Happy Monday, where the humiliation of Texas’ 40-21 loss to Arkansas is still lingering. A lot went wrong in game No. 2 of the Steve Sarkisian era and a lot is left to be desired.
“At the end of the day, I think our team is a gritty team,” Sarkisian said during his press conference. “I think they played hard. We didn’t play great Saturday night. We played hard. We didn’t do things right.”
Not only was the execution poor but the coaching staff did not seem to have the team ready for the moment. Arkansas came out of the tunnel and was ready to embrace the moment. Texas never seemed comfortable, even in the latter stages.
With a lot of poor performances, the Longhorns will have to do some reflection before facing Rice. At the same time, looking for some positive outcomes never hurts.
Here are the studs and duds from Texas’ loss to Arkansas.
