Coming off an overtime loss to Texas Tech, Texas will try to get right Saturday went it hosts West Virginia at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
AUSTIN — Coach Steve Sarkisian is 7-9 through his first 16 games at Texas. That’s the same mark as Charlie Strong, who was ousted in 2016 after three seasons, and two wins off the pace set by previous coach Tom Herman, fired on Jan. 2, 2021, after going 32-18 overall and 4-0 in bowl games.
True, no team is a finished product this team of year. And had Texas executed just a little bit better down the stretch in one-score losses to Alabama and Texas Tech, the Longhorns would be undefeated and harboring hopes of reaching the Big 12 championship game and College Football Playoff. Texas Tech kept Texas’ defense on the field for 100 plays last week. The Red Raiders possessed the ball for nearly 36 full minutes, 11 in the fourth quarter alone.
Texas has also allowed opponents convert 39.7 percent of the time on third down, 84th in the nation. WVU's offense has converted on 49.2 percent of its third-down attempts, ranking 21st in the nation.Whether it’s been Hudson Card or Quinn Ewers quarterbacking the offense, Texas receivers haven’t hauled in many deep balls this season.
