The Texas Longhorns offensive line made several errors to open the season. According to head coach Steve Sarkisian, those errors are fixable.
Sarkisian said the following of how Texas is addressing those issues.
“We made some errors up front that were uncharacteristic for us. (They are) very fixable things. Which, that’s what we were working on here this morning, of getting those things tightened up. … That’s the good thing, when you go watch it, that the things that occurred are fixable.”
That the errors are fixable by next week doesn’t negate how much work it will take to get back on track. The Texas offensive line faces a much more difficult task this week. It faces a monstrous defensive line whose theme for the 2023 season is “joyless murderball.” Texas has to match that intensity.
Help could be on the way for the Longhorns should they get right guard Cole Hutson back from injury. The 13-game starter as a freshman appears not to have been beat out by DJ Campbell judging by Campbell’s performance. Left guard Neto Umeozulu was also said to have performed well in the game.
Regardless of who plays, there are several mistakes to correct. Texas will look to correct them before Saturday.
