Watch: Longhorns get stuffed on fourth and short, turn the ball over on downs

Watch the Texas Longhorns get stuffed on fourth and short and turn the ball over on downs

In an overall uninspired performance so far, the Texas Longhorns are down early to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 14-0. Texas needed to get something going, and opted to go for it on fourth and one on the Red Raiders’ 24 yard line. Much like the rest of the game so far, the Longhorns’ offensive line got no push and Ehlinger was stopped short of the first down marker.

The Texas Longhorns are currently playing their final game this season against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the rest of the game.

WATCH: Sam Ehlinger’s quarterback sneak comes up short

Texas is down early to Texas Tech and struggling on offense. Watch Sam Ehlinger come up short on his fourth-down quarterback sneak attempt.

It has been a rough start on the offensive side of the ball so far for the Longhorns. After going three and out on their first drive, Texas drove all the way to the Texas Tech 24 yard line. On 4th and 1, the Longhorns decided to go for it.

In what more like a yard and a half to the line to gain, Texas’ offensive line was not able to get any push. The Red Raider defense was able to stuff Sam Ehlinger on his quarterback sneak attempt, turning the ball over on downs.

Here is the attempt:

With only one game left in the season, the Texas Longhorn senior class is putting it all on the line. Four years of blood, sweat, and tears all come down to this for the senior class. Jeffrey McCulloch is no exception, and he’s doing all he can to get this Texas team hyped up before taking on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. McCulloch’s methods seem pretty similar to Coach Tom Herman’s a week ago (which he came under fire for)

Watch: Urban Meyer, Reggie Bush, and Charles Woodson try to decipher what exactly went wrong with Texas this year

Urban Meyer, Reggie Bush, and Charles Woodson try to decipher what exactly went wrong with Texas this year

Coming into the 2019 season, the Texas Longhorns were ranked inside the top 15 and projected to be a one or two loss team competing for the Big 12 Championship. Instead, Texas is reeling after dropping two straight and sitting on the outside looking in at 6-5. With a loss to Texas Tech today, the Longhorns could finish the season with 6 wins at .500 – barely enough to scrape together a bowl appearance.

The question here is simple: what went wrong? Obviously, injuries have played a part, but at some point other factors must be considered, including coaching, recruiting, and player development. On the pregame show, coach Urban Meyer and Heisman winners Reggie Bush and Charles Woodson discuss what they think went wrong with Texas this year:

Three reasons Texas will beat Texas Tech

Texas has a very important game to close out the season against Texas Tech. Here are three reasons the Longhorns will beat the Red Raiders.

Texas has a very important game to close out the season against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Currently sitting at 6-5, Texas needs a win to guarantee another winning season under Tom Herman. Needing a walk-off win from Lil’ Jordan Humphrey to win in Lubbock last season, the Longhorns should be able to win by a greater margin this year.

Here are three reasons Texas will beat Texas Tech:

Texas Tech’s pass defense

Going into this week, the Red Raiders have the worst passing defense in the entire conference. Opponents have thrown for an average of 369.4 yards per game against Texas Tech, including three 400 yard games for Oklahoma, Kansas, and West Virginia.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger and the Longhorn passing game has been this team’s strong throughout the season. Ehlinger has thrown for 3,114 yards, the third-most in the Big 12. He has also found the endzone 27 times in the air, only trailing Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts.

While the passing game is coming off a rough game against Baylor, Texas should be able to throw all over this Texas Tech defense. Wide receiver Devin Duvernay will be important, but other receivers like Brennan Eagles and Malcolm Epps need to step up for the Longhorns. If they can, Texas should be able to win easily.

Home field advantage

Even though the road team has won the last four matchups, Texas should benefit from playing in Austin this year. Overall, Texas is 4-1 at home with its only loss coming to No. 2 LSU. In the Big 12, Texas has yet to lose at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium with wins over No. 21 Oklahoma State, Kansas, and Kansas State. Texas Tech, on the other hand, is 1-4 on the road.

The Longhorn offense, in particular, has soared at home, averaging 39 points a game. The defense has struggled, but playing in a close shootout is nothing Texas has not seen this season. In the Big 12, the three wins have come by an average of 3.7 points, with the largest margin being the six-point victory against Oklahoma State.

The Red Raiders have done a little of everything on the road. To start their Big 12 season, they got blown out 55-16 to Oklahoma, but also only lost by three to Baylor and Kansas. Their defense has allowed 34 points a game on the road and the Texas offense must take advantage.

The Longhorns have more to play for

This is a crucial game for Texas as they need a win to guarantee their third straight winning season. If they do not, a loss in their bowl game would give the Longhorns their fourth seven loss season in six years. Texas Tech, on the other hand, is 4-7 and cannot reach a bowl game.

Not only will a win give Texas a winning season, but it will improve what bowl game they play in. Getting to 7-5 could see the Longhorns as high as fourth in the pecking order. A loss would drop them as low as sixth, which could be the last Big 12 team available.

Not only are bowl game scenarios on the line, but possible coaching jobs are on the line. While Head Coach Tom Herman may not be in any danger, his staff on both the offensive and defensive staff may be. Texas players have told the media that the coaches still have the locker room’s respect. If they can come out and prove they some promise, it may save some coaching jobs.

Texas will face Texas Tech at 11:00 a.m. CST on Fox.

Texas may make coaching changes as soon as this weekend

Texas has had a disappointing season and that may come at a cost to some coaches. Texas is expected to make some changes to the staff soon.

This season has been a disappointing one for the Longhorns, currently sitting at 6-5. While much more was expected of this team, it has failed to produce victories, let alone compete for a conference championship. Because of that, some changes may be made after the season finale.

According to Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.com, Texas could be making changes to the coaching staff as early as this weekend, no matter what happens in Friday’s game against Texas Tech.

While it seems like Head Coach Tom Herman is safe, members of his staff are in danger. Offensive coordinator Tim Beck and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando have taken a lot of heat the past few weeks for the Longhorns’ performances.

While both coaches have stated that they are not worried about their future, their time may be coming to an end in Austin.

With the regular season ending on Friday, Texas must figure out their coaching situation as soon as possible. Since the early signing day for recruiting is on Dec. 18, Texas must have it all worked out by then.

First and foremost, Texas must focus on Texas Tech to finish their season out on a positive note. They will face the Red Raiders at 11:00 a.m. CST on Fox.

Throwback Thursday: Texas vs Texas Tech 2009

In 2009, Texas was looking for revenge against Texas Tech. Let by some good defense, the Longhorns were able to do that with a 34-24 win.

To open Big 12 play in 2009, Texas hosted Texas Tech in what was a revenge game from the year before. In 2008, the Red Raiders beat the Longhorns, giving them their only loss of the season. This year, Texas made sure they would not come in their way of a perfect season.

Ranked No. 2 in the country, Texas was led offensively by quarterback Colt McCoy and wide receiver Jordan Shipley. The two connected 11 times for 73 yards. Shipley also returned a first-quarter punt 46 yards to give Texas a 7-3 lead.

Hunter Lawrence kicked a field goal in the first minute in the second quarter and that was the only scoring of the first half. Texas went into the locker room winning 10-7.

The second half was the opposite of the first, with each team finding their rhythm on offense. The first four drives in the half had four touchdowns, two for each team. Running backs Tre Newton and Cody Johnson found the endzone for Texas, while Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts found wide receiver Lyle Leong twice to make it 24-17 in favor of the Longhorns.

With the good, also came the bad. The four drives after the scores were a Texas punt, Potts interception, McCoy interception, and a Sergio Kindle strip-sack on Potts. After the fumble, the Longhorns finally took advantage of a turnover, as McCoy found wide receiver Dan Buckner for a three-yard score.

The Red Raiders responded with another Taylor Potts touchdown, but Texas was able to ice the game with a nine-play, 50-yard drive that ended in a Lawrence field goal to give the Longhorns a 34-24 lead. Texas forced a turnover on downs and got their revenge against Texas Tech.

While Potts’ 420 yards was the most the Longhorn defense allowed all year, Texas held Texas Tech to -6 yards on the ground. They also forced five fumbles, but only recovered two of them. Add an interception and the Longhorns forced three turnovers.

Colt McCoy had one of his worst days of the regular season, throwing his only multiple interception game. Tre Newton led the team in rushing, having 88 yards on 20 carries.

This game started a six-game winning streak in the series for the Longhorns. Tomorrow’s matchup will make it a decade since this matchup and Texas has gone 8-2 in those 10 games. With a win tomorrow, they can keep that 8-2 record in the 2010s.

Texas will face Texas Tech on Friday at 11:00 a.m. on Fox.
