For the second consecutive week, the Texas Longhorns are the No. 1 team in the country. Texas (3-0), which remains atop the AFCA Coaches Poll after Saturday’s 30-6 win over UTSA, is still No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25. With 58 first-place votes, the Longhorns edged out No. 2 Georgia for the program’s 52nd all-time No. 1 appearance in the AP Poll. Notre Dame (No. 3), Ole Miss (No. 4) and reigning national champion Indiana (No. 5) round out the latest top five. Tennessee, a 42-9 winner over Kennesaw State on Saturday and Texas’ opponent in the SEC opener in Knoxville next Saturday (11 a.m., ABC), is No. 14 in the latest AP Top 25. After a 24-23 comeback win over then-No. 1 Ohio State on Sept. 12, the Longhorns improved to 18-14 against AP Top 25 opponents, with an 8-13 record against top-15 opponents. The victory over the Buckeyes was Texas’ fourth in its last six games against top-15 foes. Those wins, however, came at home; the Longhorns went 0-3 in true road games last season, including losses to No. 3 Ohio State and No. 5 Georgia. Returning to top form on the road is easier said than done against the Volunteers, who will host Texas for the first time at historic Neyland Stadium. Before last year’s season-opening loss to the Buckeyes, the Longhorns had an FBS-leading 11-game winning streak in true road games. View full news story

Congratulations Brian.

Aggies are ready to fire every coach. Elko is going to find out that Red Adair was right. "If you think hiring professionals is expensive, wait until you hire amateurs."

According to Jeff Foxworthy, the ones living in double-wides are really well off compared to those in regular trailers. 😅

Correct. Agree 100%

I’m not panicking but I would like Arch to be more consistent and confident in the pocket. Need the 2nd half Mississippi State Arch to start clicking.

Last night was a very special moment in the pre-game for our friend Brian Robison. Brian recently completed his degree at The University of Texas and was therefore awarded his T-Ring. This was a long process for Brian because he returned to school after some of the classes he originally needed for his degree had been sunsetted and no longer offered. He and his wife worked through that hiccup and after a couple of classes it resulted in yesterday. Congrats to B-Rob, a University of Texas graduate!

I am not panicked but just disappointed at how disjointed and listless the team played. The expectations are very high. That 2005 team just oozed with confidence from March to January. That is what you want to see here.

Missouri had 230 yards of offense versus Troy. At Missouri. A Troy that gave up 335 yards passing to SHSU, a team they beat by 3 at home. MSU, UF both gave up a lot of points, committed a ton of penalties. Ole Miss is good, but they are having to navigate a more difficult schedule than last year. Lacy is already banged up. They get to suit up and head to Florida next week. Somehow they only have 4 road games again.

I am not going to say panic but more or less disappointed especially on the offense. I am contemplating that is this offense has not become too predictable. And over the past 6 years Sark hasn't changed much and it's starting to catch up. And I just don't think this team is an explosive offense the personal is there but everybody now sees what Texas can do. We just need to be a blue collar hound it down run short intermediate passing game then at some point explosiveness will happen.

I mean that is fair. 4 years into the system and still the same questions. Then at times he is a world beater. Frustrating as hell. And yeah the excuses are getting old to be honest. Maybe this is just who he is . I still am willing to see it play out, and hopefully these things can be corrected. Still want to be fair because you can see the good as well. But it's evident we have to win in all 3 phases. No one person can carry this team like a Chambliss can for Ole Miss. But we have enough talent, and hopefully we put it together to take some pressure off. Will see.

No panic. Texas will not be ultimately judged by how they play against UTSA. Judgement will come against the likes of Tennessee, etc.

Panic? Absolutely not. Do I feel good about this team offensively when we're about to go play Tennesse in Knoxville? No, I don't. Like Bobby said, I'm not gonna draw any conclusions based on how people play or coach against UTSA, I'm gonna reserve that for OSU, Tennessee, OU, etc...

half joking. It should be Peyton and they should have Ella perform

I think benching someone after leading a 4th quarter 21 point comeback where he was dang near perfect because they're playing bad against UTSA is probably the reason why you're not into coaching lol. Not there with you at all. But he has to play better. I don't think it's performance anxiety at all since he actually plays better when *stuff* gets real and Texas needs it... if he had performance anxiety he would've crumbled last week, he would've crumbled against michigan, he would've crumbled against a&m, he would've crumbled against mississipi state... I think he just gets in his head too much some time and I think the off field stuff this week didn't help. I think he wanted to go out and be perfect last night instead of just playing football and having fun and when things didn't go perfectly he got in his head.

Guest picker needs to be Ella Langley for the whole “Choosin’ Texas” joke that ESPN can push for 3 hours straight

Not panicking, but there are some legit concerns. Obviously the offense had to get going faster and for 4 quarters. We won but I'm looking at the big picture SEC schedule now. I truly hope Arch gets better at the weaknesses he has right now. He has to for us to get where we all wanna go. Not bashing him because again he does many things well. But I think there are legitimate questions about the same things over and over. Will know way more about 2:30 next Saturday. But to be fair they all looked out of sync. I expect better Sat of course. Be a long 2 weeks before OU if we play flat again. Tennessee is definitely gonna be a challenge. I always had OSU and Tenn as the bell weather's. Got 1 need 2 ! Hopefully all 3 phases show up and play 4 quarters.

Thanks

Emotionally I was ready for him to be bench. I’m always root for him to be great, but realistically speaking, I started to wonder if he gets performance anxiety once things are out of sorts. I really don’t know what to blame Sark on.

Learning some valuable lessons. Hand the ball off. Kneel down in traffic.

I would rather face adversity against UTSA at home than on the road in Knoxville. I was at the game yesterday, and I was definitely frustrated. Learn from it and move on. Arch started slow last year too, and I would rather be in this position this year than last.
