“A Legitimate National Title Contender” — Phil Steele’s BOLD Texas Prediction | Steve Sarkisian
3w ago00:19:33Summary readyCollege football expert Phil Steele joins Bobby Burton to explain why he ranks Texas No. 4 nationally and believes the Longhorns can win the 2026 national championship. Steele projects Texas to have the nation’s No. 3 offense and No. 8 defense, pointing to Arch Manning’s late-season growth, a dramatically improved offensive line, two proven transfer running backs and the potentially explosive combination of Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo. Steele also breaks down the SEC championship race between Texas and Georgia, explains why the Longhorns landed several major transfer-portal upgrades and evaluates Texas A&M ahead of the rivalry rematch. Plus, he reveals Alabama as his biggest surprise team, names Gunnar Stockton as a long-shot Heisman candidate and explains why the 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class could be one of the deepest in years.

SummaryTexas CAN’T Keep Relying on Arch Manning — Sark’s Offense Must Evolve | Longhorns Football
3w ago00:21:20Summary readyRod Babers and Jeff Howe explain why Texas cannot continue treating Arch Manning as its most dependable short-yardage runner. With a talented collection of running backs, tight ends and receivers, Steve Sarkisian must develop a more diverse offensive identity featuring power packages, two-back formations, empty sets and tendency-breaking plays. The Longhorns’ championship hopes could depend on finally becoming efficient on third down and in the red zone without repeatedly putting their quarterback in harm’s way. The discussion then shifts to Will Muschamp and how his new Texas defense could differ from the units he coordinated in Austin nearly two decades ago. Expect aggressive man coverage, more pressure packages and a relentless pursuit of takeaways—even if that approach occasionally surrenders a big play. Rod and Jeff explain how Muschamp’s havoc-driven philosophy could create early opportunities for Sark’s offense, help Texas play from ahead and unleash Colin Simmons once opponents are forced into predictable passing situations.

Summary“I Can’t Call Sark an Elite Offensive Mind” — Texas’ Biggest Problem in 2026
3w ago00:51:32Summary readyRod Babers and CJ Vogel deliver a blunt assessment of Steve Sarkisian entering his sixth season at Texas. Despite three consecutive double-digit-win seasons, the Longhorns have consistently fallen short of elite status on third down, in the red zone and with their in-game offensive adjustments. With Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons, is this the season Sark finally produces the dominant offense Texas needs to win a national championship? The guys also discuss Sarkisian’s opportunity to defeat Oklahoma and Texas A&M for a third consecutive season, why the Sooners may present the tougher rivalry matchup and which road games could derail Texas’ title pursuit. Plus, they break down Graceson Littleton’s position in Will Muschamp’s secondary, Laerence Seymore’s upside at left guard, Landon Williams-Callis’ five-star talent and how an aggressive defense could help Texas take control of games early.

SummaryIs Landen Williams-Callis Trending Texas? | Steve Sarkisian | Longhorns Football
3w ago00:18:34Summary readyJeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and Jordan Scruggs deliver the latest intel before elite 2027 running back Landon Williams-Callis announces his commitment. After falling behind following Tashard Choice’s departure, Texas mounted a major comeback through a full-staff recruiting effort and now appears to be the favorite over Texas A&M, SMU and the rest of the field. The crew explains why the Longhorns have surged—and why both Gerry and Jordan are predicting Texas. Williams-Callis is already one of the most accomplished running backs in Texas high school football history, with an opportunity to challenge several major records during his senior season. The guys examine his historic production, his potential legacy in Austin and how pairing him with Noah Roberts could give Steve Sarkisian an exceptional two-back class while reducing Texas’ future dependence on the transfer portal.

3w ago00:28:49Summary readyOn Texas Football reveals its 10 highest-ranked players on the Longhorns’ 2026 roster—and Arch Manning does not claim the top spot.

The crew also breaks down the championship impact of Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby and Rasheem Biles while identifying the players who must take another step this season. Can Ryan Wingo finally turn his immense potential into consistent production? Will Lance Jackson become the disruptive force Texas needs opposite Simmons?

SummaryLIVE: Why Texas Has LEGITIMATE Championship Upside... & Why You Should Pump The Brakes | Longhorns Football | Steve Sarkisian | Arch Manning
3w ago01:12:02Summary readyJeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has legitimate championship-level upside entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns return a quarterback capable of erasing mistakes in Arch Manning, surround him with explosive weapons at receiver and running back, and feature potential havoc creators such as Colin Simmons and Rasheem Biles on defense. However, Texas must eliminate the penalties, negative plays and offensive-line breakdowns that repeatedly forced the offense behind the chains last season. The conversation then turns to Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and the blueprint Texas can use to disrupt him. Sayin is one of the nation’s most accurate passers when protected, but his production drops dramatically when defenses generate consistent pressure—creating a major opportunity for Will Muschamp’s aggressive scheme. The guys also discuss why the Ohio State matchup could define Texas’ season, Steve Sarkisian’s impressive record against the Longhorns’ biggest rivals and whether Arch can break Colt McCoy’s single-season passing record.

SummaryWhich Longhorns Are Facing MAJOR Pressure in This Season? | Texas Football | Steve Sarkisian
3w ago00:29:39Summary readyBobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers count down the five Longhorns facing the most pressure entering the 2026 season. The list includes secondary leader Jelani McDonald, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and new kicker Gianni Spetic, who could be asked to decide multiple one-score games against one of the nation’s most difficult schedules. The crew explains why improved leadership, offensive-line cohesion and clutch special-teams play could determine how far Texas goes. Arch Manning enters the season at No. 2 with Heisman expectations, NFL attention and the responsibility of elevating Texas in its biggest moments. However, the most pressure belongs to Steve Sarkisian, who must turn a loaded roster, an upgraded offense and Will Muschamp’s defense into another College Football Playoff run. Is this finally the season Sark produces an elite offense, defeats the nation’s best teams and gets Texas over the championship hump? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
