BOLD Predictions for the 2026 CFB Season

The Longhorn Republic: Missouri Tigers Preview

As we continue our march toward the season, we continue our reverse-order previews and land on the Missouri Tigers. After meeting regularly in the Big 12, the two former foes met just one time in the last 10 years, a Texas Bowl win in two previous eras for both teams. The Longhorns are now in the SEC with a new coaching staff and the Tigers are building a lasting threat in the conference. What can we expect from the Tigers in 2026, with a refreshed core of players and a coaching staff looking to rework itself? Learn more about your ad choices.

The Longhorn Republic: What should we expect from Arch?

We begin our summer self-scouting with the man everyone can't help but talk about: Texas quarterback Arch Manning. It's undeniable that Manning started the 2025 campaign on a low note, struggling against Ohio State and playing well below expectations. However, as the season went on, and Texas figured out its offensive line, Manning's production shot up and he ended the season with two of his best games. Heading into what most assume is his final year in Austin, what is fair to expect from the former No. 1 quarterback? Learn more about your ad choices.
