The Locked on Longhorns Podcast kicks off the show with a discussion on Sam Ehlinger. Will this in fact be his last Texas-OU weekend matchup? Head coach Tom Herman jokingly stated “who said?” That was in response to a question about Ehlinger going into the final Red River Shootout game at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday. With the NCAA’s rule on college eligibility this year, seniors such as Ehlinger would have the opportunity to come back.
On Sunday’s practice the captain spoke about being disciplined and taking accountability to his team. Ehlinger obviously wants to win so what will it take for the Longhorns to get back on track on Saturday? Baker Mayfield decided to fire a shot regarding the rivalry, will there be any Longhorns who will chime in?
In the second segment the discusses switches to which Longhorns need to step up on Saturday. On offense it feels like it needs to be running backs and the wide receivers. Jake Smith returned to lead the team in receptions but if felt like it left some on the table. On the defensive side of the ball it falls on the pass rush and the linebackers. Texas is missing way too many tackles and it starts with the front seven defenders. Who are the dark horses who step up on Saturday?
With the Sooners on tap on Saturday, who will be the key matchups to watch? Oklahoma has a talented receiver in Charleston Rambo, which cornerback will need a big game to slow him down. Plus can Keondre Coburn win inside against Creed Humphrey? Plus Patrick and Cami lay out just how Texas wins this game against the rivals north of the river.
