The Texas Longhorns had an opportunity to take hold of their fate with a win over Texas Christian. After losing 33-31, the Locked on Longhorns Podcast discusses a frustrating game on Saturday. In the first segment, the topic of the offense. Who stood out on that side of the ball? Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had one of his worse games, not quite last year against TCU bad. So what is going on with the offense? Why didn’t Bijan Robinson get on the field?
In segment two it is all about the defense. The team looked different after Juwan Mitchell was ejected for targeting. It showed the lack of depth at the linebacker spot. One that needs to be corrected quickly with Oklahoma looming on Saturday. DeMarvion Overshown once again led the team in missed tackles. When will they get this fixed?
We discussed the Red River Shootout in the final segment. Is this a must win game for both teams. The Longhorns are 2-1 (1-1) and the Sooners are 1-2 (0-2), so who needs this game more? What will winning this game do for Tom Herman amongst the fanbase and locker room? We break it all down on this Monday edition.
