After a 48-45 win over the Oklahoma Sooners to advance to 5-1 on the season, it’s easy to see that the Texas Longhorns are playing the best football they have in recent memory.
Outside of the late-game letdown against the Sooners on both sides of the ball, the offense is playing at an efficient clip and the defense continues to play at a high level. Trends continue to emerge and give insight into how Texas has managed its most successful start since the 2009 National Championship run.
This feature is on the verge of becoming the Sam Ehlinger report, but the sophomore quarterback’s performance has not only been integral to the offensive success for the Longhorns, but statistically, he’s putting himself among some of the greatest quarterbacks in school history.
