The REAL problem nobody is mentioning about the Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns' 2025 season began with historic #1 preseason rankings, but a disappointing 3-2 start has fans asking questions. While much of the focus is on new starting quarterback Arch Manning, how much responsibility falls on Head Coach Steve Sarkisian?

This video from Sooner Stats takes a deep dive into Steve Sarkisian's entire head coaching career to find out if he's a part of the problem. We explore the origin of the "Seven Win Steve" nickname and analyze the troubling inconsistencies that have followed him from Washington to USC, and now, to Texas.

Using key offensive metrics like PPA (Predicted Points Added), success rate, and explosiveness, we uncover a significant statistical decline in the Longhorns' offense. Most importantly, we'll show you evidence that this drop-off didn't just start with Arch Manning—it began during Quinn Ewers' final seasons.
