University of Texas Longhorns Football History

The Texas Longhorns are not only one of the most successful college football programs ever, they’re also central to the culture of the sport. The Longhorns have won four national championships, three of them under Darrell Royal, who was coach from 1957 to 1976. The most recent came in 2006 under coach Mack Brown, with quarterback Vince Young leading the way. That season ended with a Texas victory in the Rose Bowl over USC, in the most watched BCS game in history and regarded as one of the best college football games ever played. Many of the sport's all-time greats have played in Austin, among them the program’s two Heisman Trophy winners, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams, as well as quarterbacks Bobby Layne and Colt McCoy and defensive stars Steve McMichael and Derrick Johnson. Texas is joining the SEC conference in 2024.

Texas’s biggest rivals are the Oklahoma Sooners, and they have clashed annually and uninterrupted since 1929. The Red River Showdown pits the two teams against each other at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, as they compete for the Golden Hat Trophy.

You can also check out the pregame concert series called Longhorn City Limits, located on the LBJ Lawn at the northeast corner of the stadium.
