Show Notes
Jeff Howe and Rod Babers return to the film to uncover the clearest solution for Texas’ inconsistent offense: more four-receiver, 10-personnel formations. The Longhorns produced 83 yards and two touchdowns on only eight snaps from the package against Oklahoma, while converting both third-down opportunities. Rod explains why Steve Sarkisian should double its usage, get Jermaine Bishop on the field and stop abandoning concepts that are working.
The guys also reveal why Arch Manning’s performance against the blitz was better than it appeared, completing 9-of-11 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns before his costly interception. Plus, they examine Sark’s questionable play sequencing, Derrek Cooper disappearing after a productive first half and how Oklahoma simplified its offense to protect John Mateer and neutralize Colin Simmons. With Florida next, Sark has reached a defining crossroads in how he builds this offense.

Lacey has prepared for a potential opportunity after receiving significant practice reps. The crew explains what could trigger a change at quarterback and whether more Derrek Cooper, new personnel combinations and a simpler approach can revive the struggling offense.

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.
