Summary
Texas football got off to a solid start to Big 12 play in the Longhorns' 70-35 win over Texas Tech. The stout performance will need to continue in the coming weeks as Texas prepares for a gauntlet stretch of the 2021 schedule, which starts this weekend against TCU.
The Flagship Podcast starts off the week with a loaded show as Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in on the Longhorns' dominant win over the Red Raiders and look ahead to what Texas will face this weekend at TCU. The Flagship talks about the Horned Frogs' upset loss to SMU, particularly the questionable at best performance by the TCU defense, which allowed 350 yards rushing to the Mustangs.
Chip and Taylor discuss how Texas will likely see a far improved TCU team this week considering the Horned Frogs' success in preparing for Texas since joining the Big 12 and weigh in on ways the Longhorns can further expose this TCU defense with the continued production shown by Casey Thompson and the plethora of dominant running backs Texas has at its disposal, starting with Bijan Robinson.
The Flagship also weighs in on the Texas defense's performance to start Big 12 play and discuss some key areas of focus for the unit as the Longhorns make their way through conference play.
After a quick break, The Flagship returns with our 'Love it or leave it' segment, with this week's topics touching on the surprising performance by both the Texas offense and the TCU defense last week, how prepared this Horned Frogs' team will be when they take on the Longhorns Saturday and give some way-too-early odds for Texas' chances at being in a Big 12 title game after some of the top teams in the conference struggling early in the season.
Catch all of that and much more on The Flagship Podcast!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome in everybody to the flagship podcast. I am Chip Brown of Horns 24-7, joined as always by our |
| 0:17.9 | fearless leader, the managing editor at Horns 24-7, the one and only Taylor |
| 0:23.3 | Estes. Taylor, how are you doing? I am doing good chip, just, you know, getting ready for another |
| 0:29.8 | 11 a.m. kickoff for Texas, which is going to be the at least third or second of three straight |
| 0:35.0 | with Texas announced or Big 12 announcing texas so you will also be |
| 0:38.6 | in 11 o'clock but the focus now hopefully for texas too is on tCU how are you doing yeah how about |
| 0:45.2 | kegs and eggs for the horns and remember joel clatt came on the flagship podcast this summer |
| 0:50.8 | and i said when are you coming to austin He said, could be the Oklahoma State game. |
| 0:57.2 | And that would be four straight 11 a.m. kickoffs if that is indeed the case. |

| 1:21.0 | TCU. And this has been a nightmare game for Texas fans. |
| 1:27.8 | And I think Texas fans have been in a little bit of denial, Taylor, because I don't think they can bring themselves to acknowledge that TCU has won seven of the last nine meetings. Texas is two and seven against TCU since the hornfrogs |
| 1:50.8 | joined the big 12. And we talk all the time about how Gary Patterson makes this a holy war. |
| 2:00.4 | I mean, he is, he's out to get Texas every year. |
| 2:05.6 | It is a mission, not only of his, but he does a great job of conveying that mission to |
| 2:11.9 | his players. |
| 2:13.5 | And I'll never forget before the 2015 game, when he had several players out on defense, and he said, |
| 2:28.7 | we've beaten better teams with less right before they went out and pulverized Texas 50 to 7. So Gary Patterson is, |
| 2:42.4 | he makes it a mission every year to beat Texas and he's been pretty darn successful at doing it. |
| 2:50.7 | Yeah, he definitely has. |
