The Texas Longhorns came into Friday’s matchup desperately seeking to change the narrative by securing a victory.

At the start of the second-quarter vs. Kansas State, the Longhorns’ offense capped off an incredible 13-play drive with this beautiful touchdown pass from Casey Thompson to Cade Brewer on 3rd-and-6.

Unfortunately, many of the issues that have plagued the Texas Longhorns’ all season came up again immediately after gaining momentum with the score. After missing the extra point, the Texas defense allowed a 71-yard touchdown run from Kansas State quarterback Will Howard on the first play of the next drive to give the Wildcats a 14-13 edge.

Earlier this week, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was asked what his team was playing for heading into Friday’s matchup.

In terms of the goals for Friday night’s matchup vs. Kansas State, the Longhorns’ first-year head coach laid out four main goals.

“Ideally, we would really like to play well on Friday and one, send a message to ourselves of what we are capable of,” Sarkisian said.

“Two, send the seniors off the right way. Three, lets our fans know we are building this the right way. And four, that our future opponents know what type of team they are going to play next fall.”

The Texas Longhorns’ offense is doing its job so far, but the defense must step up.
