Summary
The Longhorns had the chance to bounce back from last weekend's second-half collapse to Oklahoma when Texas hosted No. 12 ranked Oklahoma State Saturday. The Longhorns led for the majority of Saturday's game against the Cowboys, only to once again collapse in the second half, leading to a 32-24 loss to Oklahoma State.
On this week's game reaction edition of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes break down the Longhorns' second conference loss of the season, this time to the Cowboys, which was a bit reminiscent of last weekend's late game loss to Oklahoma.
The Flagship weighs in on the offensive issues that plagued the team in the second half, which once again was a product of poor offensive line play, penalties and the offense taking their foot off the gas as the game wore on, especially after going up by double digits on the Cowboys early in the third quarter. Chip and Taylor also discuss what Steve Sarkisian had to say about the Longhorns' psyche when games start going in their opponents favor and how the bye week will be a chance for the coaches to try to correct the mental fragility of this Texas team.
Catch all of that and much more on this week's loaded Texas-Oklahoma State game reaction edition of The Flagship Podcast.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome in everybody to the flagship podcast. I am Chip Brown of Horns 24-7, joined as always by our fearless leader, the managing editor of Horns 247, Taylor Estes. |
| 0:22.8 | And we are coming to you after a 30 to 24 loss to Oklahoma State in which the Texas Longhorns once again had a double-digit lead, got off to a nice start and had things under control. |
| 0:42.9 | We're moving in to expand on a 17 to 3 lead, and Casey Thompson throws an interception that has returned 85 yards for a touchdown and suddenly an Oklahoma State team that wasn't doing much right up to that point, especially on offense. |
| 1:06.4 | Spencer Sanders was his erratic version of Spencer Sanders, started getting it together because that |
| 1:14.6 | single play, obviously, as Steve Sarkesian pointed out, Taylor, Texas had a chance to go up, |
| 1:21.8 | maybe 24 to 3, at least a field goal because they were on the 18-yard line. |
| 1:33.6 | You would expect Cameron Dicker, who might have been the player of the game for Texas in this game, |
| 1:37.8 | punting seven times, averaging 51.7 yards per punt. |
| 1:44.5 | But you'd expect Texas to come away with points, and it turns into this momentum shift. |
| 1:49.2 | And even though Texas played well at the very beginning of the third quarter, |
| 1:50.9 | that was it. |
| 1:52.8 | That was like their last gasp. |
| 1:54.0 | Those were the heart paddles. And Oklahoma State ends up outscoring Texas 19 to nothing to finish this game. |
| 2:00.4 | And now Steve Sarkesian's talking about his team's |
| 2:03.4 | psyche and working on his team's psyche in the off week, Taylor. Yeah, I mean, Chip, it's kind of, |
| 2:12.0 | it's sad in the sense, you know, for Texas fans. But at halftime, you and I were talking to the Oklahoma State |
| 2:19.0 | publisher for 24-7, and I made the comment. I was like, this game, just for some reason, |
| 2:23.8 | starting, I feel like this is going to be one of those where Texas is going to hold the lead |
| 2:27.7 | for the majority of the game, and then Oklahoma State is going to do something late in the game |
| 2:32.2 | to win, because you just kind of started |
| 2:34.4 | getting that feeling, I feel like even, you know, I know that Oklahoma or that Texas started off |
| 2:39.2 | the third quarter, you know, Bijon Robinson had that 38 yard touchdown run, but that was |
