Texas Football: 3 overreactions from the deficient loss to WVU

This is clearly one of the worst seasons in the modern history of the Texas football program. New head coach Steve Sarkisian has gone from talking about Texas being able to compete for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game last month to get a rematch with the Oklahoma Sooners to not even getting this team bowl eligible. The struggles for Texas this fall came to a head this weekend in an eventual one-possession loss on the road at the hands of head coach Neal Brown and the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Sark and the Longhorns fell short to the Mountaineers in Morgantown this weekend by the final score of 31-23. This is the sixth straight loss for the Longhorns. And this is the one that officially made Texas bowl ineligible this fall. This is a spot for the Longhorns that was almost unimaginable early last month.

But here we are.

Texas football still unimpressive in loss to West Virginia this weekend

At this point, all that the Longhorns can really do is find the next path forward that makes sense to have a 2022 offseason that is conducive to righting the ship starting next season. There’s not much to say about this loss to West Virginia outside of the fact that the Longhorns keep finding a way to make this season worse.

While the loss to the Mountaineers is not as bad as the one to the Kansas Jayhawks last weekend, it doesn’t feel much better. Texas doesn’t have much motivation to go on for the regular season finale next week against the Kansas State Wildcats either.

With that in mind, here’s a look into three overreactions from the Longhorns 31-23 loss to West Virginia on Nov. 20.
