AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — When Texas hosted a football recruiting weekend last summer, prospective players walked a burnt orange carpet flanked by nearly a dozen Lamborghinis with engines revving and growling and music blaring.

It was an homage to coach Steve Sarkisian’s motto since he arrived four years ago — “All gas, no brakes” — and what the program hopes to be able to deliver in the new era of excess in college football: substance with style.

Following a slow ramp-up that nearly ran off the road when Sarkisian started, Texas has hit full speed.

After winning last season’s Big 12 title in the program’s final season in that league and making the College Football Playoff for the first time, Texas entered this season ranked No. 3 in the AP Top 25. By Week 3, the Longhorns were No. 1 for the first time in 16 years. Their long-awaited Southeastern Conference debut was a smashing success, led by backup quarterback Arch Manning, the scion of one of America’s most famous football families.

Texas, which returned to No. 1 on Sunday, is 5-0 and heading into its Oct. 12 rivalry game with Oklahoma in Dallas. And from the Lamborghinis in June to the “TexCalibur” turnover sword that debuted on the sideline this year, these Longhorns are fully enjoying the program’s rejuvenation.

“I love that our personality is coming out of this team. I think we’ve got a pretty cool swagger about us right now,” Sarkisian said before Texas beat Mississippi State 35-13 to earn the program’s first SEC victory. “But that swagger has been earned.”

AUSTIN, Texas — The highly anticipated Austin Film Festival is returning to town this month, and they’ve just unveiled the lineup of films premiering during the eight-day event.

The festival will take over downtown Austin Oct. 24-31.

Barbara Morgan, the co-founder and executive director of the festival, told Spectrum News 1, “We’re particularly excited about our world premieres this year with Texas connections, films made in Texas and by Texans, and how exciting that there are so many creatives here making their own work. The indie filmmaking spirit is alive and well in this state, and Austin Film Festival is proud to be able to champion these stories.”

Some of the films to be on the lookout for this year include: Justin Kurzel’s “The Order,” Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist,” Tim Fehlbaum’s “September 5” and Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut, “A Real Pain”.
