The 1893 Texas Longhorns football team represented the University of Texas at Austin in the 1893 college football season. In Texas' first year of playing college football, they went undefeated, pulling off an upset over a Dallas football club.[1]
The team, like all other college football teams at the time, operated under the one-platoon system which did not include separate offensive and defensive units. All players had the letter number 1.
