Would Texas fans be content with three losses in 2021?
There’s a new coaching staff in town, which typically brings growing pains throughout the first year. Although three losses is certainly not living up to the high Texas expectations, it could potentially be enough to secure a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. Reaching the Big 12 title game in Steve Sarkisian’s first year is certainly something to be proud of.
College Football News recently predicted how Texas’ 2021 college football season will play out. The Longhorns finished with a 9-3 overall record, which had them tied with Iowa State for the No. 2 spot in the Big 12. Unfortunately, since CFN predicted Iowa State to defeat Texas during the regular season, Matt Campbell’s squad owned the tiebreaker and advanced to the Big 12 title game.
However, that includes a loss to TCU at the beginning of October. If Texas is able to escape Fort Worth with a win, and assuming they defeat the lesser quality opponents that they’re supposed to, the Longhorns could find their way to the Big 12 title game against Oklahoma.
