Jeff Howe and Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers go back through the film from Texas’ 30-6 victory over UTSA and uncover an offense lacking rhythm, explosiveness and a clear identity. The Roadrunners blitzed on more than half of Manning’s dropbacks, confused the offensive line with second-level pressure and prevented Texas from completing a pass of 20-plus yards for the second consecutive game. Rod explains why the Longhorns’ inability to establish Manning’s preferred concepts points to a growing disconnect between the quarterback and play caller.
The defense tells a completely different story, as Will Muschamp continues creating advantages with early-down blitzes, late defensive-line movement and aggressive pressure packages. Rod places his concern level for the offense at a six out of 10 and identifies another troubling tendency opponents could exploit in Manning’s throws outside the left hash. With Tennessee waiting in Knoxville, Texas must discover what it can consistently do well—and quickly.
