Texans report card: Grading Houston's a 2-5 start. C.J. Stroud earns an A-, secondary gets an F+

The Houston Texans are 2-5 heading into their off week. Through seven weeks, there have been more lowlights than highlights. The Texans have underperformed this season, and there are a number of reasons why. In this midterm report, we're going to grade every group, including general manager Nick Caserio. We've based it solely on this season. Here were the grades from the performance: C.J. Stroud is off to the best seven-game start of his career, which is perfect timing as he's looking for a long-term contract. (Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle) C.J. Stroud is having the best season of his career through seven games. It's a shame that it has resulted in a 2-5 record. But that speaks to how poorly the other units have played. Stroud is fourth in the NFL with 1,867 passing yards. He has 11 touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown and just one interception, tied for the second-fewest in the…

Texas early voting rate is slightly behind 2018, when Beto O’Rourke challenged Ted Cruz

by Zach Leggio and Dan Keemahill, The Texas Tribune October 27, 2026 Nearly 4.5 million Texans cast a ballot in the first seven days of early voting — outpacing the turnout rate of the 2022 midterm election but slightly behind 2018, when Democrat Beto O’Rourke fell 2.6 points shy of toppling U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. From Oct. 19 through Sunday, 23.4% of registered Texas voters had cast a ballot or voted by mail, according to data from the Texas secretary of state. In 2018, the turnout was 24.3% in the first seven days of early voting. Derek Ryan, a Republican consultant and data analyst, expects the pace of early voting to increase this week, leading to a busy day at the polls on Friday, when the early voting period closes. Election Day is Nov. 3. “We could see anywhere between maybe 20 to 30% of the votes that get cast in this election get cast on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week,”…

Saving For Your First Home? Dallas Beats New York And LA

Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston have the shortest estimated timelines for saving the upfront costs of a starter home among the 10 largest metropolitan areas, according to an October 22 report. The Julian Bond Institute, a research initiative of the Center for Responsible Lending, estimates 12 years for Dallas and 11 for Houston, compared with 23 years in New York and 24 in Los Angeles. Its 2019 estimates were seven years for Dallas and eight for Houston. The report puts the national upfront savings target at $24,363 in 2026 for a 3.5% down payment and closing costs.

Sam Houston State vs. Missouri State prediction: Week 9 odds, picks, best bets

It may not be the most visible hot seat in college football, but the clock is ticking on Phil Longo’s tenure at Sam Houston State. Longo is 3-16 as head coach of the Bearkats. He did have a tough gig, replacing K.C. Keeler after a 10-win campaign in 2024, but it clearly isn’t working out for the New Jersey native in Huntsville. A win over Missouri State on Tuesday could give Longo some breathing room, but a loss could spell the end of his reign. Longo’s Bearkats are 6.5-point underdogs on the road. The most disappointing part of Longo’s stint at Sam Houston is that the offense has been dreadful. Known as a disciple of the Air Raid, and a sharp offensive mind, the thought was that, at the very least, the Bearkats would be able to score. Nobody was expected Sam Houston State to rock the world, but they were expected to be watchable. The opposite has happened. Sam Houston State is…
