81 Days Until Kickoff: Who Was The Best No. 81?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 81 days away from Texas football, and No. 81 has one of the strongest groups in the countdown so far.

Pat Fitzgerald was a two-time first-team All-American at tight end, while Sam Acho finished with 23.5 sacks and earned both the Campbell and Wuerffel trophies. Shane Dronett recorded 22 career sacks and set the Texas single-game record with five against Texas Tech, and Maurice Doke was a first-team All-American and the 1959 Southwest Conference Lineman of the Year.

The current No. 81 is tight end Nick Townsend.

Who gets your vote as the best Longhorn to wear No. 81?

[Blake Munroe]

Also, what’s your expected stat line for Nick Townsend this season? How many yards and TDs?

[John Boyle]

Thanks Blake!  Love Sam Acho, Shane Dronett and Pat Fitzgerald!  🤘

Pat Fitzgerald for me, very close with Dronett avd Acho. Practically tied at the top.
I think Townsend has 30 catches for 575 yards 5 receiving touchdowns avd 2 rushing TDs.

There’s a tight end who wasn’t mentioned. I heard that you can call him and get it straightened out.

The phone number is 281-330-8004.

Some good ones at 81, but Pat Fitzgerald for me.  We wouldn't have gotten to fourth down in St Louis if not for a ridiculous one handed catch he made.  As an aside, James Brown's escape from the pass rush in the end zone was ridiculous also - just an other worldly play.
