The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys have mountains to climb in the Big 12 Championship Game this weekend. It's been a long time coming for both programs.

One of the top rivalries in all of college football takes place this weekend. No. 3 Texas faces off against No. 12 Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on Saturday. Regardless of the outcome of this game, it's a solid bet to assume the two teams will meet again for the conference championship game in December. The Longhorns enter the Red River matchup with…

Texas has relied a bit too much on the big plays that this tense rivalry game won't afford - especially early. See why our college football picks see the Longhorns getting off to a slow start when Oklahoma visits for the Red River Rivalry. The final Big 12 rendition of the Red River Rivalry will feature two Top-15 teams, the Texas Longhorns meeting…

Sometimes, the coaches are going to define a matchup more than the guys on the field, and our college football picks think that's precisely what happens when Texas and Alabama clash in Week 2. Call it a helmet game. Call it the biggest game of the weekend. Call it the latest iteration of the three-word wonder this handicapper refuses to utter. The…

The college football world, the burnt orange pocket of it included, tuned into the SEC Network on June 14 in order to learn who Texas would host or where the Longhorns would travel during the program's first football season as a member of the Southeastern Conference. Longhorn fans would soon learn Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, and Kentucky…

The Texas Longhorns will host the 17th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs in their second game since head coach Chris Beard was fired. Here is our best TCU vs. Texas pick. It has been a chaotic start to the new year for the Longhorns. On Jan. 3, they suffered their first home loss of the season, a 116-103 defeat at the hands of the Kansas State Wildcats. It…

Every once in a while, college football presents us with point spreads that can seem "off." In Week 10, Clemson was favored by just 3.5 points over Notre Dame. At the time, Clemson was ranked No. 4 while Notre Dame was unranked. Well, Notre Dame went on to win outright. However, it's not every day you see teams within the same conference where the…

For the last three seasons, the Iowa State Cyclones have notched wins over the Texas Longhorns under head coach Matt Campbell, including a 30-7 win last year in Ames that featured the Cyclones scoring all 27 points in the second half to send head coach Steve Sarkisian's first team to its fourth straight loss. So Sarkisian has styled this season the…

Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian congratulates quarterback Quinn Ewers after a touchdown on Saturday in a 49-0 win over Oklahoma in Dallas. (Associated Press/Jeffrey McWhorter) AMES - Matt Campbell can't identify a flaw. Every time Iowa State's head coach studies Texas, he comes to the same conclusion. "We've played a lot of good Texas teams since we've…

If you're a Sooner fan, watching the 118th edition of Oklahoma-Texas may have aged you 118 years in three hours. I highly don't recommend aging that much so soon if you have a skincare routine. Consult a dermatologist for further advice. There was a television reporter who sat in the Cotton Bowl press box with me. (I won't name names, stations or…

The Red River Rivalry is set to take center stage for the 118th time in the history of the matchup. While neither Oklahoma nor Texas come into this game ranked in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, this game still has the attention of many across the nation. Sure ESPN's College Gameday will be in Lawrence, Kansas, for the Jayhawks tilt with TCU and…

Texas football enters Week 3 of the schedule favored once again by the experts in Las Vegas as the Longhorns prepare to host their third straight non-conference opponent at home Saturday when they face UTSA under the lights of Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium.

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian channeled Nick Saban on Monday, issuing a warning to his Longhorns after their near upset of No. 1 Alabama on Saturday. "First of all, to quote my old boss, we've got to be careful of the rat poison of people telling us how good we are, which is important," Sarkisian said. "A week ago, everyone told us how bad…

It's a game that's been circled on the college football calendar for a long time. No. 1 Alabama heads to Austin to take on Texas in a game that is not being played in a neutral site, but rather on campus. Alabama becomes the first SEC team to travel to Austin since LSU beat the Longhorns 45-38 in a thrilling battle of two top-10 teams in 2019. LSU…

If you had told anyone at Texas back in August they would beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa, lose just once in a close game to a top-15 team and have the opportunity to win the Big 12 championship with a 12-1 record, they would have taken it with no questions asked. Not only would that have been considered one of the great seasons for any Texas team in…
