With the dreadful 2021 season behind them, and what should be a prosperous future thanks to success in recruiting and the transfer portal, Texas is poised to turn things around.
It won’t be easy to get back to the top of the college football world, but competing within the conference may be a tad more attainable at the moment.
In order to do so, there will be some major improvements needed across the board, as this Texas team had numerous flaws that ultimately led to the demise of the team as a whole.
For starters, the Longhorns were home to one of the worst defenses in the nation giving up 430-yards per game. It was a unit that showed no signs of improvement throughout the season, and will likely benefit from the amount of talent brought in during the offseason.
The offense was no peach either, and it would be fair to say that outside of Xavier Worthy and Bijan Robinson, the rest of the unit was abysmal all season.
Steve Sarkisian and Texas have a lot of soul searching to do, and most certainly had to go back to the drawing board in order to figure out how to right their wrongs after going 5-7 in year one.
When a season goes as poorly as 2021 did for Texas, everyone is at fault with some more bearing more weight than others. However, with an offseason to improve and fine tune things, it is certainly reasonable to pinpoint who or what needs to improve in order for this team to succeed.
Here is a look at what Texas needs to improve upon in order to succeed in 2022.
