The Longhorns are not in a situation that they thought they would find themselves in seven weeks into the season.
While I am sure a loss or two was to be expected with a new a staff and a ton of turnover, but the ways in which the games were lost have been heartbreaking. After being blown out by Arkansas, Texas went on a three-game win streak that looked like they were figuring it out with a change at quarterback.
Then came along the last two weeks, where Texas led both Oklahoma schools by double-digits at one point, yet wound up losing. In the three losses on the year, the strengths and weaknesses of this team have been made abundantly clear. It also explains why Steve Sarkisian’s staff is recruiting certain position groups harder than others.
As the Longhorns head into the bye week, I’ve compiled a progress report to highlight which position groups have done well, and also pinpoint the areas of struggle throughout the first seven games of the season using an “A-F” grading scale.
