    No. 7 Texas heads to Baton Rouge for the first time in 73 years, and the Longhorns get a night game in Tiger Stadium. LSU is 112-19 at home at night since 2000. Lane Kiffin's Tigers are coming off a loss at Alabama and need to win out to keep their playoff hopes alive. Texas has won three straight, is playing its best football of the season, and controls its own path to Atlanta.

    - The series history: Texas leads 9-8-1, and the last trip to Baton Rouge was in 1953
    - How the Texas defense stops the run and makes Sam Leavitt beat them
    - What Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. might throw at Muschamp: empty sets, bunch formations and stack looks
    - Colin Simmons, the pass rush, and why nobody is running the ball on this Texas defense
    - LSU's red zone problem: 457 yards but only 13 points against Alabama
    - Does a night game in Death Valley really matter? Jeremy Hills vs the moon
    - Texas offense vs Blake Baker's defense: avoiding negative plays and staying ahead of the chains
    - Will LSU blitz Arch Manning the way they overwhelmed Clemson?
    - Homecomings for Zion Williams, Arch and the Louisiana Longhorns

    Why personnel groupings and formations are opening people up
    The run game’s patience and confidence, at five yards a carry
    Arch Manning’s best game yet and SEC Offensive Player of the Week, with eight different players catching passes and the ball going where it should
    The Jermaine Bishop touchdown, and how Arch moved defenders with his eyes

    Texas goes into Columbia and comes out with a 34-20 win over No. 19 Missouri, keeping its College Football Playoff hopes alive. Jeremy Hills, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley break down a game that was tied late and turned on a handful of big plays.

    Arch Manning threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead strike to Raleek Brown out of the backfield with 5:03 to play. Brown added 85 rushing yards and the clinching touchdown after Graceson Littleton’s fourth-quarter interception ended Missouri’s last real shot. The Longhorns defense held SEC leading rusher Jamal Roberts to 66 yards and clamped down when it mattered most.

    We also get into:
    Texas at 7-2, three straight wins after the Oklahoma and Florida losses, and four wins over top-20 opponents
    What’s next: a trip to No. 15 LSU

    3rd & Longhorn is live from Taco Deli on South Lamar, and Texas offensive tackle Jonte Newman pulls up a chair.

    The Houston native took a detour through College Station before landing in Austin, and he tells the crew why Texas and Coach Kyle Flood’s development won him over. Jonte talks adjusting to Sark’s spread offense, playing both tackle spots, which edge rushers give him the most trouble in practice, the young defensive lineman he thinks will surprise people, and why O-linemen are more athletic than you think (Oak has thoughts).

    Plus: why College Station can’t compete with Austin, why Austin traffic might be worse than Houston’s, who the best cook on the O-line is, and what goes on the Jonte taco.

    Texas defensive back Graceson Littleton joins 3rd & Longhorn live from Taco Deli on South Lamar. The Florida native explains why he chose Texas, what it felt like to make his first career start as a true freshman nickel on the road at Ohio State, and how he handled lining up against Jeremiah Smith.

    Graceson talks about the sacrifices it takes to earn the field as a freshman, how he avoided the midseason wall, and the mindset behind “earn the day.” He also breaks down what Coach Blake Gideon brings to the secondary and what it’s like getting one-on-one time with Will Muschamp in the slot corner room, jokes included.

    Then he stays loyal to the DB room on trash talk, names the receiver who chirps the most, picks his breakout candidate in the secondary, explains why he skips the sweets on Victory Mondays, and builds the healthiest taco in Taco Deli history.

    Halloween night under the lights at DKR. Texas hosts Mississippi State on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN, and the Bulldogs just lost QB Kamario Taylor. That means Billy Pucket or AJ Swann has to walk into a sold-out stadium against a Will Muschamp defense the whole nation is talking about.

    Alex Okafor, Derrick Johnson, Rod Babers, Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Hills, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley to break down everything on the 40:

    • Can Texas avoid the letdown against a Mississippi State team on a three-game skid?
    • Life after Goosby: Andre Cojoe steps up on the O-line
    • Can Raleek Brown repeat against a run defense giving up almost 200 yards a game?
    • Should the young backs get the carries, or does this team still need to prove it can play four quarters?
    • Stopping Fluff Bothwell and earning the right to rush the passer
    • Special teams and key stats
    • Fun fact: Texas has never played a home game on Halloween
    • The crew’s all-time best Halloween costumes (Usher, Goku, and a Pop-Tart)
    • Score predictions from the entire panel

    Texas leads the all-time series 4-2. Last year in Starkville, the Horns won 45-38 in overtime.

    Drop your score prediction in the comments. We read them and we answer back.

    No. 19 Texas takes down No. 7 Ole Miss, and the full 3rd & Longhorn squad breaks down offense, defense and special teams. Nick Shuley is joined by Jeremy Hills, Fozzy Whittaker, Rod Babers, Derrick Johnson, Alex Okafor and Mark Higgins to recap a win that kept the season on the rails.

    On offense, the crew digs into Arch Manning playing loose and having fun again, Sark simplifying the game with the quick game and dialed-up deep shots, and a commitment to the run that produced 40-plus rushing attempts and over 200 yards. Raleek Brown’s cutback running gets its due, along with Arch using his legs early and the late-game drive of six straight runs that grabbed the momentum back.

    On defense, the guys break down how Will Muschamp held one of the best quarterbacks in the country, Trinidad Chambliss, under 50 percent passing with three interceptions, using a three-high safety package and creative pressure without Colin Simmons. They also go deep on the improvised coverage behind Rasheem Biles’ interception before halftime and give Juice his flowers for playing every snap.

    They finish with special teams, including Alex January’s blocked field goal and a strong night from the punting unit, plus a spirited Chambliss vs. Fernando Mendoza debate and a look at how long it has been since a mobile quarterback truly hurt this Texas defense.

    Texas is back in the win column. Jeremy Hills, Nick Shuley, and Mark Higgins recap the #19 Longhorns knocking off #7 Ole Miss 34-27 in a game that came down to the very last snap.

    With Hollywood Smothers out, Raleek Brown put the offense on his back with a breakout night: 23 carries, 157 yards, the most by a Longhorn since 2024. After getting just 5 and 8 carries in the losses to Oklahoma and Florida, Brown and the run game finally showed up, as Texas piled up 207 rushing yards at 4.9 per carry.

    Arch Manning answered a week of noise with 212 passing yards and three total touchdowns, two on the ground, including a Peyton-esque naked bootleg that put Texas up 31-24 with 8:04 left. It wasn’t clean, with three turnovers, but he made the plays when it mattered.

    Texas built a 24-3 halftime lead, then had to sweat it out. Ole Miss recovered an onside kick and drove to the Texas 24 with six seconds left before Jelani McDonald picked off the Hail Mary as time expired.

    We also get into the injury concerns, with Trevor Goosby going down in the first quarter and Cam Coleman leaving in the third with an apparent shoulder injury, on top of Collin Simmons already being out.

    Two straight losses. A #19 ranking. And now #7 Ole Miss rolls into DKR under the lights. This is as close to a must-win as it gets for Texas, and the Rebels are bringing one of the most dangerous offenses in the country, averaging over 37 points a game behind quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.

    On this episode of 3rd & Longhorn, Nick Shuley is joined by Alex Okafor, Derrick Johnson, Rod Babers, Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Hills and Mark Higgins to break down the matchup:

    Texas defensive lineman Maraad Watson joins 3rd & Longhorn live from Taco Deli on South Lamar in front of a big crowd. The Syracuse transfer explains why he chose Texas, what separates the SEC from the ACC, and why you have to truly love football to play on the line of scrimmage in this league.

    Maraad opens up about starting a full recovery routine this year, names the offensive lineman who gives him the most trouble in practice, and talks about what defensive line coach Kenny Baker has added to his game. He also gives his take on Will Muschamp’s energy and the new defensive scheme, plus the mental approach he’s focused on this season.

    Then he delivers a sharp scouting report on Hollywood Smothers, Raleek Brown and Derrick Cooper, names the strongest man in the D-line room, defends Jersey pizza, builds his own Taco Deli creation, and explains how Julio Jones made a Jersey kid a Falcons fan.

    For the second straight week, Texas lost 27-24 to an unranked team after building a double-digit lead. A 17-3 lead over Florida slipped away, the Gators controlled the second half with 46 rushes and nearly 38 minutes of possession, and Texas drops to 4-2 (1-2 SEC) with Ole Miss coming to town.

    Jeremy Hills, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley react live on 3rd & Longhorn and take your questions:

    Where this offense lost its way after the opening script, and why it still lacks an identity
    The fourth-and-one in the second quarter that swung the game
    Arch’s struggles, short-yardage problems, and how Texas answers the blitz
    What went right: clean football, one penalty, and a strong special teams day led by Ryan Niblett’s big return
    Sark’s “evaluate everything” message and what changes could come this week
    Why every game from here is playoff mode

    Credit to Florida, who won on the road with a quarterback making his first start.

    Texas came up short 27-24 against Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. One October loss doesn’t change what’s possible for this team, though, and the panel lays out why.

    On this episode of 3rd & Longhorn, former Longhorns Alex Okafor, Derrick Johnson, Rod Babers, Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Hills and Mark Higgins join Nick Shuley to cover the whole picture:

    What went right: a dominant first half from the defense, Arch’s answer drive after the pick six, and big plays from Wingo and Bishop
    What to fix: three-and-outs, finding an offensive identity, and getting special teams back on track (including how Mack Brown once turned it around)
    The players’ mindset: how this team gets its get-back, and why the maturity of the locker room matters most right now
    Why Texas bounces back: the gauntlet is behind them, and everything they want is still in front of them
    The remaining schedule by the numbers, and what it means heading into Florida

    Breaking down everything happening on the 40: from the field, to the film, to the fans.

    For the first time ever, 3rd & Longhorn sat down with someone from the other side of the Red River. Yes, Brian Bosworth is a Sooner. Yes, we let him on stage anyway. And Texas fans are going to want to hear this one.

    The Boz grew up in Irving surrounded by Longhorn fans, including a high school coach who played “The Eyes of Texas” outside his locker all week. He tells us how that fueled a lifelong grudge, why he promised his grandfather he’d play at Oklahoma when he was 9 years old, how Barry Switzer unlocked the personality behind one of college football’s original trendsetters, and what it felt like to dominate Texas in 1985.

    He also breaks down what a great defense has to do to win games when the offense isn’t holding up its end, and why he still thinks Texas-OU is the best rivalry in college football.

    Hosted by Nick Shuley with Jeremy Hills and Mark Higgins. Recorded live at the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards in support of the American Heart Association in Arlington, Texas at TEXAS LIVE! Thank you to the Bryant Awards for having us.

    The #1 Texas Longhorns go down in Dallas. Oklahoma wins the Red River Rivalry 27-24 on Tate Sandell’s 47-yard field goal as time expired, and we’re LIVE breaking down all of it.

    Texas held Oklahoma to 238 total yards, forced seven three-and-outs, and gave up just one offensive touchdown, and still lost. The guys go through how that happened:

    Offense: Arch Manning throws for 260 yards and 3 TDs, including a 41-yard strike to Cam Coleman and the game-tying score to Jermaine Bishop Jr., but no first downs on the first four drives and two costly interceptions
    Defense: a dominant day against John Mateer and the Sooners’ offense, until two completions to Isaiah Sategna in the final 19 seconds
    Special teams: the blocked punt recovered for an Oklahoma touchdown, and Gianni Spetic’s 53-yard miss with 1:55 left
    Crucial plays: Peyton Bowen’s 42-yard pick-6, the third-down pass interference that set up OU’s only offensive TD, and Courtland Guillory’s interception with 19 seconds to go
    Key players: who showed up and who Texas needed more from

    Plus: how far does Texas (4-1, 1-1 SEC) fall in the polls, what has to get fixed, and a look ahead to No. 16 Florida in Austin next Saturday.

    Oklahoma has not scored a touchdown against Texas since joining the SEC. Does that streak survive Saturday in Dallas? The #1 Longhorns (4-0) are 8.5-point favorites over a 2-2 Oklahoma team trying to salvage its season, and the 3rd & Longhorn crew doesn't see the Sooners finding the end zone.

    Rod Babers, Alex Okafor, Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Hills, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley break down the Red River Rivalry from every angle:

    * Texas offense vs. a top-10 Venables defense: can the Horns stay ahead of the chains and finally find their identity?
    * What Hollywood Smothers' return means for Arch Manning and the run game
    * The OU corner Sark needs to test, and the tackling problem a bye week can't fix
    * Muschamp's defense vs. a turnover-prone John Mateer and an offense ranked 123rd nationally
    * Colin Simmons, a six-deep defensive tackle room, and winning with a 15% blitz rate
    * Jeremy Hills' "let it fly" game plan for Oklahoma
    * Special teams, the one phase that worries us
    * 2:30 vs. 11 a.m. kickoff: the former players weigh in
    * Score predictions from the whole crew (and Rod's birthday wish)

    Texas Longhorns tight end Nick Townsend joins Alex Okafor, Fozzy Whittaker and Nick Shuley on 3rd & Longhorn and this one is worth your time. Nick talks about why Texas separated itself from everyone else in his recruitment, what coach Sark told him one on one that no other coach did, and how the tight end pipeline at Texas made this a no brainer. He also opens up about his track background - including running a 10.8 at 230 pounds in high school - what the offseason program under coach Beckton has done for his body, and why this is the year people are going to find out who he is. Oh, and he breaks down every detail of that A&M touchdown - how long they sat on the play, what Sark said to him before the snap, and what it felt like when DKR shook.

    Number one Texas escapes Knoxville with a 20-17 win over Tennessee and the whole crew is in the room to break it all down. Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Fozzy Whittaker, Alex Okafor, Mark Higgins, and Nick Shuley go through every angle of a game that saw Colin Simmons break the Texas record with 5.5 sacks as part of a historic ten sack defensive performance. The crew breaks down the beautiful rush plan that used Simmons as a standing Joker to create chaos for a freshman quarterback, Lance Jackson's coming out party, and why this defense might be a top ten unit in the country. On the other side, six sacks allowed, turnovers, penalties, and a passing game that still has not found its rhythm. Rod demands more from the offense and compares it to a star studded movie with a bad plot.

    4-0 heading into the bye week. There is a lot to unpack.

    Number one Texas escapes Knoxville with a 20-17 win over Tennessee and it was anything but pretty. The defense was absolutely historic, with Colin Simmons tying the Texas record with five sacks in a single game as part of a stunning ten sack performance from the unit as a whole. The offense was a different story. Arch Manning started hot and then went cold, the special teams had a rough day full of costly errors, and Tennessee had a chance to pull off the upset late. Jeremy Hills, Nick Shuley and Mark Higgins break down how Texas survived, what Colin Simmons showed the entire country on Saturday, why the offense has to figure it out before the schedule gets even harder, and what the special teams mistakes mean going forward.

    Number one Texas heads to Knoxville for their first road game and their first SEC matchup of the season against a Tennessee team that is averaging over 300 yards rushing per game and starting a true freshman quarterback. Nick Shuley is joined by Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Alex Okafor, and Mark Higgins to break down every angle of this massive early season SEC showdown. The crew gets into whether the Texas passing game can get back on track after the UTSA hangover, what Colin Simmons's status means for stopping a Tennessee ground attack that has been rolling through their schedule, how a freshman quarterback handles his biggest moment yet, and whether Texas's battle tested experience from beating the number one team in the country two weeks ago travels on the road. They also dig into the penalty problem that has to get cleaned up, the special teams matchup including two kickers who have both been outstanding, and all five guys give their score predictions and they are all coming in under the total. College Game Day is in Knoxville and this one has the feel of a classic.

    Number one Texas beat UTSA 30 to 6 and somehow everyone seems disappointed. Rod Babers, Jeremy Hills, Alex Okafor, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley sit down to break down what actually happened Saturday night and separate the real concerns from the overreaction. The crew gets into why the defense deserves way more credit than it is getting, why the offense felt disjointed and whether that is actually a Sark and Arch compatibility problem or just a big win hangover, and what Arch Manning's first 19 games actually look like compared to every other great quarterback in Texas history. They also talk about what Giani Spetic's 52 yard field goal means for this team going forward, Ryan Niblett finally showing some wiggle, and why UTSA has some guys that are going to be playing somewhere else next year.

    Texas Longhorns tight end Spencer Shannon joins 3rd & Longhorn for a conversation that covers everything from his unexpected path to the position to what it means to carry on one of the most impressive tight end traditions in college football. Spencer talks about growing up in California with family ties to Houston, what it was like coming in behind Ja'Tavion Sanders, Gunnar Helm, and Jack Endries and what he learned from each of them, and how he has found his voice as the leader of the tight end room. He also breaks down why Sark considers the tight end the second most important position in the offense, who gives him the most trouble in practice, and which new faces on campus have caught his eye. Oh, and the guy throws 92 miles per hour. We buried that lead a little bit.

    Texas is number one in the country after one of the most improbable wins in college football history against Ohio State and now they have to turn around and play UTSA from right down the road on I-35. Nick Shuley, Rod Babers, and Jeremy Hills break down the very real danger of the big win hangover, why Coach Flood's advice to Connor Robertson might be the most important thing said all week, and what Texas actually has to do to stay focused and sharp heading into a game that could not be more different than what they just experienced. They also break down the UTSA offense and defense, why Jeff Trailer is a legitimately elite football coach that deserves more respect, and why a team sitting at 11 penalties a game might still give Texas some problems if they are not careful.
