Texas endured a frustrating 17-10 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. Multiple players and coaches underperformed. Despite it all, the Longhorns have plenty to play for moving forward.
There shouldn’t be any doubt how significant the next two wins would be for the program. There’s a vast difference in not making a bowl last season and winning six games so far. However, the step up from 6 wins to 8 wins would be as important if not more.
Steve Sarkisian’s team will face Kansas and Baylor to end the season. Kansas got steamrolled in Lubbock 43-28 last week. Baylor last no-showed against Kansas State in a 31-3 home loss.
Without question, the Longhorns should win the next two games. Let’s look at what a successful season looks like moving forward.
