Texas Is No. 1—and This Time It’s DIFFERENT | State of the Program

On Texas Football

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers explain why Texas deserves its No. 1 ranking—and why this team feels more complete than the previous Longhorn squads that reached the top. Texas possesses elite talent across the roster, legitimate strength along both lines of scrimmage and a defensive coordinator in Will Muschamp who proved he can make championship-level adjustments against an elite opponent.

More importantly, the Longhorns defeated Ohio State with physicality when everyone knew they had to run the football. The crew breaks down three consecutive fourth-quarter scoring drives, Steve Sarkisian’s growth against three-safety defenses and the goal-line stand that finally erased one of the program’s biggest lingering questions. Texas has slain the dragon; now it must prove it can consistently play to a championship standard.
