Texas Football Schedule: Understanding Phase Two Goals
The No. 2 Texas Longhorns are gearing up for what head coach Steve Sarkisian terms “Phase Two” of the season, kicking off with the annual rivalry game against No. 19 Oklahoma. This game marks the beginning of a challenging seven-week stretch of SEC matchups, including hosting the Georgia Bulldogs and traveling to face Arkansas. As Texas aims for postseason success, a strong emphasis on ball security and generating explosive plays is vital.
Three Keys To Securing Success
- Ball Security: Texas struggles with turnovers, ranking No. 83 in turnovers lost, highlighting an urgent need for improvement.
- Explosive Offense: The Longhorns have excelled with numerous chunk plays but need a better blend between passing and running games.
- Defensive Strength: Texas leads the SEC in key defensive metrics and must maintain pressure to limit opponents' opportunities.
As Texas enters this critical phase, Coach Sarkisian acknowledges the importance of correcting issues from prior games to achieve their goals.
