After reaching the College Football Playoff last season, the Texas Longhorns certainly look like a championship contender this fall.

Ranked No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, Texas is off to a 5-0 start this season. Behind the play of quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, the UT offense is averaging 45 points per game. The Longhorns have allowed just three touchdowns and 35 total points. Texas did not trail at any point of its games against Colorado State, Michigan, UTSA, Louisiana-Monroe and Mississippi State.
