Either the 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) take a significant step toward their ultimate goal of playing for a Big 12 title in December, or they fall short and tumble back to the middle of the pack. Instead, the 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) unraveled against No. Either the 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) take a significant step toward their ultimate goal of playing for a Big 12 title in December, or they tumble back to the middle of the pack. 11 Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1) inside Boone Pickens Stadium. Texas running backs Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson provided a few weeks’ worth of highlights in the first half working behind an offensive line that occasionally included three true freshmen. Texas managed to turn its 31-17 lead into a 41-34 loss , and it did so in ways familiar to anyone who’s seen this team play under second-year coach Steve Sarkisian. “They’re gonna bring everything they got, and we’re gonna come right with it to bring everything we got, too.” Here’s what to watch for when Texas and Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1) collide Saturday afternoon at Boone Pickens Stadium: 1. “It’s very frustrating,” Sarkisian said. “Somewhere in there, we lose focus, mental intensity, whatever you want to call it.: 1. We just didn’t operate very good. Sanders’ status is the most consequential mystery hanging over this game. Take nothing away from Oklahoma State. Without the redshirt senior, well, who knows? Sanders’ status is the most consequential mystery hanging over this game. Quarterback Quinn Ewers threw an interception on the Longhorns’ opening drive and missed the mark on several other throws while dealing with some pressure. They deserved to win. But a lot of what happened today was self-inflicted wounds. Oklahoma State has averaged 45.3 points and 455.” Texas will have a long time to sit and stew over this loss. The Longhorns don’t play again until Nov.5 yards per game with Sanders leading the way this season. 5, when they travel to Manhattan, Kansas, to face No. But without Sanders, this offense takes on an entirely different dynamic. Running back Dominic Richardson finished off three drives with short touchdown runs, and kicker Tanner Brown connected on a 48-yard field goal to account for the Cowboys’ first-half scoring. 17 Kansas State. But without Sanders, this offense takes on an entirely different dynamic. Some notes and takeaways from the Longhorns’ latest letdown: A tough day at the office for Ewers Max Olsen of The Athletic pulled out an eye-opening statistic after the game went final: Texas redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers became the third FBS quarterback since 2000 to attempt at least 49 passes with fewer than 20 completions. Ewers finished the day 19 of 49 for 319 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. 2 is Gunnar Gundy, a second-year walk-on and the son of coach Mike Gundy. And he would represent a steep downgrade from Sanders, the first-team All-Big 12 quarterback last year. He was picked off on Texas’ first and last drives and once more on the Longhorns’ penultimate drive. Most of Ewers’ success came on quick hitters. Texas at least will have some recent game film to study if Sanders is replaced. Texas had a chance to retake the lead on its ensuing drive. Screen passes and short routes where he had to deliver the ball quickly and accurately. 17. But Ewers struggled to link up with his wideouts when throwing outside the numbers and downfield – star receiver Xavier Worthy finished with 78 yards and one touchdown, but he hauled in just four of a season-high 16 targets. 17. “We weren’t great upfront today. I thought it got a little leaky,” Sarkisian said of the offensive line. 2. Can Texas take advantage of Oklahoma State’s quarterback situation? This question flows naturally from the previous one. “At times, I thought (Ewers) was a little jittery in the pocket. Texas couldn’t capitalize on its next chance to answer. But we didn’t help him. Because if the Longhorns can’t keep a banged-up quarterback or a walk-on backup in check, they have no business playing for a Big 12 championship this year. We tried to help him with some easier throws but it wasn’t effective enough. And aside from Sanders, the ground dimension of Oklahoma State’s offense has produced middling results, at best. That’s on me. And aside from Sanders, the ground dimension of Oklahoma State’s offense has produced middling results at best. We’ve got to have a better plan in place to execute at a higher level.” Texas can’t overcome the penalty discrepancy Texas was penalized 14 times for 119 yards.8 yards per carry through six games. Leading rusher Dominic Richardson has averaged fewer than 3. Oklahoma State wasn’t flagged once. Six of the Cowboys’ 32 first downs came courtesy of a Texas penalty.6 yards per carry in each of his past four games, and he’s the only Cowboys running back with at least 20 attempts this season. And four of the 14 penalties occurred either in the red zone or moved Oklahoma State into the red zone. 20 Texas at No. The lack of discipline was stunning for Texas, which had amassed 13 penalties for 105 yards during its previous three-game winning streak. Can Horns win on road? Texas is 1-5 in true road games under coach Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian said he didn’t believe Texas had any jitters playing in a raucous road environment – aside from Ewers, apparently – but when your offense is called for a false start on five separate occasions, something is clearly going on with their mental focus. “I didn’t think we were jittery at all,” Sarkisian said. In fact, Texas hasn’t recorded a true road win in over a calendar year. “But for whatever reason, we had some procedural issues offensively. And we had (four) pass interferences defensively. 2, 2021, then nosedived into a six-game losing streak that derailed Sarkisian’ first season. So there’s things that are very correctable that we can get fixed and will get fixed.” All those penalties also contributed to another glaring discrepancy. “We’ve gotta go out there and deliver on every single play. .
