Rankings from AP Poll
The 2007 Texas Longhorns football team (variously "Texas" or "UT" or the "Horns") represented the University of Texas at Austin in the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was coached by Mack Brown. The Longhorns played their home games in Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium (DKR).
The Longhorns entered the 2007 season ranked third on all-time college football lists in both total wins and winning percentage.[1] A pre-season ranking by ESPN writer Mark Schlabach had the Longhorns ranked eighth,[2] while College Football News ranked Texas third.[3] The Longhorns came into the season ranked fourth in both the Coaches Poll[4] and AP Poll.[5] During the preceding summer five players had been disciplined for legal infractions, another suspended for NCAA rule violations, and a coach had undergone surgery for cancer.[6] Additional players were suspended during the season.[7]
The Longhorns played games against two opponents they had never faced previously: Arkansas State University and the University of Central Florida (UCF).[8] The Longhorns narrowly achieved a victory in their home opener with Arkansas State,[9][10][11] and in their first road game of the season, Texas was the inaugural opponent for the UCF Knights in their new stadium.[12] In preseason speculation, games against Texas Christian University (TCU) and Oklahoma (OU) were considered among the top 20 games to watch during the 2007 college football season.[13]
The 2007 Longhorns take the field on opening day against Arkansas State.
The Longhorns lost conference games to the Kansas State Wildcats,[14] the Oklahoma Sooners,[15] and the Texas A&M Aggies.[16] In two close games, they avoided upset attempts by lower-ranked Nebraska and Oklahoma State, the latter game involving a 21-point fourth quarter comeback by the Horns.[17] Texas concluded its season by winning the 2007 Holiday Bowl against the Arizona State Sun Devils—another first-time opponent for Texas—bringing their season record to 10–3.[18]
The Horns finished the season ranked tenth in the AP poll[19] and in the USA Today coaches poll.[20] After the season, five UT players entered professional football through the 2008 NFL Draft[21] and four others agreed to sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams.[22]
