The Texas Longhorns took a brutal loss on Saturday. The offense played horribly.
It starts with quarterback play, which was abysmal on Saturday night. Quinn Ewers was off target for much of the night. Adding to his issues, Ewers couldn’t find the open man.
The big offensive miss involved Ewers not seeing Bijan Robinson running unabated to the end zone. Other than a strong effort from Jordan Whittington, his receivers didn’t do him any favors.
Xavier Worthy and Ja’Tavion Sanders dropped passes from the beginning of the game. Jahleel Billingsley added a drop of his own.
The Longhorns went away from the run with Bijan Robinson after laying a first half egg. Poor early play calling and critical drops put Texas in a hole. Ewers dug the hole deeper with clumsy football and inability to locate reads he couldn’t afford to miss.
All in all, Texas will look at the game as one it should have won and couldn’t capitalize.
Let’s discuss what it all means for Texas.
