Steve Sarkisian to Maintain Play-Calling Duties After Loss to Oklahoma
Following a 27-24 defeat to Oklahoma, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian has confirmed he will retain his play-calling responsibilities and will not alter his coaching staff. This decision comes amid criticism regarding the team's performance, particularly in special teams and offensive execution.
The Longhorns struggled against Oklahoma, failing to capitalize on opportunities and suffering from a lack of offensive production. Texas has been ranked poorly in several offensive metrics, including three-and-out rates and yards per play. Sarkisian acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in special teams, where errors have been costly in recent games.
Despite the loss, Texas remains in contention for a strong season finish, with upcoming games against Florida, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. The team aims to secure a high seed for the College Football Playoff, but inconsistency in performance could jeopardize their goals.
