Sunday Thoughts: Longhorns experience groundhog day all over again

Looking at what we can take away from Saturday’s reality check.

We’re through Week 4 of the 2022 college football season but it feels like we have lived through this story before.

Texas started the season strong, playing above their weight class against Alabama. Now they have two losses before Red River and have endured a downward spiral since the injury to Quinn Ewers.

Hudson Card has acquitted himself well since Ewers went down, and isn’t the reason for the Longhorns’ struggles. Unfortunately, he’s not the solution either.

While the offense has struggled since the Alabama game, the defense has been even worse. Texas dominated the Alabama offensive line, but has since been picked apart by UTSA and Texas Tech. And, frankly, it does not seem to be the players’ fault.

Let’s look at what we learned from Saturday’s upset loss in Lubbock.
