College football is back, baby! Here’s what you need to know about The University of Texas at Austin Longhorns this season:
🐂 The First Game Is This Weekend
The Longhorns play Ohio State University on Saturday at 11 a.m. in Columbus, Ohio. The teams last met in January for the Cotton Bowl Classic in Arlington. After beating UT 28-14, Ohio State went on to win the national championship against Notre Dame.
🏈 Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium’s Field Will Look Different
For the first time ever, the university will allow sponsor logos to be displayed on the field at Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. UT is partnering with beet brand Humann as the official cardiovascular supplement for Texas Athletics. The company’s logo will eventually be displayed on all Texas Athletics playing surfaces.
🏠 The Longhorns Will Play Six Home Games
The football team will play six home games and six away games this year. Home games include: San Jose State University, the University of Texas at El Paso, Sam Houston State University, Vanderbilt University, University of Arkansas, and Texas A&M University. The Red River Rivalry vs. the University of Oklahoma is Oct. 11 in Dallas.
Single tickets for home games are only available on secondary markets after being sold out on the university website.
🕶️ All Eyes Are on Arch Manning
Arch Manning, the oldest son of Cooper Manning and nephew to Peyton and Eli Manning, is the Longhorns’ new starting quarterback after Quinn Ewers entered the National Football League draft in January.
Much has been made about Arch Manning – some are predicting he’ll win the Heisman Trophy, lead Texas to a national championship, and be the first pick for the 2026 NFL draft.
🤘 Texas Plays A&M on Nov. 28
The most important part of this story: The Longhorns will take on Texas A&M University at home on Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m. Texas beat the Aggies last November 17-7.
