Texas beat Ole Miss 34-27 on October 24, 2026, leading 24-3 at halftime before a strip sack sparked an Ole Miss comeback that fell short when a throw into the end zone went incomplete. Trevor Goosby, rated the number two offensive tackle in college football, suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and is out for the year; his replacement Andre Cojo gave up the strip sack that became an Ole Miss touchdown. Scouts had more second-round grades than first-round grades on Goosby before the injury. Colin Simmons and Cam Coleman are out for a while, and running back Hollywood Smothers also missed the Ole Miss game, widening the injury questions around the team.
