College Football Playoff would be a catastrophe for such a talented roster. Plus, they identify under-the-radar freshmen making noise, break down the difficult matchups against Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU and Tennessee, and explain what must happen for Steve Sarkisian to produce his best offense yet in Austin.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel deliver the latest intelligence from Texas' spirited Saturday night practice at DKR. Rasheem Biles repeatedly created havoc against Arch Manning and was described as one of the roster's best pure football players, while a fully healthy Justice Terry continued overwhelming blockers at nearly 290 pounds. The Longhorns also unveiled a dangerous NASCAR package featuring Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu together in obvious passing situations. Offensively, Wake Forest transfer Melvin Siani is emerging as an aggressive, physical right tackle who wants to bury defenders and could transform the Longhorns' running game. The guys also discuss strong performances from Texas' tight ends, Kohen Brown's deep-speed role, Emmett Mosley's playmaking and improved consistency from Ryan Wingo and Jermaine Bishop. Although the defense won the night, the offense produced several encouraging signs throughout the competitive practice. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The On Texas Football crew shares its biggest takeaways from the opening practices of fall camp, beginning with an offensive line that already looks significantly improved. Brandon Baker's transformation, Laurence Seymore's quick feet and the return of Cole Hutson give Texas several options to repair the interior, while a loaded receiver room provides Arch Manning with six legitimate Power Four-caliber targets. The staff additions have also allowed Steve Sarkisian to oversee the entire program while veteran assistants provide more specialized coaching. Defensively, Texas could possess its deepest interior rotation since 2022 and one of the nation's most talented edge rooms around Colin Simmons. However, safety remains the roster's biggest concern as Derek Williams, Kobe Black and Jonah Williams battle to start beside Jelani McDonald. From the portal additions to the young talent buried on the depth chart, the panel explains why this could be Texas' deepest team since 2008—and whether that depth can survive a brutal championship schedule. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Jeff Howe and Bobby Burton examine the overlooked training-camp battles that could determine whether Texas has enough quality depth to survive a potential 16- or 17-game championship season. Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley appear to lead a loaded receiver room, but Jermaine Bishop, Kaliq Lockett, Daylan McCutcheon and Sterling Berkhalter are fighting to become the trusted options Texas can call upon when injuries inevitably strike. The discussion then turns to a defensive front that could be Texas' deepest in decades. Justus Terry has an opportunity to become the disruptive interior presence Will Muschamp needs, while Richard Wesley, Smith Orogbo, Colton Vasek and Zina Umeozulu battle for snaps behind Colin Simmons and Lance Jackson. With talented players competing throughout the rotation, Texas may finally possess the depth required to chase a national championship without suffering a dramatic drop-off when its starters leave the field.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe explain why Texas cannot continue treating Arch Manning as its most dependable short-yardage runner. With a talented collection of running backs, tight ends and receivers, Steve Sarkisian must develop a more diverse offensive identity featuring power packages, two-back formations, empty sets and tendency-breaking plays. The Longhorns' championship hopes could depend on finally becoming efficient on third down and in the red zone without repeatedly putting their quarterback in harm's way. The discussion then shifts to Will Muschamp and how his new Texas defense could differ from the units he coordinated in Austin nearly two decades ago. Expect aggressive man coverage, more pressure packages and a relentless pursuit of takeaways—even if that approach occasionally surrenders a big play. Rod and Jeff explain how Muschamp's havoc-driven philosophy could create early opportunities for Sark's offense, help Texas play from ahead and unleash Colin Simmons once opponents are forced into predictable passing situations.

On Texas Football reveals its 10 highest-ranked players on the Longhorns' 2026 roster—and Arch Manning does not claim the top spot. Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel debate whether Manning's leadership and control of the offense should make him No. 1 or whether Colin Simmons' game-changing production, pass-rushing dominance and ability to wreck an opponent's game plan make him Texas' best overall player. The crew also breaks down the championship impact of Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby and Rasheem Biles while identifying the players who must take another step this season. Can Ryan Wingo finally turn his immense potential into consistent production? Will Lance Jackson become the disruptive force Texas needs opposite Simmons? From Bo Mascoe's versatility to Jelani McDonald's leadership and Hero Kanu's development, this episode examines the 10 players who could determine whether Texas wins a national championship. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has legitimate championship-level upside entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns return a quarterback capable of erasing mistakes in Arch Manning, surround him with explosive weapons at receiver and running back, and feature potential havoc creators such as Colin Simmons and Rasheem Biles on defense. However, Texas must eliminate the penalties, negative plays and offensive-line breakdowns that repeatedly forced the offense behind the chains last season. The conversation then turns to Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and the blueprint Texas can use to disrupt him. Sayin is one of the nation's most accurate passers when protected, but his production drops dramatically when defenses generate consistent pressure—creating a major opportunity for Will Muschamp's aggressive scheme. The guys also discuss why the Ohio State matchup could define Texas' season, Steve Sarkisian's impressive record against the Longhorns' biggest rivals and whether Arch can break Colt McCoy's single-season passing record.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel identify the Texas players poised to make the biggest jump during the 2026 season, led by defensive lineman Justus Terry, edge rusher Lance Jackson and linebacker Ty'Anthony Smith. They explain how Will Muschamp could use the Longhorns' defensive versatility to create pressure, build multiple pass-rush packages and unlock a more aggressive unit around stars such as Colin Simmons and Jelani McDonald. The conversation also examines whether Jonah Williams can become the missing playmaker at safety, where John Meredith could contribute immediately and how Arch Manning's statistics might look with improved pass protection. Plus, the guys discuss Texas' future with sponsored jersey patches, realistic expectations for basketball phenom Marcus Spears Jr. and the offensive coordinators Longhorn fans would rather forget.

Texas Longhorn offensive tackle Melvin Siani joins Fozzy Whittaker, Rod Babers and Nick Shuley on 3rd & Longhorn for one of the most fascinating origin stories you'll hear from a Longhorn this season. Melvin only played one year of high school football in Canada before working his way through Temple, Wake Forest, and ultimately landing at the University of Texas. He breaks down why Texas was the only choice in the portal, how his background in soccer and basketball translates directly to offensive line play, and what it's like going up against one of the best pass rushers in college football in Colin Simmons every single day in practice.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe react to the SEC preseason poll and debate where Texas truly belongs in the conference hierarchy. Is Georgia still in a tier by itself, or does Steve Sarkisian finally have the roster capable of overtaking Kirby Smart? The guys break down the strengths and potential “tragic flaws” of the SEC's top contenders, including Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss and an improving Florida program that could ruin another contender's season. The conversation also examines the growth of Arch Manning and Colin Simmons as leaders, Texas' plan to correct its costly penalty problem and the offensive-line adjustments that could determine whether the running game improves. Plus, Rod and Jeff discuss John Meredith's reclassification, how the five-star cornerback could contribute on special teams, the importance of Texas' new assistant coaches and whether any future national championship could ever surpass the unforgettable 2005 title team.

Plus, the guys discuss Florida's John Sumrall, Cole Hutson's eligibility update, what Texas fans should want to hear from Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning, Colin Simmons, and Trevor Goosby at SEC Media Days, and why Elko's “empty trophy case” comment is already becoming rivalry fuel.

Jeff Howe, Rod Babers, and Jordan Scruggs break down the latest Texas team notes surrounding two recent five-star signees: Jermaine Bishop Jr. and Michael Terry III. The crew discusses Bishop getting work on both sides of the ball at wide receiver and defensive back, how realistic it is for him to become a true two-way player, and why his elite playmaking ability may ultimately make offense his clearest path to early impact. The conversation also dives into Michael Terry's evolving role after bulking up to the 230-pound range and working as a running back. Rod and Jordan explore how Texas could use Terry as a versatile offensive weapon, from short-yardage and goal-line packages to a potential third-down role because of his receiving background, size, and pass-protection upside.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Hank South, and CJ Vogel break down the breaking news that former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an additional year of eligibility.

The conversation also dives into where Hutson could fit if he is cleared, including possible competition at left guard and center, and why his return would be “found money” for Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood. Plus, the guys discuss how this could impact the offensive line rotation, what it means for younger players like Jackson Christian, and why adding another experienced blocker before fall camp would be a major win for Texas.

The conversation also covers where Texas ranks among the youngest teams in college football, what that says about Sark's roster-building approach, and how the Longhorns compare to programs like Georgia and Ohio State in the portal era. Plus, the guys discuss Gary Patterson's move to USC, Tom Herman joining Florida State's staff, the future Texas quarterback battle between KJ Lacey and Dia Bell, and why the 2026 Texas offense needs to be Sark's best yet.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe break down the biggest key to Steve Sarkisian getting the Texas offense back to championship level in 2026: explosive plays. The guys dive into the dramatic drop-off from Texas leading the country in 20-plus-yard plays in 2024 to ranking near the middle of the pack last season, including the stunning lack of big runs from the running back position. The conversation also examines why the run game must become more consistent, how Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers can help restore explosiveness, and why Sark may need to bring back more variety through personnel packages like pony, empty, and six offensive linemen. Rod and Jeff explain how trust, offensive line improvement, and better scheme balance could unlock the full version of Sark's offense this season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
