Coming into the 2025 season there were plenty of questions about how the No. 11 Texas Longhorns (16-1, 2-0) would look in their first season under Jim Schlossnagle. It was also their first season in the SEC.

Well, it is safe to say that so far the Longhorns have certainly handled the transition to their new conference extremely well. Their first series in conference play has gotten off to an incredible start, as they took the first two games over the Mississippi State Bulldogs (13-6, 0-2).

Both games have been tense, thrilling affairs with the Longhorns taking the opener 8-7 and game two 5-3. Max Belyeu played the role of hero in the second game, blasting a go-ahead, two-run blast in the top of the seventh that propelled Texas to its 16th straight win.

Now, the Longhorns look to keep the momentum rolling and start their first year in the SEC 3-0 in conference play and push the winning streak to 17 straight games.
