Steve Sarkisian taking it on the chin from fans before first game is even over

Oh boy. It took less than four quarters for the Longhorn fanbase to once again turn to blaming Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian for the struggles of the offense.

As quarterback Arch Manning took over the offensive reins, it was against none other than the Ohio State Buckeyes, the defending National Champions and the team that kicked Texas out of the College Football Playoffs last season.

Once again, Sarkisian found himself fumbling to find the secret play call to make the Buckeye defense give up significant yardage or points.

Texas found itself within the 5-yard line, just like it did during the CFP semifinals, and the Horns failed to cross the goalline, yet again.
