The Longhorn Republic

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have two games left between them and reaching the first of their major goals, playing in the SEC Championship game. Their path to the title game is simple for Texas; win the next two games and they're in.

The first of those hurdles is senior day against the Kentucky Wildcats, who just snapped a long losing streak over Murray State. Their winning formula is simple, slow the game down and keep the opposing offense off of the field. Can the Texas offense rebound from their struggles against Arkansas and keep the train on the tracks?

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns had to sweat it out thanks to some third quarter offensive struggles but managed to turn it on when it counted and come out of Fayetteville with a win over a historic rival.

What does the Longhorns' performance tell us about the final two games and what will they need to do to stay atop the SEC with just two games left on the schedule?

We also dive in on basketball's successful week and celebrate Texas sending runners to the National Championship.

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns are set to reignite and old Southwest Conference Rivalry, heading to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Arkansas has been an inconsistent threat this year, but has explosive players on offense that can quickly make defenses pay. Will Texas be able to contain their dual-threat quarterback and put a lid on the running game? Will the Longhorns be able to generate enough offense to keep ahead of their old foe?

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns came out of the bye week with something to prove and did just that, dismantling Florida from the early parts of the game.

Texas did give up some yardage late, after pulling the starters, for their statistically worst game of the year. However, there's nuance required when discussing the performance of the defense against the Gators, especially in the second half.

After a week off, the No. 5 Texas Longhorns are back in action at home, hosting the Florida Gators to start the last third of the regular season.

Florida has been resurgent in their last few games, but may be without the services of quarterback DJ Lagway, who went down with an injury last Saturday. The Gators' ability to move the ball will look quite different depending on whether Lagway or his backup -- Yale transfer Aidan Warner -- take the field Saturday.

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns are ready to storm the SEC with Vic Schaefer's deepest squad during his time in Austin. Led by a talented core of experienced players, the Longhorns added key talent from the portal and the No. 5 recruiting class in the nation.

In the most physical and competitive women's basketball in the country, the Longhorns are picked to finish second behind the defending national champions. What are fair expectations for them in their first run in the SEC?

We took advantage of the football team's bye week to take a deep dive into the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team, entering their second full year under Rodney Terry.

There will be a lot of new faces playing at the Moody Center in 2024-25, with Terry dipping into the portal several times to supplement the core of returning players and high school talent. What do we expect from this team in its first year of SEC play?

The No. 6 Texas Longhorns went to Nashville and narrowly avoided a disaster at the hands of the Vanderbilt Commodores. After starting the month with an upset of Alabama, Vandy has run the upset formula perfectly -- one that Texas couldn't avoid on Saturday.

What does this performance tell us about the Longhorns' long-term prospects and what do they need to focus on during the bye?

Coming off a tough home loss to the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs, the No. 5 Texas Longhorns head out for their first SEC road game against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

The Longhorns are next up in the line of defenses trying to contain Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who piloted them to an upset of the Alabama Crimson Tide. He is the spark for the offense thanks to both his legs and his arm, using the legs to create throwing opportunities.

Can the Texas defense keep him contained and can the offense avoid another slow start?

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns looked outmatched by the Georgia Bulldogs, letting them build a big lead and then slow the game down.

Texas, for its part, struggled to hold onto the ball and extend drives, giving the UGA offense prime field position to punch the ball in for short scores.
