## Resource

Rusty Mansell joins On Texas Football for a raw, football-first conversation about where Texas really stands in the SEC after its battles with Georgia. From the outside looking in, the Longhorns have the talent, the roster, the quarterback buzz and the national spotlight — but Mansell makes clear that the next step is not about hype. It is about whether Texas can win the kind of ugly, physical, line-of-scrimmage games that Georgia has built its empire on. This conversation cuts straight into the heart of the Texas-Georgia rivalry: is Texas ready to be a true SEC monster, or is there still a gap between looking the part and living it every Saturday? Mansell breaks down the difference between athleticism and physicality, between being dangerous and being proven, and between having bark and having bite. For Texas, the challenge is no longer getting noticed. The challenge is beating the standard.
