Longhorns Fan Reaction: West Virginia Loss Ensures Texas is Bowl Ineligible | The Slumpbuster

Welcome in Slumpbusters! The Texas football program continues to take its lumps as the season comes to a close. West Virginia is the latest team to throw dirt on the grave of the 2021 Longhorns season. Chris Del Conte called for the support from Longhorns fans of head coach Steve Sarkisian. Del Conte cited the roster turnover from the previous two recruiting classes as a reason for the struggles. Regardless of the reason the Longhorns are in the midst of their longest losing streak since 1956. West Virginia instantly began the scoring by taking the ball 75 yards on nine plays. They capped the effort with a Jarret Doege touchdown to Sam James. Texas opted to start Casey Thompson coming off his seven touchdown effort against the Kansas Jayhawks the week before. Thompson would go three and out on his first possession. Texas would fail to convert a first down on their first four possessions overall. In that time, the Mountaineers would take a 14-0 advantage with a second Doege touchdown to Winston Wright. On their fifth possession of the game Texas would finally answer. Kellan Robinson, subbing in for the injured Bijan Robinson, would score a 49 yard touchdown to bring the lead back to a one score game. However, Texas' would allow the Mountaineers to drive once again bringing the lead back to 14 points with a Leddie Brown rushing touchdown. Cameron Dicker would make a 50 yard field goal prior to halftime. West Virginia would enter the half leading 21-10. Steve Sarkisian would opt to make a change at the quarterback position to start the second half. Hudson Card kicked off the scoring with a beautiful 52 yard touchdown to fellow freshman Xavier Worthy. West Virginia traded touchdowns with the Longhorns as Doege found Sean Ryan for his third passing touchdown of the day. Roschon Johnson, who got the start at running back, would bring Texas back to a one score deficit following a West Virginia field goal. Card would briefly have to leave the game as he sustained an ankle injury. Card would re-enter with a taped ankle as Thompson aggravated a thumb injury he sustained earlier in the season. West Virginia would maintain their lead to hand Sark's team its sixth consecutive loss and ensuring Texas would be bowl ineligible for the first time since 2016. #Texas #Longhorns #HookEm Recorded: Saturday, November 20, 2021 Host: Julian "Ju-Ju" Martinez Ig: @jujutalkssports | Twitter: @jujutalkssports Sponsors: CavemanCoffeeCo.Com | PROMO CODE : SLUMP Social Media: Ig: @slumpbusterpodcast | Twitter: @slumpbusterpod Website: https://www.theslumpbuster.com/
