Breaking down the three areas that the Texas Longhorns need to improve in the final stretch of the 2020 College Football Season.
Seven games are now in the books for the Texas Longhorns. Only Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State remain on the schedule. The football team isn’t where maybe they thought they would, when I did the preseason predictions to this point in the season they were projected to be 6-1. Only a game off but the loss was thought to come against Oklahoma State and not on back-to-back weekends against Texas Christian and Oklahoma.
The Mike Yurcich offense was supposed to enhance the level of play by quarterback Sam Ehlinger. While it looked promising early on, he has since cooled off a bit. Could it be that he is missing his top two receivers from last year? Perhaps. Could it be that he isn’t healthy? Well there is that too. Or could it be that we are seeing a regression? All of these could be true. It is one area of improvement needed.

Texas has to take it one game at a time as cliché as that sounds. It will all start against the Jayhawks on Nov. 21 in Lawrence. Once that game is out of the way, the team will have just six days to get ready for their last home game of the season against Iowa State. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, here are the three things that the Longhorns need to do in their final three games.
According to the computers the Texas Longhorns have the second-best odds to win the Big 12 Conference. So who is their competition?
We are down to four games left in the Texas Longhorns 2020 campaign. Continue reading “Texas Longhorns have second-best chance to win Big 12 per FPI”

Texas has an opportunity to get back to two games above .500 if it can pull off the upset. Otherwise it will be right back to where it was after the Oklahoma game, taking a step forward and then a step back. This game will have it’s fair share of storylines. A lot will revolve around embattled head coach Tom Herman.
The Longhorns under Herman haven’t fared well against top 12 teams in the regular season. In fact the only win in the eight games came against the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2018 Red River Rivalry game. Can he get No. 2 on Saturday?
FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt understandably views Texas vs. Oklahoma State a ‘monster game’ for Tom Herman.
The Texas football program is in a downward spiral right now. Continue reading “Joel Klatt: Texas must defeat Oklahoma State to ‘turn this around’”
The Texas Longhorns defense is being tasked with stopping one of the best trios in college football. Who needs to step up for Texas?
When the Texas Longhorns decided to move on from Todd Orlando, many thought that this would make a massive improvement on the defensive front. Present company included on that thought. However, they are still waiting on the Chris Ash to make the level of impact that many expected.
It could be that some of the issues stem from the fractured football program that defines the state of the Texas Longhorns. Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has raved about him, he has improved the defense everywhere he has been a defensive coordinator. The Longhorns need more from that side of the ball and it all starts on Saturday.
Against the No. 6 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, this defense will be tested. They have an up and coming young quarterback in Spencer Sanders. Not to mention the backfield duo of Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown, plus the dynamic playmaker in Tylan Wallace. Safe to say this defense will be tested.
Here are the three defensive keys for the Longhorns to try and upset the Cowboys on Saturday afternoon in Stillwater.
