Very Sadly Texas women basketball head coach add three additional staff…
On January 1, 2024, in the College Football Playoff game versus Washington, quarterback Quinn Ewers tries to pass the ball.
Burnt orange and boot-clad fans crammed the stands of Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The midday game felt like the Texas summer heat. Texas football is trying to make history again.
These would be the standout moments in a trailer for the Longhorns’ season-opening game at home against Colorado State on August 31.
Earl Campbell, a Texas icon, was on the field and Darrell K. Royal was coaching from the sidelines during Texas’ one and only game against Colorado State.
The 46-0 victory in 1975, which took place at Memorial Stadium, which was then covered in artificial turf, marked the culmination of a strong effort by the Longhorns.
Campbell scored the game’s opening touchdown after carrying the ball 13 times for 103 yards. The remaining offensive players contributed as well, accumulating 320 yards and seven scores through rushes. In the meantime, the Texas defense recorded three sacks, five tackles for loss, and four interceptions of passes.
Both programs have undergone significant changes since this historic encounter.
Colorado State finished 5–7 last season, which was an improvement than their 3–9 record in 2022. Colorado State lost three games by a single score, and most of those were away games.
both the squad and the supporters are eager to break the bowl drought after their postseason debut.
“We have a big challenge coming up—we’re going to Texas (in Week 1),” CSU head coach Jay Norvell said in a DNVR interview. “I genuinely believe that our football squad is all about our team. Every week, we have to go out and perform the necessary actions to win football games.
With 13th-best passing yards per game the previous season, the Rams’ passing game was their offensive strength. Quinn Ewers, the sophomore quarterback for the Longhorns, was throwing for one yard more per game than rookie quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, which put them in 12th place.
Their running and defensive games did not fare as well, and Colorado State will probably continue to lack strength in these areas, especially with the departure of defensive lineman Mohamed Kamara to the Miami Dolphins in the 2024 NFL Draft.
During the offseason, CSU also lost eighteen players via the transfer portal, including two of its top three receivers from the previous campaign. With portal transfers, the Rams were able to find their replacements and achieve double digits.
In Texas, this year
