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.
