Burning Questions: Is This Just Who Texas Is Under Steve Sarkisian?
Podcast: On Texas FootballPublished On: Sun Oct 11 2026
Description: Jeff Howe, Coach Bob Shipley and Lifetime Longhorn Marcus Myers examine the recurring problems that finally caught up with Texas in its 27-24 loss to Oklahoma. The Longhorns surrendered two non-offensive touchdowns, committed costly penalties and watched 9 of their 15 possessions end after four plays or fewer with a punt or turnover. After another uneven performance, the panel asks whether inconsistency and poor discipline have simply become the identity of the Sark era. Coach Shipley explains why Steve Sarkisian must conduct an honest evaluation of his offense and begin getting Texas’ playmakers the ball in space instead of relying so heavily on slow-developing concepts and deep shots. The guys also discuss fixing the disastrous special teams, using Derrek Cooper and Jermaine Bishop more consistently and reducing the burden on Will Muschamp’s defense. With Florida coming to Austin and no easy games remaining, Texas must change quickly—or risk watching a championship season unravel. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
