In spite of an incredible outing from theif offense, the Texas Longhorns couldn’t hold off the West Virginia Mountaineers, to fall to 6-3 on the season. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger once again played an incredible game, and senior Tre Watson chipped in with his best performance of the year, so what went wrong against WVU (5:07)?

Texas still has an opportunity to play for a Big 12 championship and the next hurdle they must overcome is the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Gerald and Kyle break down how Texas can come out of a tough place to play with a much-needed win (23:39). They also break down a bit of the Texas basketball tip off (37:51) and look at the committment of five-star center Will Baker.

Finally, they close the show out with Bang the Drum (45:45), in which Kyle wonders what if with Texas quarterbacks, while Gerald encourages patience with the defensive staff.
