    How Texas Escaped Knoxville With a 20-17 Win, Colin Simmons Makes History, What's Next for Offense
    2026/09/29
    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.

    Texas Grinds Out 20-17 Win Over Tennessee. Simmons Wreaks Havoc w 5 Sacks | Texas Defense Dominates.
    2026/09/26

    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.

  • Texas at Tennessee Preview: Battle Tested Longhorns Face Their First Real Road Challenge of the Year

    Texas at Tennessee Preview: Battle Tested Longhorns Face Their First Real Road Challenge of the Year
    2026/09/23
    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.

    2026/09/22
    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.0:04 Welcome Back - UTSA Recap Special Edition0:42 Why There Was No Postgame Show This Week1:03 Rod Opens Up - The Defense Deserves More Credit1:56 Arch Manning Completing Less Than 50 Percent Downfield - Is That a Problem2:56 What Is the Identity of This Offense Three Games In3:42 Resting the Horses and What Derek Cooper Showed Us4:10 Could This Be the Hardest Schedule in Texas Football History5:21 What We Actually Saw From the Offense - Inconsistency and Sloppiness6:01 UTSA Was More Intense Than Texas and That Is a Problem6:47 Defense Held UTSA Out of the End Zone for the First Time in 75 Games7:36 A Mature Team Plays to Their Standard the Week After a Big Win8:34 The Offense Was Not Completely Broken - Let Us Be Fair9:41 Silver Lining - 200 Plus Yards Rushing and Six Quarters Without Giving Up a Touchdown10:17 The Passing Game Felt Disjointed - What Is Actually Going On10:59 Does Arch Manning Have a Comfort Player Yet11:38 Colt Had Shipley and Vince Had David Thomas - Who Does Arch Have12:07 Are We Expecting Too Much From Arch Manning12:51 The Accuracy and Timing Concerns That Keep Coming Back13:09 Is Arch Manning Actually Compatible With Sark's Offense15:45 Sark Took Blame in the Press Conference and That Matters16:11 Arch Manning's First 19 Games Compared to Every Great Texas Quarterback19:00 Reframe the Expectations - This Might Be a Defense First Team20:19 The O Line Is Better and He Has Time to Throw - So Why the Inconsistency20:54 UTSA Has Portal Players Worth Watching - Chapman and Henderson21:41 Giani Spetic Goes Hits a 52 Yarder22:10 Niblett Finally Showed Some Wiggle22:56 Wrap Up and Tennessee Preview Coming SoonWelcome to 3rd & Longhorn, your ultimate destination for all things Texas Longhorn Football!

    Texas TE Spencer Shannon on Carrying the Tight End Legacy, Colin Simmons & His Unexpected Path to UT
    2026/09/17
    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.

    Texas vs UTSA Preview - Can the Longhorns Avoid the Big Win Hangover as Number 1 team in the Nation?
    2026/09/16
    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.

  • Texas vs Ohio State - Final Thoughts and Full Studio Break Down of One of the Most Improbable Wins

    Texas vs Ohio State - Final Thoughts and Full Studio Break Down of One of the Most Improbable Wins
    2026/09/15
    Rod Babers and Jeremy Hills sit down with Nick Shuley for their final thoughts and full breakdown on how Texas pulled off one of the most improbable wins in college football history against number one Ohio State. Down 20 points in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns did something that statistically should not happen at any level of football. The crew breaks down how Sark committed to the run against a three high defense, how Muschamp made the adjustments that changed the game, how Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers physically took over in the fourth quarter, and why the belief this team has was built long before Saturday. They also get into the indoor warmup story that nobody else is talking about and why an entire program won that game.0:04 Why We Had to Do This Special Edition Studio Show0:55 Jeremy Hills on Why This Win Made No Statistical Sense1:46 The Numbers That Make This Win Even More Remarkable2:34 Did Anyone in the Stadium Actually Still Believe3:13 The Shakespearean Irony of How Texas Won in the Red Zone4:04 How the Game Flipped in the Second Half4:36 Arch Manning Was Not the Problem in This Game5:44 The Turning Point and What the First Quarter Was Really Like6:19 Was the Play Calling Good and the One Call We Questioned7:14 Sark Committing to the Run Was the Evolution Everyone Wanted to See8:31 Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers Physically Dominated in the Fourth Quarter9:48 How Ohio State Got Bullied Up Front and the Tape Proves It11:11 The Ultimate Chess Match and Why Sark Is Now Unpredictable12:04 This Win Was Built Last Year Against Florida Mississippi State and Kentucky13:12 Arch Manning Is Battle Tested and This Team Has Proven It14:18 Matt Patricia Used the Three High Kryptonite Against Sark and Sark Beat It15:20 The One Play That Could Have Changed Everything16:41 The Wingo Drop That Hurt and What Making Your Plays Means17:44 One Quarter of Good Football Beat the Number One Team in America18:21 Muschamp Adjustments That Won the Game19:03 Bo Mascoe on Jeremiah Smith and the Defensive Tape Every NFL Scout Needs to Watch20:28 How Muschamp Changed Personnel to Slow Down Ohio State22:04 Donald Nguyen and the Indoor Warmup Story Nobody Is Talking About23:41 Why an Entire Program Won That Game Not Just the Players23:57 Wrap Up and Hook EmWelcome to 3rd & Longhorn, your ultimate destination for all things Texas Longhorn Football!
