Haha!

Arkansas has fired head coach Sam Pittman according to Pete Thamel. Offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino has been named the interim.

Smoke Matthews IG story

We'll see if he makes it out that way. Certainly worse ways to spend a bye week lol

4:00 p.m. Thursday Afternoon Sarkisian and Gilbert stopped in Willis to check-in with Texas ATH commit Jermaine Bishop Jr.

6:05 p.m. Thursday Night Steve Sarkisian and Chris Gilbert have arrived at the Mayde Creek and Katy Paetow game to check in on LB commit Kosi Okpala

Sarkisian and Kyle Flood stopped by to see 2027 five-star OL Kennedy Brown around 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

Steve Sarkisian and Johnny Nansen to see LB commit Tyler Atkinson on Friday night.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff are on the recruiting trail this weekend. Some are headed far, some are staying close to home. A quick update thread on where the Texas staff will be headed this week.

All of which were disingenuous to begin with.

Lagway practicing this AM

Florida head coach Billy Napier says QB DJ Lagway is "100%" as of Wednesday during his time on the weekly SEC Teleconference. The UF QB was in a boot following the Gators' loss this weekend to Miami. However, Napier says the boot was due to the sophomore quarterback being stepped on in the game and that he "is fine" at the moment. Florida is idle this week, then will host the Longhorns on October 4 in Gainesville.

Surratt is fantastic. The best back shoulder WR in the country. Omar Cooper has been superb as well this season.

It is likely Texas faces off against Oklahoma with a backup QB for the third time in the last four meetings.

Very, very unfortunate for Mateer. SoonerScoop has reported that the OU QB will have surgery on Wednesday. Oklahoma has a bye this week, but Michael Hawkins has been named the starter for next weekend's game against Kent State on October 4. Reportedly a 3-week absence at least for Mateer.

I am in shambles.

New WBB commit.

Who knows how healthy he ever has been. My best bet is only DJ knows that answer.

Encouraging stuff here. On the rewatch, there is plenty that Brooks will need to clean up, but that of course is to be expected in a true freshman's first time seeing the field. Yet often you see him climbing with success to the second level. Brooks moving as well as he does at his size is such a weapon for the Horns. This was an awesome rep here.

Was desperately needed!

Currently holding a 55–1 Mendoza Heisman ticket too

3 Stars of the Game in the 55–0 Win *** *** Star #1: QB Arch Manning I don't care the opponent, you complete 18-21 passing, eclipse 300 yards passing and find the end zone five total times, you have a solid day. Manning looked confident, and improved his accuracy as the game continued which was tremendous to see. Star #2: WR Ryan Wingo It was great to see the connection with Arch and Wingo grow. It was clear early on that Texas wanted to get Wingo involved and it paid off. Wingo ended up with 4 receptions for 93 yards and two scores, plus he added 32 yards on a reverse. I do believe a wrinkle is coming off of the reverse, Texas has run it just about every week of the season to some degree. We will see come SEC play. Star #3: EDGE Brad Spence Sign me up for more Brad Spence! This is two of the four weeks I have come out of a ball game saying just this. When he is on the field in passing situations, he thrives. Spence totaled a sack and 2 tackles for loss, basically living in the backfield during his 22 snaps Saturday night. Spence currently sits with a 25.8% win rate. HM1 Smith Orogbo: I know the game was well out of hand, but for any true freshman to step onto the field and immediatley record a strip sack, sign me up. Loved what I saw from Orogbo. HM2 DeAndre Moore: Man, getting D-Mo back on the field is massive for the Horns. Moore caught all five receptions for 79 yards and was such a welcome sight in the quick pass game as a lead blocker. Moore was great all night.

Most accurate kicker in the history of the game does it again!

The Longhorns hosted a third official visitor this weekend as well. 6-foot-1 IMG Academy (Fla.) forward Joyce 'Isi' Etute was on campus for an official visit as well. Etute is one of the top international players in the country for the class of 2026. A native of Luxemburg, averaged 18.7 PPG and 13.4 RPG in the 2024 FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket. Etute has a final seven of Louisville, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Texas, Cal, Indiana and UCLA.
