Show Notes
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.
Texas must also rebuild its pass rush with Richard Wesley out and Colin Simmons doubtful against elusive Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. The guys examine how Raheem Biles, Justice Terry and the remaining edge defenders can fill the void, why second-half execution remains a major concern and what the Longhorns must change to finally deliver a complete four-quarter performance.

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.
Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Rod Babers identify realistic in-season fixes for a Texas offense producing three-and-outs at a historically poor rate. The Longhorns must simplify the attack, turn perimeter throws to Ryan Wingo and Jermaine Bishop into an extension of the running game and repeatedly use the bunch, stack and unbalanced formations that have already generated explosive plays. The message for Steve Sarkisian is clear: stop abandoning what works and play the hits.
