Two key areas where Texas needs to improve
Ball security and third-down defense are concerns for Steve Sarkisian.
Two key areas where Texas needs to improve include ball security and third-down defense. Head coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized that the Longhorns were not perfect and have several issues to work on, particularly in taking care of the football. He noted the team's poor ball security, as evidenced by four fumbles in the game against Ohio State, compared to only two last season.
Additionally, Sarkisian highlighted the need for better third-down defense, as Texas currently ranks last in the SEC, allowing opponents to convert 50 percent of their third downs.
