The Texas Longhorns finished the season with a strong win over a good Baylor team on Friday. The game lifted the Longhorns to an 8-4 season, showing progress after last year’s campaign.
While the positive program trajectory is noteworthy, there’s still plenty to unpack for the remainder of the 2022 season.
Saturday wasn’t as kind to the Longhorns who still had an outside chance at a conference championship appearance.
Steve Sarkisian and company needed the Kansas Jayhawks to upset the Kansas State Wildcats to help Texas into the championship game. Kansas couldn’t get the job done.
The Longhorns’ two main rivals played on Saturday night. The lesser of the two, Texas A&M, pulled off the upset of the century against LSU. That is, if they weren’t on the losing end of the biggest upset earlier this year.
On a more positive note, the Longhorns’ chief rival bit the dust on the night. Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech, 51-48 in overtime. Let’s determine what to make of the weekend.
