Five questions surrounding Texas football entering UTSA matchup

Texas has to answer a few serious questions moving forward.

The first two weeks of the college football season have taught us a lot about this Longhorns team.

Texas looks like a much-improved team on the defensive side of the football. The Longhorns are tackling well, playing disciplined football and doing a better job against the run. Pete Kwiatkowski deserves tons of credit for the play of his unit through the first couple of games.

The Horns have also identified some of its go-to playmakers offensively. Bijan Robinson, Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington are back, along with the emergence of JaTavion Sanders and Casey Cain. The young offensive lineman are looking solid to begin the year.

The effort against Alabama proved Texas is capable of competing with anyone in the country. Moving forward after the injuries to Quinn Ewers and multiple key players will be a difficult task for the Longhorns.

Here are five questions surrounding the Texas football program heading into its Week 3 matchup against UTSA.

Biggest questions surrounding Texas football in 2022

Although there’s increased hype surrounding the program, Texas still has some questions to address this offseason.

With the offseason free agency market coming to a close, otherwise known as the transfer portal and recruiting madness, it is just about that time to start looking ahead to next season.

Texas and their fans have all the reasons in the world to look forward, because in their rear view mirror is a dreadful 5-7 season under Steve Sarkisian that featured historic collapses and a record breaking six-game losing streak.

The staff was able to recover after their season came to an end, as they pulled in the No. 5 recruiting class in the nation, while also bringing in a top-10 class of transfers to address major holes all over the roster.

Rather than being able to build off a successful season, Sarkisian finds himself in a similar position as he did the previous offseason which is instilling the culture and having to figure out what will work for this team and how to best utilize the talent at hand.

This team on paper should be much more talented than what Sarkisian inherited last season, but there are still a ton of pieces and nuances the he must figure out.
