Summary
- Texas aims for a national championship, not just an SEC title.
- Player Ryan Wingo stresses taking games one day at a time.
- Longhorns face a tough 2026 schedule including Ohio State.
The Texas Longhorns are gearing up for the 2026 college football season with championship aspirations. Quarterback Arch Manning enters his second year, leading a talented roster and facing immense pressure to deliver an SEC championship or a national title.

Despite the tough path, Wingo expressed confidence in the roster's depth and competitive spirit to achieve success.
