Josh and Noah come crashing back to Earth in the wake of the loss to TCU and discuss what went wrong, what continues to go wrong, and how their outlook on the season has changed since the preseason as a result of the past four weeks.

Tux returns for a throwback hosting as he and Josh discuss the struggles for the defense and the need to #YeetOrlandotoOrlando. They also make a desperate effort to discuss the positives coming out of the near-miss against the Jayhawks before moving ahead to try to convince themselves that the upcoming TCU game won't be every bit as frustrating as the last three weeks for Texas.

Pretend We're Football is back, baby! And the guys get you ready for the 2020 season by breaking down how important this season is for Shaka Smart, the coaching staff he has put together, the expectations Longhorn fans should have for him, the roles every player will have this year, and why putting amphetamines in the water of the Frank Erwin Center is a good idea.

4th and 5 breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Kansas game with a major focus on how Texas can salvage a defense that is headed on a course to be the worst in program history. What changes need to be made immediately and how should they be implemented.

Then they take a look forward to see what Texas has in store for them in Fort Worth vs TCU by previewing the game with Parker Fleming (@statsowar) from SBNation's Frogs O' War.

Josh and Noah allow the depression and disappointment consume them as they discuss what went wrong in a Red River Shootout that wasn't nearly as close as the scoreboard indicated and what needs to be adjusted for Texas to get a chance to tag the Sooners back in December. Afterwards, they break down the players of note for the Kansas Jayhawks and which units, if any, they expect to have a bounce back game after the rough showings in Dallas.

4th and 5 breaks down what exactly went wrong in the Cotton Bowl last Saturday. What is it that caused the 9 sacks, the historically bad tackling, and the poor performances by the Longhorns over the past three games?

How does the OU game affect the Longhorns' ultimate goal of heading to the Big 12 championship, and what do you need to look for against Kansas to see that Texas is headed in the right direction.

4th and 5 gives a quick review of the win against the Mountaineers and how certain parts of that game will apply to the Longhorns' big matchup in the Cotton Bowl vs their hated rival, the Oklahoma Sooners. What does Texas need to do tomorrow to bring home the Golden Hat.They also invite on JYBrainiac of The Oklahoma Football Brainiacs to give Texas fans a look behind enemy lines.

Josh and Noah look back on a sloppy win over West Virginia coming out of the bye week and try to decide which areas are legitimate concerns, and which were the product of looking ahead to the Red River Shootout. Then they talk about OU's fake defensive "improvements" and the incoming thrashing the offense will levy on the Grinch, Lincoln Riley's QB friendly system and how the defense can exploit their few flaws, and definitely don't see any reason why this weekend's game won't be another classic in the storied rivalry.

Josh and Noah take a look at West Virginia to try and figure out what they're good at (not a lot), what they're bad at (basically everything), and familiarize themselves with a roster loaded with strong candidates for the 2019 All-Name Team.

4th and 5 is joined by Keenan Cummings, the managing editor of WVSports.com, to break down what the Longhorns will be facing in Morgantown and what the keys to the game will be.

But before that, they take a look at the long list of injuries for the Longhorns to discuss where the biggest pain points are now for the team. They also give their impressions of the Big 12 after the first two weeks of conference play and how they think things will shake out.
