Over the last 130 years of Texas Longhorn football, the team has had 108 winning seasons. Throughout 122 total seasons, the Horns have never lost to an astonishing 32 teams.

While playing against the 32 opponents who have failed to take Texas down, the Longhorns have a 72-0-1 record.

From the Darrell K. Royal era to Mack Brown’s tenure and currently under Steve Sarkisian’s reign, Texas has become and maintained a perennial program.

With an overall record of 948-392-33 in program history, which FBS teams have never been able to beat the Texas Longhorns?

Texas is about to storm into Ann Arbor for the second-ever matchup between the two teams.

Less than two decades ago, the Wolverines and Horns shared a field when legendary Vince Young helped Texas defeat Michigan.

The Longhorns were inching toward their National Championship win against USC and the Wolverines wouldn't stand in their way. Texas walked away with a 38-37 win over Michigan.

The Horns and Wolverines will play on Sept. 7, 2024 at 11 a.m. CT.

Texas is preparing to make the powerhouse conference its new home. As the Horns head to the SEC, there are just two opponents that the team has yet to lose to.

The last time the Longhorns played either the Kentucky Wildcats or Florida Gators was more than 70 years ago but the matchups are set to start again.

Texas is scheduled to play against Kentucky on Nov. 23 of this season after facing Florida just two weeks earlier.

The Longhorns demolished UL-Monroe when Texas hosted the Warhawks in 2022. The two teams are scheduled to face each other again at the beginning of the 2024 season.

Against Arkansas State, the Horns eked out a 21-13 win in 2007. The two teams are scheduled to play against one another in the foreseeable future so Texas will get to boast its undefeated streak for a while longer.
