Texas Longhorns vs Sam Houston State

C’mon down and watch UT Football on the big-screen at Poodies.

Texas, led by head coach Steve Sarkisian, is entering the season ranked No. 1 nationally and is navigating a challenging schedule with only two home games between September 20 and November 1.

Sam Houston State, under new head coach Phil Longo, plays its 2025 home games at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston due to Bowers Stadium undergoing renovations.

This matchup pits a returning national title hopeful against a resurgent Bearkats team, transitioning under new leadership and infrastructure. The atmosphere is expected to be electric as Texas continues its quest for postseason glory, while Sam Houston looks to sharpen its identity under Coach Longo.
