What are the keys to Texas having a successful season?

Texas needs major improvements in these areas in order to succeed in 2022.

Steve Sarkisian and Texas are looking to bounce back after what was a season from hell in 2021.

The Longhorns fell victim to a historic collapse against Oklahoma, which then led to a historically long six-game losing streak.

Sarkisian and his staff put a big emphasis on revamping the roster this offseason, as there has been major turnover with over 30 new scholarship players joining the team. Every single one of them was very much needed as the Longhorns were home to a very inconsistent offense, and a defense so inefficient at times that traffic cones might have been more effective.

Whether it was from the transfer portal or from the high school ranks, Texas upgraded at seemingly every position possible.

However, there are certain things that Texas will need to happen in order to turn 5-7 into 9-3 or possibly better.

Let’s take a look at the major keys to Texas having a successful season in 2022.

4 keys to an upset victory for Washington over Seattle Seahawks

It’s going to take a long-shot for Washington to find a victory on Sunday, but if they can let loose and take some chances, it’s not out of the question.

Heading into this Week 15 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, it doesn’t feel like many people are giving Washington a great chance to come out with another upset victory. It’s a pivotal game for Ron Rivera and his team, one that could ultimately sway their postseason dreams if they are to pull off a win, and it could also be a chance for them to assert their dominance over a potential playoff opponent, and announce their presence to the rest of the NFL world.

However, it’s going to be extremely hard to accomplish. News came out on Friday that it would be QB Dwayne Haskins getting the start, rather than Alex Smith, and the defense in Washington would be without three of their regular starters. On top of that, Seattle is a good team, with a dynamic offense and a much-improved defense from the start of the season. Sitting at 9-4 with a future Hall of Fame quarterback and a second-year WR who can find success in every aspect of the passing game, Washington is going to have to play a near-perfect game in order to come out on top.

Of course, we’ve said that a number of times over the past month and Washington continues to get the job done, so this isn’t to say that they can’t do it. If they are to pull off the upset, though, here are some things they need to take care of.
