The last time Texas started 1-3?
1956.
In what would be Ed Price's last season as the Texas head coach, they lost their first game to #15 USC in Austin, 20-44... won their next game at Tulane, 7-6... and then lost every single game after that, including being shutout against Oklahoma, 45-0.
Yes... that's right... the last time the Texas Longhorns started the season 1-3 was in 1956. Let that sink in for a second.
In 1993, they started 1-2-1, then lost their next one to make it 1-3-1 (finished 5-5-1 in John Mackovic's 2nd season as head coach)... but the last time they started a true 1-3 was in 1956.
