Schedule Challenges: Derek Stingley Jr. is still a Tiger
Amidst all the turnover in Tigerland, one important piece returns for his sophomore season: Derek Stingley Jr.
One-on-one with UT target Garrett Nussmeier
For the Class of 2021, Texas needs two quarterbacks. With Katy Tompkins four-star Jalen Milroe pledged to the Horns, the search for the second take is under way. One guy to know is the Flower Mound Marcus signal-caller.

Congrats to the LSU Tigers. That's a great football team.
Inside UT’s 19-play scoring drive
Trailing 20-7 with over 14 minutes left in the third, Texas needed to take advantage of the stop its defense provided to begin the second half.
Scipio Tex: LSU Postmortem – defense
The final butcher's bill was long and bloody. I'll hit a few lowlights beyond 45 points surrendered at home before a raucous Texas crowd. The larger context of that is important.
5 Quick Thoughts: Texas loses a spread shootout to LSU
Texas gave that game to LSU. There's no question that LSU played outstanding football, clearly hiring assistant offensive coach Joe Brady was a great decision and he was able to join forces with Joe Burrow and Steven Ensminger to build a phenomenal spread passing attack. The Tigers came in and won that game with a great effort and a truly potent offensive system.

Inside the Gameplan: Setting a Tiger trap
LSU’s visit to Austin will probably go down as the biggest national game that Texas has played under Tom Herman to date, aside from the 2018 battles with Oklahoma. For better or worse, Texas and Oklahoma will always be the ultimate measure of each other, but this LSU team represents a different sort of challenge. There's no ignoring the “SEC!!!” angle, which adds a few different important dimensions to this game. The first is the impact on Texas' reputation on the recruiting scene. A win in this game is a win on the recruiting trail against the “Texas doesn’t send players to the NFL” club that regional rivals love to throw at the Longhorns as well as the "come to the SEC and play the best" mythos.
Scipio Tex: LSU Tigers Preview
The LSU Tigers obliterated Georgia Southern 55-3 while debuting the Purry Up Offense installed by new passing game coordinator Joe Brady (a former Joe Moorhead and Sean Payton acolyte). QB Joe Burrow threw five touchdowns on 23 of 27 passing and LSU scored touchdowns on their first five possessions. 14 different Tigers caught a pass. LSU running a hurry up, RPO, shotgun spread offense is kind of amazing.
Before they were foes on the field, they competed for Texas and Louisiana talent
With recruiting in very good shape for both the 2020 and 2021 class, let's saunter down memory lane and take a look at the two competing rosters where they battled it out for recruits, or at least crossed into the other's primary territory.
