Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the expectations for their college football teams. For the Texas Longhorns, simply fielding a competitive team isn't enough; the mandate is dominance. Coming off a season where they proved they belong in the upper echelon of the SEC, the 2026 campaign offers no chance to catch their breath. With a massive non-conference clash against Ohio State and the ever-brutal Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma, the schedule is a gauntlet. But as any Texas faithful will tell you, that's exactly how they like it.
