Summary

No. 9 ranked Texas has started the season off with a 2-0 record for the first time under fourth-year head coach Tom Herman after the Longhorns faced a humbling experience in Lubbock against Texas Tech, which ended with Texas barely sneaking by the Red Raiders in the 63-56 overtime win. Texas showed some sloppy play against Texas Tech last weekend, and needs to correct it quickly as TCU prepares to make the trip to Austin for Saturday's 11 a.m. kickoff against the Longhorns. On today's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes open the show with their thoughts on what the Longhorns need to take improve upon as they prepare to face TCU at home Saturday. While Texas opened the week as a double-digit favorite over the Horned Frogs, there's no denying how much the Longhorns have struggled when facing TCU in recent history. Texas has dropped five of the last six meetings to the Horned Frogs and is 2-6 all-time against Gary Patterson's team since TCU joined the Big 12 in 2012. Chip and Taylor discuss the concerns shown on defense and on the offensive line against Tech and how Texas can utilize the return of Jake Smith as an added weapon against a Horned Frog defense that is expected to be among the better units in the Big 12 this season. Chip and Taylor then bring in the weekly 'Love it or Leave it' segment, with this week's topics including how heavy rotation in the secondary impacted the Longhorns against the Red Raiders, Sam Ehlinger seeking revenge after last year's embarrassing showing in the road loss to TCU, if Oklahoma is on upset watch yet again and more! Catch all of that and more on The Flagship Podcast. The Flagship Podcast — featuring co-hosts, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes — hits the airwaves twice every week, and centers around all the latest happenings surrounding the University of Texas and college athletics, with big-name guests joining the show on a weekly basis.

0:00.0	Welcome in everybody to another episode of the flagship podcast.
0:11.3	I am Chip Brown, joined by our fearless leader, the managing editor of Horns 24-7,
0:18.0	the one and only Taylor Estes.
0:25.4	Taylor, how you doing? Oh, Chip, I'm doing just fine, I think, is a good way to put it. You know, we had a little bit of a scary work weekend,
0:31.9	you know, just kind of imagining what type of fallout on our message board would come if Texas did lose on the road to Texas Tech.
0:40.2	But the good news is the Longhorns pulled it out.
0:42.8	So I'm doing okay.
0:44.6	I'm doing okay.
0:45.2	How about you?
0:46.5	Thank you, Sam Ellinger, because we would still be probably cleaning up the food fight that would be happening over on the flagship message
0:55.4	board at horns 24-7, as is typically the case when your team loses when they're an 18-point favorite,
1:03.2	but Taylor against all odds, and I asked you before we started recording this episode of the
1:10.4	flagship podcast, what you
1:11.8	would compare Texas winning after being down by 15 with three minutes and 13 seconds left to play,
1:22.3	and Sam Allinger going 10 of 11 passing from that point on with touchdown passes to Brennan Eagles,
1:30.8	Josh Moore, a two-point conversion pass to Brennan Eagles and a perfectly executed onside kick
1:36.3	by Cameron Dicker recovered by Malcolm Epps. I would say it's equivalent to winning some form of lottery.
1:44.7	Either it's a scratch-off ticket or something.
1:49.2	I don't know that it's the power ball,
1:51.0	but it was a pretty good-sized scratch-off ticket, I think, Taylor,
1:55.1	because I know I was writing a story talking about
1:58.6	how you could put the Texas season in the disappointment
