Texas Longhorns face pressure following offensive struggles

The Texas Longhorns are facing significant pressure following a 4-2 start to the season, marked by consecutive losses to unranked Oklahoma and Florida. The team's offensive struggles have drawn intense scrutiny, particularly regarding play-calling and efficiency on third downs.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian has publicly acknowledged issues with his decision-making, describing certain recent plays as “crummy calls.” He emphasized the need to remain creative while improving fundamental execution. The offense has struggled with yardage production, notably recording only six plays for eight yards during a third quarter in the loss to Florida.

As the Longhorns prepare to host Ole Miss, the program's future is under discussion. Some analysts suggest that if the team fails to secure a College Football Playoff berth, Sarkisian could face replacement, with potential candidates including Curt Cignetti being discussed due to his recent success in talent development.
