"I'M TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT" | Texas Must COMMIT to the Run—or Stop Talking About It
On Texas FootballShow Notes
Jeff Howe, Coach Bryan Erwin and Coach Bob Shipley diagnose everything that went wrong in Texas’ 27-24 loss to Oklahoma. The Longhorns lost the turnover battle, surrendered a blocked-punt touchdown, missed a field goal and failed to capitalize on another championship-level defensive performance. Coach Erwin breaks down the punt protection mistake in detail and explains exactly how Texas can prevent another special-teams disaster.
The coaches then challenge Steve Sarkisian to decide what he wants this offense to become: commit to a physical running game or stop talking about it. They explain why Texas should use more under-center and pistol formations, feature Derrek Cooper, simplify the passing game and give Arch Manning more RPOs, checkdowns and quick throws. With Florida arriving Saturday, Sark must swallow his pride, evaluate what is working and make changes before another winnable game slips away.

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South react to Steve Sarkisian’s final comments before Texas faces Ole Miss. Arch Manning remains the Longhorns’ starting quarterback, but K.J. 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.
