What a season it has been up to this point.
First, Texas was in danger to fall out of contention for the Big 12 title. Then, the Longhorns were in danger to shockingly fall below .500. Now, they’re in danger to miss a bowl game.
What else could go wrong?
After dropping five consecutive games, one being to a 1-8 Kansas squad at the time, the Longhorns have some soul searching to do. First-year head coach Steve Sarkisian has the full support of Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, and they continue to reiterate that this will be a long-term process that will require patience.
Consistency among the coaching staff and a revamped roster is certainly necessary, and Sarkisian has already stated that he hopes to bring in roughly 33 new scholarship players for next season. Aside from becoming bowl eligible, winning the remaining two games on the schedule would go a long way for recruiting purposes.
How confident is the Longhorns Wire staff that Texas can close out the season with wins over West Virginia and Kansas State in order to make a bowl game?
