SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The question came not from a sympathetic partisan viewpoint, rather a neutral inquisitor. At an Alamo Bowl news conference, Michal Penix Jr. and Jaxson Kirkland, the University of Washington quarterback and his trusted offensive guard, were asked by a local media member with a noticeable drawl why they were 3-point underdogs…

One of the more entertaining games of the bowl season could be the matchup between Texas and Washington, teams that haven't played since they squared off in the 2001 Holiday Bowl. Washington (10-2) had an outstanding season under first-year coach Kalen DeBoer while the Longhorns (8-4) had a bit of a disappointing season number two under Steve…

SAN ANTONIO- No. 12 Washington is a 10-win team with a six-game winning streak that includes wins over No. 14 Oregon State and at No. 15 Oregon with a quarterback - Michael Penix Jr. - who finished No. 8 in Heisman Trophy balloting, one spot ahead of Texas running back Bijan Robinson, who was No. 9. But, according to Las Vegas, the favorite (by 3.5…

The headline is slang for a low-scoring game. That's what I'm expecting in the Alamo Bowl when the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (8-4) meet the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2) Thursday at the Alamodome. Texas started the season 2-2 before rallying for a 6-2 finish to make a bowl game in coach Steve Sarkisian's second season in Austin. The Longhorns are…

Robinson ranks fourth all-time on the…

This edition covers the biggest bowl-season questions, as determined by…

No. 20 Texas is favored by more than a field goal against No. 12 Washington in the Alamo Bowl. Bowl games are all about who is present, both physically and mentally, and the Longhorns could have a lot of absence to deal with here. Three star players are skipping the bowl game for the draft: running backs Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, and…

The No 21 Texas Longhorns are set to face the No. 12 Washington Huskies in the Valero Alamo Bowl down in San Antonio this Thursday at 8 p.m. Central.

The Alamo Bowl is one of the most high powered bowl games of the 2022 college football bowl season. Texas and Washington head to the Alamo Bowl with a ton of offensive talent on each side.

The First (Annual?) Gary Patterson Bowl goes down in Austin. Two questions will define No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas, one far more important than the other. First, who will be more satisfied in victory: TCU, moving to 10-0 with a team comprised of largely the same pieces of the 2021 Patterson-led team that went 5-7 with a win over Gary Patterson, or…

The Iowa State Cyclones and No. 22 Texas Longhorns look like teams heading in opposite directions.

The Red River Showdown at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is annually billed as the marquee event on the Big 12 football schedule.

Sticking close to'Bama as three-touchdown underdogs created a lot of buzz that once-powerful Texas may indeed be on the rise again.

Georgia (-24.5) @ South Carolina I know it might seem like I'm picking on South Carolina early in the season, but the schedule isn't doing them any favors here. Georgia stomped a mudhole in Oregon Week 1, and I consider them a much better team than South Carolina. That was a'neutral' game that was in Atlanta, and this is a road game against a…

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas coach Steve Sarkisian couldn't beat Nick Saban last week. That didn't stop him from borrowing some wisdom from the old master.
