{{{year}}} [[{{{team}}} football]]

The 1965 Texas Longhorns football team represented the University of Texas at Austin in the 1965 college football season.

Regular season

Tommy Nobis was in his final year at Texas[1] and was known an iron man, playing (and starting) on both defense and offense for his entire college career. Aside from being an All-American linebacker, he also played guard on the offensive side of the ball[1] and was often the primary blocker on touchdown runs. Famed Texas coach Darrell K. Royal called him "the finest two-way player I have ever seen." A knee injury slowed him during the latter part of his senior season[2], but he still was able to perform at a high level and won a number of major individual awards including the Knute Rockne Award, best lineman, the Outland Trophy, best interior lineman, and the Maxwell Award for college football’s best player. Nobis also finished seventh in the Heisman voting to USC’s Mike Garrett. He appeared on the covers of LIFE, Sports Illustrated and TIME magazines.

The Longhorns finished the regular season with a 6-4-0 record.
