Why Texas Will Win

Texas needs this.

It’s fine for the big tournament no matter what, but a loss to a mediocre TCU team would be a problem for seeding … maybe. There’s no reason to take a chance.

The Longhorns have been terrific over the last few games on the road hitting half of its shots and nailing just about everything from three and the free throw line. Get the offense going in any way, and that’s it – TCU doesn’t have the offense to keep up, failing to get to 70 in five of its last six games.

Why TCU Will Win

TCU really needs this.

At 12-12 it’s not going to the NCAA Tournament unless it starts to look impressive in his and makes a deep run in the Big 12 tournament. Even then, forget about it without a Big 12 Championship, but it starts here.

Yeah, Texas has been great on the road lately, but this is the fourth straight game away from Austin with the last home date over two weeks ago. TCU might not have the offense, but it has enough of a defense to keep this interesting if it can keep the up-and-down outside shooting Longhorns from going off.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas won 70-55 back in mid-February, and it’ll be the same sort of a blueprint with the offense doing just fine on the inside and on the move, and with TCU not having enough offense to take advantage of its opportunities.

Texas (12-5) vs TCU (11-7) Game Preview

Why TCU Will Win

It’s a stretch to assume TCU has turned its season around, but after a rough stretch of losses it’s 2-0 in February. It’s not like the shooting has improved all that much, but it’s been fantastic on the boards and it’s been able to come up with the key late shot and free throws to get by.

Texas is on the flip side. It’s been able to win the two free-space games against Kansas State, but that’s it since taking down West Virginia six games ago.

The Longhorns have been wildly inconsistent from the field, but …

Why Texas Will Win

They’re good enough from three to bomb their way back into the game if needed. Yeah, the Longhorns have struggled lately, but three of the four losses were close and could’ve gone either way, and the other was against Baylor.

TCU doesn’t force a lot of mistakes and isn’t enough of a bother to keep the Texas shooters down for too long, and it’s not good enough from the line to come through late.

Keep TCU off the offensive glass, and all will be fine.

What’s Going To Happen

This has been a very, very streaky TCU team, but it’s having a rough time on the road over the last few weeks.

Texas should be okay from three and should hover around the 50% mark from the field to make this – potentially – a kickstart to the finishing kick.

Three things we learned from Texas’ loss to TCU

Tom Herman can take away a lot of things from Saturday’s game against TCU. Here are three things we learned from the Big 12 season opener:

Texas revealed its true colors against TCU on Saturday, falling to the Horned Frogs for the seventh time in nine seasons, 33-31. Tom Herman’s squad struggled in every facet of the game, falling short in what could have been a winnable matchup.

From the offensive perspective, quarterback Sam Ehlinger struggled. The senior admitted “losing bothers [him] the most.” Ehlinger has been the starting quarterback against TCU four times and has lost three of them. Not connecting with his receivers and head-scratching play-calling from Mike Yurcich led to a struggling offense.

Moving to Chris Ash’s side of the ball and the inability to stop Max Duggan ultimately lost Texas the ballgame. Not only having a solid display in the air but the sophomore quarterback led the Horned Frogs in rushing, getting into the end zone three times. With Spencer Rattler on deck, it will only get harder for the Longhorns’ defense.

A lot can be taken away from the TCU loss if Texas wants to get its hat back into the Big 12 championship race. In year four, Tom Herman should be able to identify the problems and adjust quickly.

Texas Longhorns Football: Three reasons Texas lost to TCU

Saturday’s loss to the Horned Frogs was a frustrating loss where UT beat themselves all day. Here are three reasons Texas lost to TCU.

Death, taxes, Gary Patterson beating Texas. Since joining the Big 12 in 2012, TCU has dominated the Longhorns, winning seven of the nine matchups. Saturday’s victory made it two in a row for the Horned Frogs.

A frustrating day all-around, Texas will fall to 2-1 on the season and already behind in the Big 12 standings. In the three seasons Tom Herman has been the head coach in Austin, the Longhorns have never begun a season 3-0.

Since 2017, Texas has lost six games to an unranked opponent as an AP ranked team, the most in the country. While Herman continually shows up in the biggest games of the year, his teams struggle against teams they are expected to win.

Against TCU, the story was the same. The Longhorns beat themselves with penalties and poor moments from both the offense and defense. A lot will need to be fixed before next week’s Red River Shootout against Oklahoma.

Here are three reasons Texas lost to TCU on Saturday:

Texas Christian vs Texas: Third Quarter Recap

The Texas Christian Horned Frogs finished the third quarter leading the Texas Longhorns 23-21. Texas needs a big quarter to win.

The third quarter between Texas Christian and Texas opened with more running by the Frogs offense. After getting into Longhorns territory, a holding call on TCU stalled their drive. They settled for a 49-yard field goal attempt from Griffin Kell. That made the it 23-14 Horned Frogs.

Facing a 3rd and one from inside their own 20 yard line. Ehlinger ran it 36 yards for a first down in TCU territory. Inside the red zone and Ehlinger’s accuracy issues continued as he couldn’t connect with his receivers. After an offside on the field goal, Ehlinger and the offense went back onto the field for fourth and two. Ehlinger finds Roschon Johnson for the touchdown.

TCU punts the ball right back to Texas after more penalties from the Horned Frogs stalled their drive. After a three and out after a Jake Smith drop, TCU went back to work with good field position. The defense finally gets to quarterback with a strip sack from Joseph Ossai. The Longhorns offense gets a short field.

After an ineligible player downfield was called on a long catch and run by Al’Vonte Woodard, the Longhorns end up punting again. The offense not able to get anything consistent in this game. Defensively the missed tackles were an issue again throughout the game. As the quarter ended TCU’s Blair Conwright caught a pass down the sideline to get back into the redzone.

TCU finished the third quarter driving with a 23-21 lead.

Stats

Ehlinger: 11/27 161 yards 3 TDs 1 INT

Ehlinger: 7 carries, 46 yards

Smith: 5 receptions, 45 yards, 1 TD

WATCH: Brennan Eagles touchdown ties game in second quarter

Sam Ehlinger’s second touchdown of the day against TCU was to wide receiver Brennan Eagles. You can watch the game-tying play here:

Texas’ matchup against TCU is off to a rocky start, many thanks to the officials. 14 penalties have been called for over 100 yards, hurting both the Longhorns and the Horned Frogs.

Outside of the penalties, Sam Ehlinger and the Texas offense has struggled. The senior quarterback has only completed five of his 13 passes. A positive? Big plays have come out of those five completions, totaling 132 yards and two touchdowns midway through the second quarter.

His second touchdown was to wide receiver Brennan Eagles. The junior wide receiver ran a stop and go route over the middle of the field. Once TCU’s linebacker was frozen, Eagles took off and ran into the endzone untouched.

After a Cameron Dicker extra point, Texas tied the game up 14-14. To this point, the Longhorns have not taken a lead against the Horned Frogs. It will be another tough battle against TCU.
