Championship : Oklahoma 27 , Iowa State 21
$ – Conference champion y – Championship game participant AP Poll .
The 2020 Texas Longhorns football team represented the University of Texas at Austin during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Longhorns played their home games at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas . They are a charter member of the Big 12 Conference . They were led by fourth-year head coach Tom Herman .
The Longhorns finished their season with a 5-3 conference record in Big 12 play, and 7-3 overall, having had their final regular season game against Kansas cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols. They then went on to rout the 4-1 Colorado Buffaloes in a 32-point Alamo Bowl victory to finish as the No. 19 team in the nation.
However, despite this fourth-straight bowl win, Tom Herman was fired after four years as head coach. This followed a second consecutive season that fell short of expectations and included a narrow home loss to Iowa State that eliminated Texas from Big 12 championship contention in Week 13. Initial reports had linked former Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer to Herman's hot seat job in the months prior to his firing; yet, ultimately, the post went to Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian , who was named head coach on January 2, 2021, just hours after Herman's dismissal. Pass rusher Joseph Ossai was also named a consensus All-American.
Previous season [ ] The Longhorns finished the 2019 season with an 8–5 record, 5–4 in Big 12 play, upsetting No. 10 Utah 38–10 in the Alamo Bowl to end their season ranked No. 25 overall.
Offseason [ ] Coaching changes [ ] After being demoted from his role as offensive coordinator, Tim Beck was hired by NC State as offensive coordinator.[1] Todd Orlando and Craig Naivar, were fired, along with several other coaches.[2] Rutgers head coach Chris Ash and South Carolina linebackers coach Coleman Hutzler.[3]

Schedule [ ] Spring game [ ] The Longhorns held spring practices in March and April 2020. The Texas football spring game took place in Austin, Texas on April 25, 2020.
Regular season [ ] Texas released its 2020 schedule on October 22, 2019. The 2020 schedule consisted of 6 home games, 4 away games and 1 neutral-site game in the regular season. The Longhorns were scheduled to host 3 non-conference games, against South Florida , LSU , and UTEP . Texas was scheduled to host West Virginia, Baylor, TCU, and Iowa State, and Texas was scheduled to travel to Kansas State, Texas Tech, Kansas, and Oklahoma State in regular season conference play.[6]
On August 12, 2020, the Longhorns' revised schedule was released.[7] South Florida on September 5 and LSU on September 12 were both canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[8]
On November 18, 2020, the Big 12 Conference announced that the Texas–Kansas game would be rescheduled from November 21 to December 12 because of Kansas' "inability to meet the minimum position requirements established by the Big 12 Conference." A team needs 53 players to play a game, and there are also minimum numbers of players for each position group.[9] [10]
