About this episode

The episode previews the Texas Longhorns' new running backs, Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown, and their potential impact on the team's success.

The Texas Longhorns lost the top four running backs from last year's team, but have seemingly gone all-in on a pair of runners that they think can take them to the next level. The duo of Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown were two of the top RBs in the transfer portal, and seemingly come to Texas with hopes to increase their championship potential and NFL Draft stock. Can their explosive playmaking ability help get Texas over the hump?
