There has been a hot topic in the NFL world in regards to the 2028 Summer Olympics which will include Flag Football for the first time in the history of the Olympiad. Of course, the overwhelming consensus is that the United States will be the heavy favorite when it is time for competition. However, I want to look at it with burnt orange glasses on. Build your dream flag football (7 on 7) roster using Longhorns you've watched over your lifetime. I was going to put a timeframe on this one but I think the conversation will be more fun with limitless options. I'll drop my roster here: *** Offense QB: Colt McCoy RB: Bijan Robinson WR: Xavier Worthy WR: Jordan Shipley WR: Roy Williams TE: Gunnar Helm RB Alternate: Jamaal Charles WR Alternate: Matthew Golden Should be some fun conversations about tight end with Helm, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Jermichael Finley all earning some looks. Wide receiver is very much the same. Who gives Limas Sweed and Quan Cosby some love on their rosters? Defense For defense, go with a combination of a middle linebacker and two STARs (nickels), or two linebackers and one STAR. That is up to you and how you choose to construct your defense. MLB: DeMarvion Overshown STAR: Quandre Diggs STAR: Jahdae Barron S: Earl Thomas S: Andrew Mukuba CB: Quentin Jammer CB: Aaron Ross The defensive side of the ball allows for much more roster flexibility. So many different combinations. I opted for ballhawks across the board and specifically near the football with Diggs and Barron playing the middle of the field in the second level. The range of Earl Thomas and Andrew Mukuba in the backend ensure that no one is beating me deep as well.

How cool is that! What a night!

7 K’s for Kavan in 5.2 of relief.

What a sweaty, gritty, resilient, frightening victory for the Horns. But a win nonetheless. Decisive game three tomorrow.

7–5 lead for Texas going into the bottom of the 10th.

Heart of the Clemson order coming up.

Fantastic job by Kavan. That was gritty.

To extras we go!

There is no reason for this to even be reviewed for obstruction. Absolutely none.

That’s a spectacular play.

Atwood is the only Longhorn i have seen in the last three innings to put up a competitive at bat. Plate discipline has been underwhelming. Feels like the lineup is pressing a good bit.

Kavan looks good tonight. Headed to the 7th. Good time for a run or 6.

Some incredibly uncompetitive at bats in that frame.

Speed kills. Leadoff man on for the Horns.

Looked good too.

Kavan gets out of the 5th. Showing some passion (finally) out of the circle. Tie game at 5–5 going to the 6th.

The softball gods granted Texas new life. Time for the girls in the circle to figure it out and get this one across the finish line.

Huge!

Texas gets an additional life there…

Clemson reviewing to see if Mia Scott left the bag early.

Error from Clemson SS. Texas has 2 on with 2 outs.

Not remotely close to the zone and Clemson has a lead after back to back walks.

Tie game. Ball squeaks through.

Massive play.
