Texas Longhorns

With the NCAA tournament just about a month away, teams are going to lean on their stars more than ever. Iowa State standouts Melvin Ejim, DeAndre Kane and Georges Niang showed why the Cyclones could be in great shape come March.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Charlie Strong will be introduced as the new head football coach at Texas during a news conference on Monday. It's a historic move for Strong, who becomes the first black head coach of a men's program at Texas.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Mack Brown's attorney says the Texas coach has not resigned, denying a report that Brown was ready to step down after 16 seasons with the Longhorns.

Case McCoy scored on a 1-yard plunge with 51 seconds left and Texas rallied to beat Iowa State 31-30 on Thursday night.

The Texas Longhorns paid tribute to former football coach Darrell Royal during their game against Iowa State on Saturday, running its first offensive play from the wishbone formation Royal introduced to major college football in 1968.

The Texas defense is in crisis. Players say they have no confidence in stopping the run, they struggle to line up correctly and openly wonder if everyone is playing hard every play.

Off to a 3-0 start and rising in the national rankings, the No. 12 Texas Longhorns are settling into an off week feeling surprisingly good about quarterback David Ash and a bit unnerved by the defense's habit of giving up of big plays for touchdowns.
