ANTHONY COOK

Texas believes it’s a tougher, more resilient team that last season — and the Longhorns are showing it so far this fall.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene -- and a glimpse at what’s to come next week.

Will Reichard kicked a 33-yard field goal with 10 seconds left, and No. 1 Alabama overcame a stifling defensive effort by Texas to earn a hard-fought 20-19 victory.

Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler was a preseason Associated Press first-team All-American.

Bijan Robinson ran for a career-high 216 yards with two go-ahead touchdowns and Texas beat TCU 32-27.

AUSTIN, Texas The Texas Longhorns secondary may look a little different next season after Anthony Cook tweeted, then deleted, his intention to leave the program at the University of Texas. Cook, a defensive back, made the announcement via Twitter. In a since-deleted tweet, Cook wrote: Due to unfortunate situations I will not be playing another snap for the University of Texas. Sports Illustrated found two tweets from Cooks teammates that suggest he might not really be leaving the program. Josh Thompson (@given__talent) June 12, 2020Nahhh fr chillax yall .....
