Texas Longhorns

Nothing stings Texas like losing to Oklahoma. And last Saturday carried with it the double whammy that the No. 15 Longhorns likely have no shot at the College Football Playoff.

Jalen Hurts threw three touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma's defense sacked Sam Ehlinger nine times and the No. 6 Sooners never trailed in a 34-27 victory over 11th-ranked Texas on Saturday.

College football fans are gearing up for the big AT&T Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma.

The Texas Longhorns will play the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday for the 115th game in a legendary college football rivalry.

Sam Ehlinger threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores while No. 11 Texas converted three turnovers into TDs in a 42-31 victory over West Virginia on Saturday.

West Virginia coach Neal Brown is well versed on his offense's struggles to make impressive plays downfield.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sam Ehlinger did what he usually does: throw for a bunch of touchdowns and deliver big runs. Put him together with more games like this from the Texas defense, and the Longhorns will go far in the Big 12 this season.

Texas will do anything it can to end a four-game losing streak in a Big 12 rivalry that has become a yoke on the Longhorns' league title hopes.

Texas coach Tom Herman wanted to see his team put last week's loss behind them and start fast Saturday night.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The chase was on for Tom Herman. In late 2016, Texas and LSU were both eyeing the young hotshot coach from Houston until a wild Thanksgiving weekend that included a Tigers win, a Longhorns loss and leaked details of contract negotiations swung Herman to Texas and pushed LSU to elevate interim coach Ed Orgeron to the top job in Baton Rouge.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - It took three years to get there, but Texas is finally 1-0 under coach Tom Herman.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas coach Tom Herman has a problem at running back: He is having a hard time keeping them healthy. The No. 10 Longhorns head into their season-opener this week against Louisiana Tech with only two scholarship running backs available in sophomore Keaontay Ingram and Jordan Whittington. And while both are expected to be the top players in the group, they have been banged up...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Former NFL and Texas running back Cedric Benson, one of the most prolific rushers in NCAA and University of Texas history, has died in a motorcycle accident in Texas.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Tom Herman knows that Texas is probably a bit ahead of schedule after 10 wins in his second season that included making the Big 12 championship game and a Sugar Bowl victory. That doesn't necessarily mean the Longhorns are back just yet. "We weren't here to just have a really good season in Year 2," Herman said Tuesday. "We were here to rebuild...
