The Texas Longhorns lost the top four running backs from last year's team, but have seemingly gone all-in on a pair of runners that they think can take them to the next level.

The duo of Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown were two of the top RBs in the transfer portal, and seemingly come to Texas with hopes to increase their championship potential and NFL Draft stock.

Can their explosive playmaking ability help get Texas over the hump?

As we continue our march toward the season, we continue our reverse-order previews and land on the Missouri Tigers.

What can we expect from the Tigers in 2026, with a refreshed core of players and a coaching staff looking to rework itself?

Heading into what most assume is his final year in Austin, what is fair to expect from the former No. 1 quarterback?
