The Longhorns were led by 16th-year head coach Mack Brown and played their home games at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium (DKR). The team was also coached by offensive coordinators Major Applewhite and Darrell Wyatt, as well as defensive coordinator Greg Robinson; Manny Diaz was defensive coordinator to begin the season but was fired following the team's second game against Brigham Young (BYU). The season began with a win at home against New Mexico State on August 31. However, this was followed by back-to-back blowout losses against out-of-conference opponents BYU and Ole Miss; as such Texas' off-conference record was 1–2. Texas later won their conference opener against Kansas State, resulting in the Longhorns' first win against the Wildcats since 2003. Texas would later go on to attain a five-game winning streak, including a win against No. 10 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry.All rankings are based on the Coaches' Poll unless otherwise noted. nb The Texas Longhorns ended the season with an 8–4 overall win–loss record and a 7–2 conference record. Despite entering the season ranked No. 15, the Longhorns dropped out of the Coaches' and AP Polls. After the regular season, Jackson Jeffcoat was awarded the Ted Hendricks Award as college football's top defensive end. The season ended with a 30–7 loss to Oregon in the Alamo Bowl.Oregon Cruises Past Texas in Mack's Swansong, 30–7 Richard Tijerina http://www.statesman.com/weblogs/bevo-beat/2013/dec/30/texas-vs-oregon-kickoff/ Austin American-Statesman December 30, 2013 December 30, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131231185913/http://www.statesman.com/weblogs/bevo-beat/2013/dec/30/texas-vs-oregon-kickoff/ December 31, 2013 dead mdy-all This was the final game that Mack Brown would coach the Longhorns, as he announced that he would resign from his position following the bowl game on December 14, 2013.Texas' Mack Brown Resigns After 16 Seasons as Longhorns Head Coach Brian Davis http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/after-16-seasons-texas-mack-brown-resigns/ncLNk/ Austin American-Statesman December 14, 2013 December 30, 2013 Preseason Spring game November 2013 Recruiting Position key BackBCenterCCornerbackCBDefensive backDBDefensive endDEDefensive linemanDLDefensive tackleDTEndEFullbackFBGuardOGHalfbackHBKickerKKickoff returnerKROffensive tackleOTOffensive linemanOLLinebackerLBLong snapperLSPunterPPunt returnerPRQuarterbackQBRunning backRBSafetySTight endTEWide receiverWR Recruits yes no 2013 Chevoski Collins WR Livingston, Texas Livingston H.S. 6 0 187 4.5 October 8, 2012 3 3 82 Antwuan Davis CB Bastrop, Texas Bastrop H.S. 6 0 177 4.4 May 4, 2012 4 4 83 Deoundrei Davis OLB Cypress, Texas Cypress Woods High School 6 2 210 – February 26, 2012 4 4 83 Rami Hammad OG Irving, Texas Irving H.S. 6 5 315 5.5 January 23, 2013 4 4 79 Desmond Harrison OT San Pablo, California Contra Costa College 6 8 312 – January 21, 2013 3 3 79 Naashon Hughes OLB Killeen, Texas Harker Heights H.S. 6 4 212 – February 28, 2012 3 3 78 yes 2013 Texas Football Commitments 2013 Texas Football Commits ESPN texas 110 251 23 24 16 July 1, 2013 Schedule 2013 AP Poll released prior to game Central August 31 7:00 p.m. w y 15 New Mexico State Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium Austin, TX LHN 56–7 99,623 September 7 6:00 p.m. l y y 15 BYU LaVell Edwards Stadium Provo, UT ESPN2/LHN 21–40 63,197 September 14 7:00 p.m. l y Ole Miss 25 Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium Austin, TX LHN 23–44 101,474 September 21 7:00 p.m. w Kansas State Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium Austin, TX ABC 31–21 95,248 October 3 6:30 p.m. w y Iowa State Jack Trice Stadium Ames, IA ESPN 31–30 52,762 October 12 11:00 a.m. w y Oklahoma 12 Red River Rivalry Cotton Bowl Dallas, TX ABC 36–20 92,500 October 26 6:30 p.m. w y TCU rivalry Amon G.
