RB Gray anchors Texas recruiting class
Still trying to shape his program back into a national championship contender, Texas coach Mack Brown signed another highly rated recruiting class Wednesday, a group anchored by a record-setting running back and notable for its last-minute additions.
Texas annually signs classes rated among the best in the country, but the Longhorns are just 13-12 over the last two seasons since...

Texas lands nation's top recruiting class
The votes are in and tallied, with the results official: Texas has the top recruiting class in the country according to Scout.com.
Why does that matter? For one thing, it's been a pretty good indicator of future success. Eight classes since 2002 have spent at least three seasons on campus. Of those eight No. 1 classes, five went on to win BCS National Titles. Two others won...

Holiday Bowl Preview - Texas vs. Cal
The last time Jeff Tedford and Mack Brown faced each other, it didn't go well for Texas.
When most people think of the two head coaches, they remember the 2004 episode when both Tedford and Brown lobbied for their respective teams to get a BCS bowl berth. Tedford's Cal team narrowly beat Southern Miss on the last week of the regular season while Brown's squad took...

Texas, Cal to finally settle it on the field
In 2004, Texas and California found themselves in similar positions. Each was 10-1 with a shot at a potential program-building BCS game. Texas coach Mack Brown lobbied for the Longhorns to get the spot, while California coach Jeff Tedford largely stayed silent.
And so the Longhorns hopped the Golden Bears in the BCS standings, a decision that seemed to affect both programs.

Texas Can Be Scary Good Next Year
When the Longhorns adopted a "brick-by-brick" approach to rebuilding their football program, they had to have known it would be a multiyear process. Even Mack Brown admitted that he was more interested in the process of improvement than in results. Although it's numbers like wins and losses that determine the job security of a head coach and the perception of his team...

Texas recruit John Gray is Gatorade National POY
Entering the 2011 high school football season, there was little doubt in peoples’ minds that Aledo High School running back– and 2012 University of Texas football commit– John Gray was the best running back in the state of Texas.
Apparently, voters for the Gatorade National Player of the Year Award think that Gray is in fact the nation’s best overall player...

Where does Longhorns football go from here?
Through the 2011 season’s first nine games, the Texas Longhorns are off to a very respectable 6-3 start, depending heavily on freshman contributors and fate to fall in line.
Unfortunately, over the course of the past few weeks, fate has been less than kind. Major offensive contributors Fozzy Whittaker, Malcolm Brown, Joe Bergeron and Jaxon Shipley have all been sidelined with...

With injuries mounting, Brown says Texas is a mess
The Texas Longhorns find themselves facing a crisis of confidence.
Their best player, tailback Fozzy Whittaker, is lost for the season. And there are other injuries on offense.
Freshman quarterback David Ash struggled badly in his first road start during Saturday's 17-5 loss at Missouri. The Longhorns (6-3) face No. 16 Kansas State (8-2) this Saturday.
Even Texas coach Mack...

Should Texas “force” a more balanced offense in coming weeks?
The 2011 Texas Longhorns football team runs the ball well, you could even say with dominance. The efforts of true freshmen Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown, combined with the explosive speed of D.J. Monroe and the veteran smarts and elusivness of Fozzy Whittaker have made the running back unit for Texas one to be reckoned with.
Regardless, Mack Brown mentioned in his morning press...

WTH Moments – Texas vs Oklahoma State
WTH?! (What the Heck?) moments are attempts to find the memorable and the off-beat perspective on Longhorns sports. Here are some interesting moments from the Texas’ game against the Cowboys.
