Longhorn Republic

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns built their playoff resume a year ago with a big road win in a hostile environment and hope history repeats itself as the head to Ann Arbor. What, if anything, can we take away from how the Wolverines performed in Week 1? Can we build a case for Texas to win the game? We dive in on that, plus Podstradamus picks and our streaming recommendations for the week.

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns did what championship-contending teams should do to outmatched opponents and jumped all over the Colorado State Rams to a lopsided victory. Perhaps the most impressive part about the game is that there wasn’t a truly dominant performance from one player. Quarterback Quinn Ewers turned in another day at the office, spreading the ball around to multiple receivers en route to an early exit. Jaydon Blue got the start at running back and ended his day early with the game in-hand as Texas looks to protect the depth in that room. The defense shut down the Rams’ air raid attack, turning them over two times en-route to the season-opening shut out. Fans hope that same intensity travels with them north as they prepare for the unfriendly confines of Ann Arbor, Mich.

After a long offseason, the week is finally upon us — the Texas Longhorns will take the field for the 2024 season. They open the season on a hot Saturday against the Jay Norvell and the Colorado State Rams, a team that was a few one-score games away from a winning record a year ago. They return the top two threats from a passing game that embraces the classic Air Raid thanks to offensive coordinator Matt Mumme, son of the legendary Hal Mumme. What do we expect to see from the Longhorns in the 2024 season opener? What will this tell us about the 2024 season overall?

We’ve reached game week, which means its time for our annual season preview. Unlike years past, we’ve brought on another voice to help us preview the 2024 Texas Longhorns, someone who has the pulse of the students and the campus. What are the vibes on the Forty Acres heading coming off of a CFP berth and heading into the SEC?

We have officially reached Week 0 of college football and the final week of our season previews, closing out the series with the Colorado State Rams. It’s year three for Jay Norvell, who was a few near-misses away from what would be called a successful season a year ago. Now, with another offseason of program building under his belt, what will the Rams bring to Austin and through the rest of the year?
