Simply put, this 2020 Texas Longhorns football season has been defined by 55 minutes of mediocre play followed by Sam Ehlinger’s late-game heroics in effort to win games they don’t deserve to win. That sure isn’t the blueprint for success in college football.
And to think Texas is struggling this much in the fourth year under head coach Tom Herman behind a senior-led team — that says it all.
In order to win Saturday’s game, Texas had to capitalize on the numerous mistakes Spencer Rattler made in the first half. Instead, they failed to take control of a very winnable game and got absolutely dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
