Texas hit rock bottom last season when it lost to Kansas in overtime at Royal-Memorial...
The Kansas Jayhawks celebrate in the end zone after upsetting Texas 57-56 in overtime last season in Austin to snap a 56-game conference losing streak on the road.AUSTIN — For first-year coach Steve Sarkisian and Texas, the rock-bottom moment arrived Nov. 13, 2021.
“I think Lance has done a great job,” Sarkisian said Monday. “They came out early in the year and really jumped on people. Very unique style of offense, a lot of triple-option components to what they do. They force you to play disciplined football. And the defensively, they’re very active upfront. They create sacks and turnovers. Great challenge for us.”
“Human nature tells you yeah, right, we need to avenge what happened a year ago,” Sarkisian said Monday. “The reality is, we’re a different team. They’re a different team. A little bit more at stake in this scenario of what we need to do.” The Horned Frogs limited Texas to season lows in offensive points , rushing yards , yards per rush , first downs , third-down conversions and yards per play . The Longhorns’ only touchdown came courtesy of junior defensive back Jahdae Barron’s 48-yard fumble return with 4:25 remaining in the game.
Junior running back Bijan Robinson had to watch the fourth quarter and overtime of last year’s loss to Kansas from the sideline. A dislocated elbow knocked the Texas star out late in the third quarter, after he’d gained 118 yards from scrimmage with one touchdown,.
