3rd & Longhorn

Number one Texas escapes Knoxville with a 20-17 win over Tennessee and the whole crew is in the room to break it all down. Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Fozzy Whittaker, Alex Okafor, Mark Higgins, and Nick Shuley go through every angle of a game that saw Colin Simmons break the Texas record with 5.5 sacks as part of a historic ten sack defensive performance. The crew breaks down the beautiful rush plan that used Simmons as a standing Joker to create chaos for a freshman quarterback, Lance Jackson's coming out party, and why this defense might be a top ten unit in the country. On the other side, six sacks allowed, turnovers, penalties, and a passing game that still has not found its rhythm. Rod demands more from the offense and compares it to a star studded movie with a bad plot.

4-0 heading into the bye week. There is a lot to unpack.

Number one Texas escapes Knoxville with a 20-17 win over Tennessee and it was anything but pretty. The defense was absolutely historic, with Colin Simmons tying the Texas record with five sacks in a single game as part of a stunning ten sack performance from the unit as a whole. The offense was a different story. Arch Manning started hot and then went cold, the special teams had a rough day full of costly errors, and Tennessee had a chance to pull off the upset late. Jeremy Hills, Nick Shuley and Mark Higgins break down how Texas survived, what Colin Simmons showed the entire country on Saturday, why the offense has to figure it out before the schedule gets even harder, and what the special teams mistakes mean going forward.

A SEC road win is a win, but there is a lot to talk about.

Number one Texas heads to Knoxville for their first road game and their first SEC matchup of the season against a Tennessee team that is averaging over 300 yards rushing per game and starting a true freshman quarterback. Nick Shuley is joined by Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Alex Okafor, and Mark Higgins to break down every angle of this massive early season SEC showdown. The crew gets into whether the Texas passing game can get back on track after the UTSA hangover, what Colin Simmons's status means for stopping a Tennessee ground attack that has been rolling through their schedule, how a freshman quarterback handles his biggest moment yet, and whether Texas's battle tested experience from beating the number one team in the country two weeks ago travels on the road. They also dig into the penalty problem that has to get cleaned up, the special teams matchup including two kickers who have both been outstanding, and all five guys give their score predictions and they are all coming in under the total. College Game Day is in Knoxville and this one has the feel of a classic.

Number one Texas beat UTSA 30 to 6 and somehow everyone seems disappointed. Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Alex Okafor, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley sit down to break down what actually happened Saturday night and separate the real concerns from the overreaction. The crew gets into why the defense deserves way more credit than it is getting, why the offense felt disjointed and whether that is actually a Sark and Arch compatibility problem or just a big win hangover, and what Arch Manning's first 19 games actually look like compared to every other great quarterback in Texas history. They also talk about what Giani Spetic's 52 yard field goal means for this team going forward, Ryan Niblett finally showing some wiggle, and why UTSA has some guys that are going to be playing somewhere else next year.

Texas Longhorns tight end Spencer Shannon joins 3rd & Longhorn for a conversation that covers everything from his unexpected path to the position to what it means to carry on one of the most impressive tight end traditions in college football. Spencer talks about growing up in California with family ties to Houston, what it was like coming in behind Ja'Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm, and Jack Endries and what he learned from each of them, and how he has found his voice as the leader of the tight end room. He also breaks down why Sark considers the tight end the second most important position in the offense, who gives him the most trouble in practice, and which new faces on campus have caught his eye. Oh, and the guy throws 92 miles per hour. We buried that lead a little bit.

Texas is number one in the country after one of the most improbable wins in college football history against Ohio State and now they have to turn around and play UTSA from right down the road on I-35. Nick Shuley, Rod Babers, and Jeremy Hills break down the very real danger of the big win hangover, why Coach Flood's advice to Connor Robertson might be the most important thing said all week, and what Texas actually has to do to stay focused and sharp heading into a game that could not be more different than what they just experienced. They also break down the UTSA offense and defense, why Jeff Trailer is a legitimately elite football coach that deserves more respect, and why a team sitting at 11 penalties a game might still give Texas some problems if they are not careful. Plus the alumni segment, special teams preview, and score predictions from the full crew.

Rod Babers and Jeremy Hills sit down with Nick Shuley for their final thoughts and full breakdown on how Texas pulled off one of the most improbable wins in college football history against number one Ohio State. Down 20 points in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns did something that statistically should not happen at any level of football. The crew breaks down how Sark committed to the run against a three high defense, how Muschamp made the adjustments that changed the game, how Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers physically took over in the fourth quarter, and why the belief this team has was built long before Saturday. They also get into the indoor warmup story that nobody else is talking about and why an entire program won that game.

Drop your score predictions below. The biggest game of the season is here. Number 4 Texas hosts number 1 Ohio State the national game of the week on ABC with College Game Day on campus. Jeremy Hills, Fozzy Whittaker, Rod Babers, Derrick Johnson, Alex Okafor, Mark Higgins, and Nick Shuley break down every angle of this massive matchup.

The crew digs into the Texas offense against a retooled Ohio State defense, the chess match between Sark and Matt Patricia now that both coordinators have a full season of film on each other, and whether this Texas offense can finally get the job done in the red zone against Ohio State after going one for four in their last two matchups. On the other side, they break down how to slow down the most accurate quarterback in college football in Julian Sayin, what Muschamp has to do to contain their weapons, and why stopping the run is the key to everything.

They also talk about why Raheem Biles is a name every Ohio State fan should know, why Cam Coleman versus Jeremiah Smith is one of the key storylines of the game, and why the interior defensive line matchup could decide this whole thing. Plus the fun stuff - Higs alumni segment, special teams preview, and score predictions from the whole crew.
