\u201cI hope we kick his ass,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cIt\u2019s the Red River Rivalry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Livingstone entered the portal at the conclusion of the 2025 season after catching 29 balls for 516 yards and six touchdowns. When he committed to the Sooners, he suggested he did not want to leave the Longhorns,<\/a> citing the \u201cever-changing landscape\u201d of college athletics.<\/p>\n

Texas quarterback Arch Manning<\/a> said in April he was surprised by Livingstone\u2019s move. While he would not do it himself, Manning nonetheless wished his former roommate best of luck \u2014 except for when they meet in Dallas Oct. 10 at the Cotton Bowl Stadium.<\/p>\n

This year is expected to be a big one for UT and Manning, who is an early Heisman Trophy favorite after passing for 3,163 yards and recording 36 total touchdowns. Dynamic transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman replaces the void left by Livingstone. Meanwhile, the Lovejoy High School product gives Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer another deep threat to do damage with.<\/p>\n

Sarkisian mentioned Livingstone, and others such as former receiver\u00a0DeAndre Moore, among “salary cap” cuts that had to be done to attract new talent. Texas brought in more than a half-dozen top transfers including wideout Cam Colema<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, it’s competition,” Sarkisian said. “After the game, I’m sure I’ll give (Livingstone) a big hug. Before that, we’re trying to beat his (expletive).”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI hope we kick his ass,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cIt\u2019s the Red River Rivalry.\u201d Livingstone entered the portal at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[261,1771,9330,46466,3232,27,29,537,536,28],"class_list":["post-384976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-college-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-division-i","tag-ncaa-transfer-portal","tag-sec-conference-football","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-football","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
