· 2026-07-02
The Texas Longhorns kick off their 2026 season against the Texas State Bobcats on September 5, 2026.
Arch Manning has a lot of pressure on his shoulders to live up to the family name.
He might climb to be the No. 1 pick if he dominates, but struggles could lead to a different outcome.
The Longhorns face Oklahoma on October 10, a game that will be played on a neutral field.
The Tennessee Volunteers, who produced a Heisman finalist at quarterback in 2025, will host the Longhorns on September 26.
The Longhorns also face the Ohio State Buckeyes, a perennial powerhouse, in the second game of the season.
The Ole Miss Rebels will travel to meet the Longhorns on October 24, a potential NFL preview.
The Longhorns will also face the Texas A&M Aggies in their building on Friday, November 27.
The different schedule could throw off the offense after playing every previous game on Saturday.
The Longhorns appear to be in line for a playoff spot, but don't expect perfection with plenty of quality opponents.
The addition of Cam Coleman will add a new element to the offense, and a rebuilt running back room should produce the perfect safety valve for Manning.
The Longhorns have a tough schedule ahead, but with Arch Manning at quarterback, they are ready to take on the challenge.
The team's performance will depend on how well they can handle the pressure and come out on top in their big games.
