Season 8 of Tailgate Rivals linked up with Ryan and the Horn-Ball Texas Tailgaters. The show sends video crews to college tailgates across the country to sample the food, meet the people and pit them against each other.
The Longhorns
Texas is in Austin, and Steve Sarkisian is in his sixth season as head coach. As of Oct. 10, Texas was 4-0 and 1-0 in the SEC, ranked No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches polls: wins over Texas State 59-7, Ohio State 24-23, UTSA 30-6 and at Tennessee 20-17. The Longhorns' Oct. 10 date was the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl.
