Summary

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe are back to discuss Texas' 32-24 loss to Oklahoma State and take a big-picture view of where the Longhorns stand during their bye week, which comes seven games into Steve Sarkisian's first season on the job.

What has Sarkisian's offense done well and where did things go wrong in the team's most recent setback?

How dire is the situation on defense following yet another unsavory performance?

Are one-possession games and the program's recent results in them a systemic issue? It's not a problem Sarkisian created, but it's one he has to fix and it might be the most significant hurdle he has to clear to keep the 2021 season from coming off of the rails.

You can get the latest Longhorn news and analysis at Horns247. The Horn, Austin's home for University of Texas athletics, airs Longhorn Blitz Tuesday night at 7 p.m. and is where Rod (3-7 p.m.) and Jeff (10 a.m.-12 p.m.) can be heard on the air daily.
