Longhorns Defense Looks Sharp

Last year the Longhorns defense was third in the Big 12, allowing 23.3 points per game, and first in the conference in total yards allowed per contest—numbers that should only improve this season.

Heading into the 2012 season, the Longhorns Defense is poised to be the best unit in the Big 12 and possibly the country.

The Longhorns defense will return seven of last year's starting 11, but there is still room for the defense to grow. The Longhorns have a strong group of players able to rush the quarterback and defend the pass, making life difficult for Big 12 opponents.

Longhorns' basketball 2012-2013 non-conference schedule released



Yesterday the Longhorns released their basketball non-conference schedule, much to the joy of the fans. No, we don't have a Big 12 schedule yet, but the games against Michigan State, UCLA, Georgetown and North Caroline definitely make up for it. Also, the promise of the Longhorns playing in the EA Sports Maui Invitational is tempting, I know I'd love to go see those games in Hawaii. Those will be played against Butler, Chaminade, Illinois, Marquette, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Southern California, which promises to be interesting.

They haven't decided on a broadcast schedule yet, and the dates aren't even set in stone yet, but you can see the current schedule here
