Summary
The Flagship Podcast starts off your week with a loaded show as Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes discuss all Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns had to say Monday as Texas prepares for a must-win road battle this Saturday when the Longhorns hit the road for Ames, Iowa to take on Iowa State. The Flagship weighs in on Sarkisian's comments during his Monday press conference, including what the first-year head coach had to say about some of his play calls in the loss to Baylor. Chip and Taylor also discuss what to make of the team's mentality after three-straight losses and what Texas will have to do to change the course of the season this weekend when they take on a talented Iowa State team.
After a quick break, The Flagship returns with our weekly Love it or Leave it segment, with this week's topics focused on if this year's team has the same mental and physical toughness of the 2020 Longhorns, where the blame falls in the late-game collapses in the losses to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Baylor and positions of focus for Texas in the transfer portal.
Catch all of that and much more on The Flagship Podcast.
