Texas Iowa, Who Wins?

Texas is coming off its best win in recent memory, a 29-point revenge victory at UCLA while Iowa has done its fair share of thrilling wins as well, with three come-from-behind wins. Both teams are unbeaten through three games.

The Cyclones beat Texas last season at Austin, but the Longhorn team of this year looks greatly improved from last year's. The Longhorns seem to pack plenty of punch this year and appear to be on their way to the powerhouse of old.

I believe that trend will continue. I favor Texas in the upcoming game, though Iowa will keep pace and make it a good show for Big 12 fans.

Texas Longhorns Quarterback

For the majority of the Longhorns season so far, one of the most intriguing storylines was the shuffling of starting quarterbacks by the Longhorns.

The Longhorns recently announced that the competition has gone from 3 down to just 2. The school has announced that junior QB Garrett Gilbert underwent shoulder surgery Tuesday morning and will miss the remainder of the 2011 season.

Who do you have for the Longhorns full-time QB?

We Could Lose Longhorns Aggies Game

Aggies fans and Longhorns fans alike worry that a big part of the Texas' football tradition could be disappearing.

What once used to cause brawls just at the shake of a hand before the game even started, might cease to exist as the tradition-laden rivalry is on the chopping block as it appears the Aggies are headed to the SEC while Texas remains in the Big 12.

Both teams agree that they want the rivalry game to remain, but logistics may come up with a different result.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Freshman Have Huge Impact on Texas Longhorn Offense

Texas Longhorn head coach Mack Brown sure wasn't kidding when he said he was going to be using mostly freshman this season.  Jaxon Shipley became the first true freshman to score a touchdown as a Texas Longhorn.  That is seriously a ridiculous mile stone considering the fact that Texas has such a big history of great players.  My favorite part of his touchdown is who threw it to him: freshman wide out John Harris.  Not to mention freshman running back Malcolm Brown led the team in rushing with 86 yards.  It looks like this offense is going to be very dependent on freshman this season.

Texas Longhorn BYU Preview

Well, week 1 is out of the way.  The Longhorns are now ranked 24th in the polls and the pressure is really on.  Rice was a cupcake game and now it's time for the Longhorns' first real test.  They face the BYU Cougars are a known successful program in the country that is highly respected.  A cool note from the first game, Jaxon Shipley became the first true freshman Longhorn to receive a touchdown in Longhorn history.  That's pretty impressive stuff for such a storied program.  One thing is for sure about this BYU Texas game, we will know a whole lot about the Longhorns after this game. 

Texas Wins Opener 34-9

The Texas Longhorns won their first football game on Saturday.  They played the Rice Owls and they looked pretty dominant in their opener.  They had far too many athletes for the Owls to match up with, which made this a very easy win for the Longhorns.  The most promising part of this win is that starting quarterback Garrett Gilbert looked very good in the win.  Hopefully he is able to take the reigns of this starting quarterback job and run with it.
