On Texas Football

Jeff Howe, Rod Babers, Marcus Myers, CJ Vogel, Hank South and Jordan Scruggs debate whether Colin Simmons is already the greatest defensive player in Texas football history. After a historic 5.5-sack performance against Tennessee, Simmons now has 28.5 career sacks in only 31 games—production that places him alongside Longhorn legends such as Derrick Johnson, Casey Hampton, Brian Orakpo, Tommy Nobis and Earl Thomas.

The panel examines Simmons’ unmatched first-step explosion, natural bend and ability to dominate despite every opponent building its protection plan around him. With a potential 15-sack season putting him on pace to become Texas’ second-leading career sack artist in just three years, has Simmons already reached the Longhorns’ defensive Mount Rushmore—or does he still have work to do?

Bobby Burton and Rod Babers evaluate whether Texas’ dominant defense is already capable of carrying the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff and a national championship. Will Muschamp’s unit has produced a signature performance every week, from shutting down Ohio State and Texas State to holding UTSA without a touchdown and recording 10 sacks at Tennessee. But without more help from the offense, could the defense eventually break against the SEC’s most explosive teams?
The guys also preview a loaded bye-week slate featuring Alabama–Mississippi State, Florida–Missouri, Tennessee–Auburn and Texas A&M–Arkansas. Plus, they examine three massive national point spreads involving Ohio State at Iowa, Notre Dame at North Carolina and Miami at Clemson—and debate whether the oddsmakers are disrespecting some of college football’s proudest programs.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel break down four plays that reveal how Texas can protect Arch Manning and punish defenses for blitzing. From quick throws to Jermaine Bishop and Derrek Cooper to a one-on-one shot for Cam Coleman and Emmett Mosley’s motion creating space for Ryan Wingo, the Longhorns already possess answers capable of keeping the offense ahead of the chains.
The urgency is growing with Brent Venables and Oklahoma approaching. Manning’s pressure-to-sack rate has climbed from 13.3 percent last season to 23.3 percent in 2026—and reached a troubling 43 percent against Tennessee. Can Steve Sarkisian build more hot routes and quick decisions into the offense before the Sooners unleash another wave of pressure?
