Show Notes
Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Bob Shipley and Brian Erwin explain why Texas can no longer win a championship without making major offensive changes. The coaches break down how the Longhorns moved the ball effectively on their opening script before abandoning the perimeter throws, screens, jet action and running concepts that worked. They also examine the alarming number of unblocked defenders and why Steve Sarkisian must adapt his offense to the players he has.
The panel debates whether Arch Manning has become “shell-shocked,” pointing to his problems recognizing pressure, anticipating open receivers and trusting his instincts. Coach Irwin also argues that Sark’s dual role as head coach and offensive coordinator is beginning to damage his game management, including two failed fourth-down attempts that helped Florida score 21 points. Is it time for Texas to hire an offensive coordinator and let Sark focus on leading the entire program?

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South evaluate Texas’ 2026 freshman class at the halfway point of the season. Jermaine Bishop Jr., Richard Wesley and Derrek Cooper have separated themselves as the Longhorns’ “Big Three,” and the offense consistently looks more dangerous when Bishop and Cooper are involved. With Texas entering must-win territory, both freshmen need significantly larger roles during the second half of the season.
