Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers examine the remarkable rise of Texas' roster under Steve Sarkisian.

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, Bobby Burton, Brian Erwin and Bob Shipley reveal what they need to see from Texas in the 2026 season opener. Arch Manning must establish himself as the leader of a loaded offense, while the rebuilt offensive line and running backs need to dominate short-yardage situations.

Williams-Callis became the first player since 2021 to rush for more than 200 yards against South Oak Cliff and has now surpassed 100 yards in 41 of his 45 high school games. With more than 7,700 career rushing yards, Williams-Callis has positioned himself to challenge the Texas high school state record during a potentially historic senior season.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton deliver the latest Texas practice intel after the Longhorns completed a full mock game at DKR. Starting left guard Laurence Seymore is expected to be available against Texas State, although he could share snaps with Dylan Sikorski. With Andre Cojoe preparing to replace Trevor Goosby at left tackle, Texas must establish communication, avoid costly penalties and prove its rebuilt offensive line can dominate the running game before Ohio State arrives.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton play “More or Less” with season-long projections for three of Texas' biggest offensive stars. The guys predict whether Arch Manning will surpass 25.5 touchdown passes, Cam Coleman will reach 825 receiving yards and Ryan Wingo will clear 775 yards during the 2026 regular season.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Rod Babers separate fact from fiction when evaluating Arch Manning's game. While Arch has struggled with some of the quick throws, RPOs and crossing routes that traditionally drive Steve Sarkisian's offense, he excels when the play breaks down. His deep-ball accuracy, scrambling ability, sack avoidance and active streak of 123 passes without an interception reveal a quarterback who thrives under pressure and consistently protects the football. The crew explains why Arch may be more of an “agent of chaos” than the polished system quarterback many expected—and why that could ultimately help Texas win critical games when Sark is forced off script. They also examine the short-area accuracy Arch must improve, how Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo could maximize his vertical passing ability and whether fans have been judging the Longhorns quarterback through the wrong lens.

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.

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.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Bobby Burton and Rod Babers reveal whether anything from fall camp changed their expectations for Texas' 2026 season.

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.

Freshman linebacker Kosi Okpala may have delivered the best performance on the field, displaying impressive play recognition and versatility while producing a spectacular tipped interception that could have become a pick-six.   The crew also explains how Andre Cojoe has emerged as Texas' third offensive tackle and why Graceson Littleton's back-to-back interception performances could place him among Will Muschamp's top defensive playmakers.

Manning struggled early and the offense remained inconsistent, but he responded with explosive completions to Cam Coleman and Emmett Mosley before reportedly delivering an excellent performance during the red-zone portion of practice. The crew debates whether Manning is simply shaking off rust after missing significant time during the spring or whether expectations for the fourth-year quarterback need to be adjusted. With Texas State, Ohio State and Tennessee looming, can Arch develop the down-to-down consistency Texas needs—or will the Longhorns have to rely on his playmaking ability and their loaded collection of offensive weapons?

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Hank South react to the breaking news that Ty'Anthony Smith is no longer with the Texas football program. Smith was the Longhorns' second-leading returning tackler and an important rotational piece, leaving Texas with significantly less experience behind projected starters Justin Cryer, Rasheem Biles and Brad Spence. The crew examines whether linebacker has suddenly become the biggest concern on Will Muschamp's defense and which players must step forward before the season begins. Can freshmen Tyler Atkinson, Rocky Cummings and Kosi Okpala handle expanded roles, or will Steve Sarkisian explore the transfer portal for emergency depth? With the second scrimmage approaching, Texas must quickly find answers in a room that now has virtually no margin for error. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel spotlight three Longhorns who need a strong performance in Texas' second scrimmage, beginning with freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson. After flashing in the first scrimmage, can the five-star defender prove it was no fluke and earn the coaching staff's trust? The guys also examine Dylan Sikorski's opportunity at left guard and why his pass protection could determine his place in the offensive-line rotation. The discussion then turns to athletic tight end Nick Townsend, who must make his case for a larger role behind Michael Masunas and force Steve Sarkisian to use more 12 personnel. With the second scrimmage serving as Texas' dress rehearsal, this could be the final major opportunity for Atkinson, Sikorski and Townsend to change the depth chart before the Longhorns begin preparing for the season opener.

Despite ranking among the SEC's best quarterbacks on intermediate and deep throws, Arch finished last among qualified conference passers in yards per attempt from zero to nine yards. The guys explain how inconsistent timing, ball placement, receiver drops and interior pressure contributed to the problem—and why improvement is critical to unlocking Texas' RPO and quick-game packages.   The conversation also turns to a quarterback Steve Sarkisian may need this season: KJ Lacey.

Jeff Howe and Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers examine whether safety could become the fatal flaw that prevents Texas from reaching its championship ceiling. Jelani McDonald is the Longhorns' only proven “five-tool” safety, while Derek Williams, Kobe Black and Jonah Williams each enter camp with major strengths—and important questions involving coverage, run support, durability and physicality.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Lifetime Longhorn Marcus Myers deliver their biggest takeaways from Texas' first fall camp practice. Transfer guard Laurence Seymore impressed with his effort, explosiveness and movement despite beginning with the third-team offensive line, while Jonah Williams looked unrestricted and several Longhorns displayed noticeable body transformations. The guys also examine the heated competitions at left guard, cornerback and safety.   Steve Sarkisian praised Arch Manning's opening performance and identified Hollywood Smothers, Michael Terry, Rasheem Biles and Jermaine Bishop among the players who stood out. The crew also discusses Nick Townsend's development into a more complete tight end, Mark Stoops joining the Texas staff and the NCAA agreement clearing Cole Hutson to return—adding another experienced option to the Longhorns' offensive line.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Will Muschamp's Texas defense possesses enough talent to help win a national championship—but also carries significant risk as it transitions into a more aggressive system. The guys break down the potential for explosive plays, the importance of creating havoc and the unanswered questions at linebacker and in the secondary. They also discuss Brad Spence's ideal role, the enormous expectations facing the special-teams units and why the left guard battle remains Texas' biggest concern entering fall camp. The conversation expands to the preseason Coaches Poll, where Texas landed at No. 4, and why Longhorn fans should embrace championship expectations rather than fear them. Plus, Jeff and CJ reveal their College Football Playoff, SEC and Heisman dark horses—including Florida, Missouri, Louisville, Houston, Washington, Penn State, Demond Williams Jr. and Drew Mestemaker—and examine the schedules that could produce college football's biggest surprise teams.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South examine three critical questions Texas cannot truly answer during fall camp. Will a more experienced offensive line finally protect Arch Manning and create movement in the running game? Can Laurence Seymore master the Longhorns' wide-zone scheme and win the left guard job? And if Arch is forced to miss time, is KJ Lacey ready to lead Texas through a meaningful game?   The crew also evaluates whether Will Muschamp's aggressive defense can fix the coverage breakdowns that plagued Texas late last season. With Colin Simmons creating pressure and Bo Mascoe, Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips playing tighter coverage, the secondary possesses major upside—but the unresolved safety battle remains a concern. Texas State will provide the first test, but the answers may not become clear until Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State arrive in Austin. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Hank South break down Texas' pursuit of elite edge rusher DJ Jacobs, who remains committed to Ohio State but is expected to visit Austin this fall. With Colin Simmons potentially entering the NFL Draft after the season, the Longhorns are pushing for a massive addition at a premium position—and the Texas–Ohio State night game could provide the perfect setting to change the momentum of his recruitment. The crew also delivers the latest on five-star receiver Easton Royal, who remains committed to Texas but plans to take his recruitment into December while LSU and Florida continue their pursuit. Plus, the guys identify linebacker, safety and offensive tackle as positions Texas could address through senior evaluations, and Gerry previews several major basketball visits—including top national prospect Beckham Black.

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.
