Show Notes
Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton, Rod Babers and Bobby Burton debate the biggest issue facing No. 7 Texas at the midpoint of the season. From Arch Manning’s inconsistent processing and costly turnovers to poor blocking, a lack of physicality and nonexistent offensive rhythm, the Longhorns have no dependable identity. Texas has produced 13 three-and-outs over its last 27 drives—and 16 of those possessions ended without a first down or with a turnover.
Rod presents the clearest solution: reduce the ineffective 12-personnel package, spread the field and put Jermaine Bishop on the field more often. Texas averaged more than 10 yards per play from 10 personnel against Oklahoma, while nearly half its three-and-outs came with two tight ends on the field. The crew explains why Bishop, Ryan Wingo and Derrek Cooper must become central pieces as Steve Sarkisian tries to create explosive plays, repair the running game and keep special teams from costing Texas another victory.
