Podcast appearances and mentions of Will Muschamp

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. Defensively, the coaches explain how Will Muschamp's aggressive style and Texas' four-man pass rush could overwhelm the Bobcats without revealing too much before Ohio State. The crew also identifies the opening-game mistakes that could create problems, including turnovers, substitution errors, false starts, busted coverages and poor tackling in space. Coach Erwin predicts a 45–10 Texas victory and calls Cam Coleman to score the Longhorns' first touchdown of the season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

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.

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 reveal the three biggest standouts from Texas' second fall-camp scrimmage. 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. Plus, Jermaine Bishop and Richard Wesley earn recognition as two more freshmen forcing their way into the Longhorns' plans. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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, 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.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel react to Steve Sarkisian's latest press conference and his eye-opening praise for transfer tackle Melvin Siani, whom Sark called a far more physical run blocker than expected. The guys explain why Siani, Trevor Goosby and Brandon Baker could give Texas an elite foundation up front, while providing the latest on Lawrence Seymour's injury “hiccup” and the returns of Ty'Anthony Smith, Justice Terry, Brad Spence and John Meredith. The conversation also examines Sark's expanding circle of trust around Arch Manning, including Cam Coleman, Hollywood Smothers, Raleek Brown, Derrek Cooper and Texas' deep receiver room. Plus, the crew breaks down Jonah Williams and Kobe Black strengthening the safety rotation, Will Muschamp's commanding presence during the first scrimmage and what Texas must accomplish before its dress rehearsal and the massive No. 1 Ohio State showdown.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South identify three Longhorns whose stock is rising after Texas' first fall-camp scrimmage. Defensive lineman Maraad Watson emerged as one of the team's best interior run defenders, while five-star freshman linebacker Tyler Atkinson took advantage of missing veterans to earn valuable snaps with the first-team defense. The biggest winner may have been Jonah Williams, who intercepted a pass in the red zone and delivered multiple impressive open-field tackles. The crew explains why Williams' healthy offseason could finally unlock his five-star potential, how Atkinson can climb a crowded linebacker depth chart and why Watson's versatility could make him an essential piece of Will Muschamp's defense.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel deliver their instant reactions to Texas' first fall-camp scrimmage, where Will Muschamp's defense narrowly won the day despite missing Rasheem Biles and several other contributors. Arch Manning threw two interceptions—including a 75-yard pick-six by Graceson Littleton—but also connected with Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo for explosive touchdowns as the offense worked through its first live action since January. Freshmen Derrek Cooper and Jermaine Bishop generated major buzz after receiving extended opportunities, while Lawrence Seymour opened the scrimmage as the first-team left guard. The crew also breaks down big plays from Jonah Williams, Kobe Black and Kade Phillips, the encouraging depth displayed across the defense and Gianni Spetic responding to an early miss by making five consecutive field goals.

Bobby Burton, CJ Vogel and Hank South deliver the biggest developments from Texas' seventh fall-camp practice, led by a significant change along the offensive line. Laurence Seymore opened the team period with the first-team offense at left guard after Dylan Sikorski previously led the competition, while veteran Cole Hutson returned to full-pads work and could soon add another contender to the Longhorns' most important position battle. The crew also breaks down Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers and freshman Derrek Cooper's contrasting running styles, including Cooper's advanced pass protection. Plus, Warren Roberson receives a surprising look at safety, Melvin Siani continues setting a more physical tone up front and a 20-pound-heavier Lance Jackson reveals how Texas plans to move him throughout Will Muschamp's defense.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has officially entered championship-or-bust territory in 2026. With potentially one season remaining before Arch Manning enters the NFL Draft, the Longhorns possess the quarterback, roster depth and continuity needed to win it all—but anything short of a national title could leave fans wondering when another opportunity this strong will arrive.   The guys also reveal the latest fall-camp intel on Derek Williams, Kade Phillips and the left guard battle between Dylan Sikorski and Laurence Seymore. Plus, they explore Graceson Littleton's potential move to safety, break down Will Muschamp's options for defending Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith and debate which Longhorn legends were unfairly excluded from OTF's top 25 players of the modern era.

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.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel reveal the four true freshmen already positioned to earn meaningful snaps for Texas in 2026. The newest addition is linebacker Kosi Okpala, who has worked exclusively with the second team while showing the intelligence and versatility to play inside or fill Will Muschamp's crucial overhang role. At 6-foot-3 and nearly 240 pounds, Okpala has quickly earned the defensive staff's trust.   Edge rusher Richard Wesley could crack Texas' loaded rotation, while Steve Sarkisian must find creative ways to put the ball in Jermaine Bishop's hands. Physical running back Derrek Cooper also brings the violent style and contagious energy Texas lacked during difficult road games last season.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton identify four Longhorns who appear ready to make major jumps after the opening practices of fall camp. Nick Townsend has added approximately 15 pounds without sacrificing his athleticism, creating potential matchup problems at tight end. Brandon Baker's move from tackle to guard could also unlock his full potential and transform him into an All-SEC performer and early-round NFL Draft prospect.   Defensively, Brad Spence appears perfectly suited for Will Muschamp's aggressive system after earning a place on every assistant coach's list of Texas' best 11 defenders. Zina Umeozulu has also added significant size while retaining the explosiveness that could make him one of the Longhorns' most dangerous pass rushers. Plus, Bobby and Gerry discuss additional breakout candidates and why Kade Phillips may be the most important player Texas needs to emerge. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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. The guys explain why Will Muschamp's aggressive defense leaves safeties with nowhere to hide and how one coverage breakdown could expose the entire unit. They also explore potential contingency plans involving Graceson Littleton and Xavier Filsaime, discuss the developmental impact of Muschamp, Blake Gideon and Mark Stoops, and predict who will start beside McDonald when Texas opens the season.

Who has the advantage between Kade Phillips and Warren Roberson at corner? The guys also examine the competition at left guard, tight end and backup wide receiver.   The discussion turns to the returning players who must prove they are fully healthy, the new defensive leaders who need to emerge and the importance of beginning camp with energy and urgency.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton deliver their instant reactions from the first practice of Texas fall camp, where Arch Manning was selected to lead the team into the opening workout and looked sharp connecting with Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman. The biggest positive came from an offensive line that already looks noticeably different, led by Brandon Baker's body transformation and an encouraging first look at transfer Laurence Seymore.   The guys also break down Will Muschamp's reshaped secondary, with Kobe Black working exclusively at safety, Xavier Filsaime lining up at nickel and Derek Williams returning without any visible limitations. Plus, they examine Texas' SEC-caliber defensive front, impressive young running backs and receivers, Jonah Williams' healthy return and the early depth-chart clues that emerged during a spirited—but brutally hot—opening practice.

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.

Rod Babers, CJ Vogel and Bob Shipley react to Paul Finebaum picking Texas over Georgia to win the 2026 SEC Championship. The crew explains why Will Muschamp's intimate knowledge of Kirby Smart's defense could provide Steve Sarkisian with a crucial advantage—and why Texas must improve its running game, red-zone execution and offensive-line play before it can break the championship monopoly held by Georgia, Alabama and LSU.   The discussion also examines whether Texas could make one of the nation's biggest offensive-line improvements behind Trevor Goosby and Melvin Siani, who both rank among the SEC's highest-graded tackles.

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.

Arch Manning returns to full-speed action after missing the spring, while Cam Coleman gets his first opportunity to show how Steve Sarkisian can unlock the complete route-running and yards-after-catch ability that Auburn never fully utilized. The panel also discusses whether Emmett Mosley and freshman Jermaine Bishop can emerge in Texas' loaded receiver room.   Defensively, Justus Terry and Maraad Watson could provide the interior disruption Will Muschamp's scheme desperately needs, while five-star safety Jonah Williams enters a critical camp after battling injuries throughout his young career. Plus, the guys examine Texas' biggest position battle at left guard and explain why Laurence Seymore must prove he can protect Arch, execute the wide-zone scheme and fix the weakness that repeatedly damaged the Longhorns' offense last season.

Rod Babers and CJ Vogel deliver a blunt assessment of Steve Sarkisian entering his sixth season at Texas. Despite three consecutive double-digit-win seasons, the Longhorns have consistently fallen short of elite status on third down, in the red zone and with their in-game offensive adjustments. With Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons, is this the season Sark finally produces the dominant offense Texas needs to win a national championship?   The guys also discuss Sarkisian's opportunity to defeat Oklahoma and Texas A&M for a third consecutive season, why the Sooners may present the tougher rivalry matchup and which road games could derail Texas' title pursuit. Plus, they break down Graceson Littleton's position in Will Muschamp's secondary, Laerence Seymore's upside at left guard, Landon Williams-Callis' five-star talent and how an aggressive defense could help Texas take control of games early.

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.

Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers count down the five Longhorns facing the most pressure entering the 2026 season. The list includes secondary leader Jelani McDonald, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and new kicker Gianni Spetic, who could be asked to decide multiple one-score games against one of the nation's most difficult schedules. The crew explains why improved leadership, offensive-line cohesion and clutch special-teams play could determine how far Texas goes.   Arch Manning enters the season at No. 2 with Heisman expectations, NFL attention and the responsibility of elevating Texas in its biggest moments. However, the most pressure belongs to Steve Sarkisian, who must turn a loaded roster, an upgraded offense and Will Muschamp's defense into another College Football Playoff run. Is this finally the season Sark produces an elite offense, defeats the nation's best teams and gets Texas over the championship hump? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

They also examine Texas' experienced special-teams units, Justus Terry's physical transformation and the defensive possibilities created by Will Muschamp's new scheme.   The discussion turns to the biggest factors that could determine whether Texas finally wins the national championship: staying healthy, controlling the line of scrimmage, protecting Arch, creating explosive plays and performing in clutch situations. The panel also addresses Texas' costly penalty problem, the possibility of Xavier Filsaime moving to nickel, Laurence Seymore's fit on the offensive line and whether the Longhorns could produce two 1,000-yard rushers.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Hank South break down Will Muschamp's complete checklist for recruiting and evaluating defensive backs. From height, arm length and speed to explosiveness, physicality, man-coverage ability and football intelligence, the crew explains exactly what Muschamp wants from every cornerback, safety and nickel in the Texas secondary—and why elite traits can compensate when a prospect does not meet every preferred measurement. The discussion also examines how John Meredith and Texas' 2027 defensive back commitments fit Muschamp's blueprint. Brandon Sherrard emerges as a potential prototype because of his physical coverage style, versatility and impressive offer list, while Montre Jackson and Junior Tu'u​po bring additional speed and coverage ability. The crew also explains why Muschamp's willingness to personally evaluate prospects could give Texas a major advantage on the recruiting trail. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Texas Longhorns return a ton of defensive production from last year, but have to apply that talent to a new system. New defensive coordinator Will Muschamp brings a new front and a new mentality to the Forty Acres. What can we expect from the returning talent in a system that may be built for them to shine?

Steve Sarkisian dropped a bombshell from SEC Media Days: five-star cornerback John Meredith is reclassifying to the 2026 class and will join the Texas Longhorns in time for August practice. Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel break down why getting one of the nation's top defensive prospects on campus a year early is a massive win for Texas—both for Meredith's development and for a recruiting class that no longer has to protect his commitment through December. The crew also evaluates what Meredith brings to the secondary, including his rare combination of length, speed, confidence, physicality and natural coverage ability. While he may not be expected to make an immediate impact as a true freshman, an extra year inside Will Muschamp's system could position Meredith to become a major contributor—and potential NFL Draft pick—much sooner than originally expected. Plus, the guys discuss Sarkisian's flair for delivering major recruiting news at SEC Media Days and how Meredith's move could reshape Texas' 2026 and 2027 class rankings.
