The 1947 Texas Longhorns football team was an American football team that represented the University of Texas as a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1947 college football season. In its first season under head coach Blair Cherry, the team compiled a 10–1 record (5–1 against SWC opponents), won the SWC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 292 to 74. The team lost to SMU and defeated Alabama in the 1948 Sugar Bowl.[1]
Bobby Layne was a consensus selection as the quarterback for the 1947 College Football All-America Team.[2] He also finished sixth in the 1947 voting for the Heisman Trophy.[3] Tackle Richard Harris was also selected as a first-team All-American by the Associated Press (AP).[4]
Three Texas players were selected by the AP as first-team honorees on the 1947 All-Southwest Conference football team: Layne at quarterback; Harris at tackle; and Max Bumgardner at end.[5]
