“I Can’t Call Sark an Elite Offensive Mind” — Texas’ Biggest Problem in 2026

Rod Babers and CJ Vogel deliver a blunt assessment of Steve Sarkisian entering his sixth season at Texas. Despite three consecutive double-digit-win seasons, the Longhorns have consistently fallen short of elite status on third down, in the red zone and with their in-game offensive adjustments. With Arch Manning surrounded by explosive weapons, is this the season Sark finally produces the dominant offense Texas needs to win a national championship?

 

The guys also discuss Sarkisian’s opportunity to defeat Oklahoma and Texas A&M for a third consecutive season, why the Sooners may present the tougher rivalry matchup and which road games could derail Texas’ title pursuit. Plus, they break down Graceson Littleton’s position in Will Muschamp’s secondary, Laerence Seymore’s upside at left guard, Landon Williams-Callis’ five-star talent and how an aggressive defense could help Texas take control of games early.
