Texas Longhorns 2026 Season Kickoff: Arch Manning Leads Charge Against Texas State, Ohio State, and UTSA The Texas Longhorns are gearing up for the 2026 season, with their sights set on a national championship. Their journey begins with a matchup against Texas State, followed by a significant game against Ohio State in week two. The teams crucial third game against UTSA is pivotal, as SEC play commences right after. Quarterback Arch Manning, a top prospect, is expected to shine in his second year leading the team. Despite facing a formidable UTSA secondary, Manning boasts a talented receiver group and a robust running back duo. On the opposing side, UTSAs quarterback, Owen McCown, brings experience to the table with his fifth year of college football. The Longhorns pass rush, led by Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson, and Brad Spence, will need to step up to pressure McCown and disrupt the Roadrunners offense. The Longhorns defense must apply pressure to force mistakes from McCown and the UTSA offense. If the team can successfully navigate these early games, theyll be well-positioned to meet their championship aspirations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
