The Texas Longhorns football team is the intercollegiate football team at The University of Texas in Austin, Texas. On November 27, 2008, the Longhorns passed Notre Dame as the second winningest college football team, having won 832 games to Notre Dame's 831. However, another source that takes into account all game forfeitures by NCAA teams has the Longhorns with 835 wins. They are ranked 2nd in all-time wins, one of only seven programs to have attained at least 800 all-time victories, ranked 3rd in all-time winning percentage (71.8%), ranked 2nd in number of bowl game appearances (25-21-2), and ranked 8th in number of games played (1182). The Longhorns have won four Division I-A national championships — in 1963, 1969, 1970, and 2005. Two Longhorn players have won the Heisman Trophy, college football's highest individual honor: Earl Campbell (1977) and Ricky Williams (1998). In 2008 the Texas Longhorn football program kept its record NFL Draft streak alive by having at least one player selected in 71 consecutive drafts dating back to 1938. As of 2008, ESPN ranked the Texas Longhorns the 7th most prestigious college football program since 1936. Texas football plays its home games at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, located on-campus in Austin. The current head coach of the team is Mack Brown, who is under contract through the 2016 season. When Brown retires, he will be succeeded by Will Muschamp, who was named coach-in-waiting in November 2008.
