The Longhorn Republic

The Texas Longhorns have a lot of lessons they can take from the narrow loss against the Alabama Crimson Tide as they head into the next 10 games.

Texas forced the reigning Heisman winner to create Heisman moments on two drives to overcome a fourth-quarter deficit, after forcing six-consecutive punts in the second and third quarters. The Texas offense had a lot going early, but injuries to the first two quarterbacks on the depth chart left Texas scrambling to make plays late.

With opportunities to make plays all over the field, what were we the proudest of for the Longhorns, and what are the biggest opportunities moving forward?

We also dive in on the volleyball team's continued dominance, the soccer team's unbeaten streak, and how the women's golf team is faring during their season-opener.

Wescott Eberts and Cameron Parker share their thoughts on the Texas Longhorns' devastating loss to Alabama but it's not all doom and gloom. Where do the Horns go from here (3:30), updates on the injuries from Sark's Monday press conference (8:30), Bryce Young and Will Anderson's impact (13:00), the gusty effort from Hudson Card (16:30), and looking ahead to UTSA (26:00)

The Texas Longhorns came into the game as double-digit underdogs at home, but the No. 1 team in the country had to depend on its kicker and the Alabama Crimson Tide won it 20-19.

Texas played the majority of the game without quarterback Quinn Ewers, who left the game in the first quarter due to an injury. The Longhorns took a 19-16 lead late, but Heisman winner Bryce Young led Alabama on a game-winning drive to close it out.

The defense forced six consecutive punts and frustrated the offense for the majority of the game, save for two long drives in the second half. There’s plenty of success to build on moving forward, but there are no moral victories in football.

The banged-up Longhorns now have to turn the page and avoid a hangover as they take on a talented UTSA squad that would love for Texas to start the season 1-2.

It's the marquee matchup of the offseason as the Texas Longhorns prepare to square off with the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide for the weekend's premier game.

The big storyline is the national championship rematch that seemingly started the Alabama dynasty and ended the Texas one, but there's so much more to it. Texas has a chance to see how they stack up against the most elite SEC school before they head to the conference in the coming years, while Alabama is on yet another warpath to a CFP trophy.

What can Texas do in the face of one of the most talented teams in the SEC? And how can the defense keep Bryce Young from getting comfortable moving the offense?

Wescott Eberts and Cameron Parker first look back on the Longhorns' performance last week against ULM and the games from Ja’Tavion Sanders and Quinn Ewers (3:00) before turning their attention to Alabama (12:00).

They dive into what it will take to upset Alabama (16:00), Wescott’s takeaways from the Crimson Tide’s 55-0 victory over Utah State in Week 1 (26:30), and their confidence in the Texas secondary (39:00).

Finally, they offer their predictions for Saturday’s game (43:00) and the biggest differences in this Texas team versus last year’s entering Week 2. Wescott and Cameron end the podcast with who should be the College GameDay Guest Picker (wrong answers only) and an anti-Lynyrd Skynyrd rant.

The Texas Longhorns came out and took care of business in the season opener against ULM, cruising to a 52-10 victory to start the season off in the win column.

Offensively, the Longhorns' first drive, and quarterback Quinn Ewers' first passes, left a lot to be desired, but after the young signal caller settled in, Texas was able to move the ball well against an outmatched defense. Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was one of the biggest highlights of the evening, with the most reception yards by a tight end since Jermichael Finley.

Texas also started to hopefully gain some answers on the defensive side of the ball with DeMarvion Overshown and Barryn Sorrell leading the charge in the trenches. If both of those players can emerge as a consistent threat for Texas, the defense may have finally shown some progress year-to-year

The Texas Longhorns were massive favorites over the ULM Warhawks in this one and did what you should do against an outmatched team, cruised to a 52-10 win in the season opener.

After a shaky opening possession in which quarterback Quinn Ewers saw his first second-ever pass attempt intercepted, the Longhorns started to roll thanks — in large part to Ewers and his right arm. The freshman finished the game 16/24 for 225 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with Ja’Tavion Sanders and Bijan Robinson for scores.

Speaking of Robinson, it was a light but productive day for the star running back, finishing his day in the third quarter with 10 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown for his efforts.

Perhaps, the defense was the biggest story for Texas, keeping ULM out of the endzone until the fourth quarter when the second and third-string players were in.

Now Texas turns its sites to the looming matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

We also welcome back to the show Brett Wilkinson of Director's Cup Updates to give us a primer on what Texas needs to do this year for the three-peat and what sports the Longhorns could add to help pad the championship resume.
