The 1990 Longhorns bounced back after consecutive losing seasons with a 10–1 record in the regular season. Fueled by what became known as the "Shock the Nation" tour, Texas won the SWC championship, with the only loss in the regular season coming at the hands of eventual national champion, Colorado. Texas defeated No. 21 Penn State to open the season and bested their historic rivals, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas A&M. The Longhorns entered the Cotton Bowl Classic ranked third in the AP Poll, but lost handily to Miami, 46–3.
