The Texas Longhorns have had a dominant start to the season. The Horns are 5-0 and the closest margin of victory was by 19 points at Michigan. That game was only that close thanks to a garbage time touchdown by the Wolverines.
Texas beat Colorado State by 52 points, UTSA by 49 points, ULM by 48 points and shook off a stubborn Mississippi State team to win by 22.
In fact, maybe the most telling stat of UT dominance is the fact Texas has not trailed in any game so far. Not one single second.
The Longhorns are one of only four teams across the nation that haven’t trailed yet. Texas has been leading in a game 84.9% of the time and has been tied for 15.1%. Of course, the teams are tied at the beginning of the game.
The other schools on the list are the Tennessee Volunteers, the Indiana Hoosiers and the Army Black Knights. Aside from Texas, the other three teams are surprising this deep into the season.
Only 4 teams have not trailed in a game this season. The percentage of their games they've led & been tied:
Team Leading Tied
Army 88% 12%
Tennessee 85.5% 14.5%
Texas 84.9% 15.1%
Indiana 82.7% 17.3%— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) October 2, 2024
Texas will try to keep the streak alive on Oct. 12 in the Cotton Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners in Red River.
