Led by third-year head coach John Mackovic, the Longhorns compiled an overall record of 8–4 with a mark of 4–3 in conference play, placing in a five-way tie for second in the SWC. Texas A&M, which finished with the best record of any team in the SWC play at 6–0–1, was ineligible for the conference title due to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sanctions. Thus, Texas shared the SWC title with the other four second-place finishers: Baylor, Rice, TCU, and Texas Tech. The Longhorns were invited to the Sun Bowl, where they defeated North Carolina. The team played home games at Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas. Texas lost to Rice in October October 16, having previously beaten the Owls 28 straight times in the Rice–Texas football rivalry, dating back to 1965. This remains the last time Longhorns have lost to Rice through the 2024 season. Texas did not close the regular season with its traditional rivalry game against Texas A&M, due to the sanctions against the Aggies, which also banned them from appearing on television. The Longhorns instead played the regular season finale against Baylor in a nationally televised game on Thanksgiving, having played Texas A&M three weeks earlier.
