Craig Way Compares Current Longhorns to Past Championship Teams | Texas Football

On Texas Football

The Voice of the Longhorns, Craig Way, joins Bobby Burton to assess the enormous expectations surrounding Texas entering the 2026 season. Way compares the anticipation to the 2005 and 2009 teams, explains why Georgia still deserves to be viewed as the SEC favorite and identifies the conference contenders capable of challenging the Bulldogs and Longhorns. The conversation also covers Arch Manning’s place among the SEC’s quarterbacks, Oklahoma’s championship-caliber defense and the potential impact of Lane Kiffin at LSU.

Craig also looks ahead to Texas’ demanding road schedule, including trips to Tennessee, LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M, while sharing stories from nearly four decades of traveling with the Longhorns. He ultimately predicts Texas will reach the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta and secure a College Football Playoff berth, provided the Longhorns remain healthy and continue improving throughout a difficult nine-game SEC schedule.
