Just when we thought that the losing streak would finally end, the Longhorns lost at home to a 1-8 Kansas team.
The first season under Steve Sarkisian has seen plenty of record-breaking moments, but mostly in a bad way. A team that many thought were a better coaching staff away from making some noise at the national level has shown us that maybe Tom Herman was doing the lord’s work, or he could not have gotten fired at a better time.
Going down the line, there are issues at literally every position for Texas. It seems more and more apparent that the quarterback of the future is not on this roster, as they both had two turnovers in the loss, and neither have been a model of consistency.
The wide receiver group is depleted, and outside of Xavier Worthy, they struggle with every aspect of the position. The offensive line may be one of the worst in all of college football, and the defensive line cannot generate any pressure.
This team went from not being able to close out a game after building a lead, to just not being able to play any sort of decent football. They should not have had to take Kansas to overtime to win, but to make matters worse they lost.
While it is way too premature, many people are putting Steve Sarkisian on the hot seat after Texas’ fifth consecutive loss. The first-year head coach had a lot to say after the shocking loss.
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said he wanted to give Kansas credit. Said they came to play.
