Texas enters the second half of its season at 2-4, losing two embarrassing blowouts and close calls apiece.
That's one way of looking at it.
The other would be that the Longhorns played five AP Top 25 teams in their first six games, knocking off No. 10 Oklahoma in Week 6. They play one the rest of the way, and the combined record of their remaining opponents currently stands at 19-18.
That, the 24-17 win in the Red River Rivalry and the fact that this team is coming off a bye will set the Horns up for success in the second half of the season.
