LIVE: Why Texas Has LEGITIMATE Championship Upside... & Why You Should Pump The Brakes | Longhorns Football | Steve Sarkisian | Arch Manning

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas has legitimate championship-level upside entering the 2026 season. The Longhorns return a quarterback capable of erasing mistakes in Arch Manning, surround him with explosive weapons at receiver and running back, and feature potential havoc creators such as Colin Simmons and Rasheem Biles on defense. However, Texas must eliminate the penalties, negative plays and offensive-line breakdowns that repeatedly forced the offense behind the chains last season. The conversation then turns to Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and the blueprint Texas can use to disrupt him. Sayin is one of the nation’s most accurate passers when protected, but his production drops dramatically when defenses generate consistent pressure—creating a major opportunity for Will Muschamp’s aggressive scheme. The guys also discuss why the Ohio State matchup could define Texas’ season, Steve Sarkisian’s impressive record against the Longhorns’ biggest rivals and whether Arch can break Colt McCoy’s single-season passing record.
