Texas football’s Steve Sarkisian attempts to explain what went wrong vs. Florida

On Saturday, Texas football suffered a shocking 27-24 defeat against Florida, their first back-to-back loss of the season. The former No. 1 overall Longhorns are now 4-2 after the setback. Head coach Steve Sarkisian attempted to shed light on the causes of the loss during his post-game press conference. "We didn’t play very good football today.

Very disappointed," he admitted. The issue, according to Sarkisian, was Texas' inability to be effective on first downs and short-yardage situations. The Longhorns managed to score 24 points, but only one of those came from a kick return. Despite early season success, including an upset win over Ohio State, Texas has now dropped back-to-back games to Oklahoma and Florida, both by a score of 27-24.

Speaking to reporters, Sarkisian vowed to keep working and improve, emphasizing that his team has the potential to surpass its current performance. The team's next challenge is a tough one against Ole Miss, a game which will be crucial for Texas to stay in the College Football Playoff conversation.
