Do we know MUCH about the Texas Longhorns Football team under Steve Sarkisian? Overreaction Monday. Geoff Ketchum, publisher of Orangebloods.com, and Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods, overreact to Steve Sarkisian's Monday press conference after Texas defeated Rice 58-0 on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at Darrell K. Royal (DKR) Texas Memorial Stadium. After three games what do we really know about the 2021 Texas Longhorns football team? Texas got a victory over Rice, after an impressive Week 1 win over Louisiana followed by a disappointing week 2 loss to Arkansas. Geoff Ketchum believes he knows what he has in QB Casey Thompson, but he's specifically unsure of what Texas has along their offensive line and who is a receiver that they can count on to make big plays when needed. Texas football now hits a stretch, beginning Big 12 play, that will alllow us to get some of these questions answered. Texas Longhorns schedule over the next three weeks: Texas Tech on Saturday, September 25, 2021, followed by TCU in Fort Worth and then of course the Red River Rivalry game in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma. Casey Thompson was referred to as a "gamer," by Steve Sarkisian this week during his Monday press conference following their Week 3 victory over the Rice Owls. The gamer label for Texas QB Casey Thompson is not something Casey doesn't like. He embraces the idea that there's a different level of play that comes out while he's on the field for a game, instead of in practice. Geoff Ketchum: "This is not a Casey Thompson or Hudson Card discussion for me, as much as this is still an offense that is trying to create more playmakers and more players that it can trust." Texas is currently 5th in the Big 12 in total offense, 5th in scoring offense and 7th in the Big 12 in passing offense. Texas Longhorns football open up Big 12 play this Saturday, September 25, 2021 at 11am against Texas Tech Red Raiders at Darrell K. Royal (DKR) Texas Memorial Stadium.

Xavier Worthy on Steve Sarkisian's response and Texas Football moving past the loss to Arkansas. The Texas Longhorns lost 40-21 to SEC opponent, Arkansas Razorbacks. It was a humbling loss for the Texas football team after their Week 1 victory over Louisiana. Texas Longhorns freshman WR Xavier Worthy visited with Serenity Douglas of OrangeBloods.com to discuss the loss, how the offense played and what the offensive staff including Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian is doing to help the team move forward. Xavier Worthy said Saturday's loss to Arkansas Razorbacks was his first loss in nearly three years of football. He mentioned how crazy it was to be on the field at Razorback Stadium when the fans stormed the field. Xavier Worthy said he had a ton of people running up to him throwing the Horns down. Xavier said the Texas Longhorns might have underestimated Arkansas: "We just weren't ready. I feel like we underestimated them during the week. We were practicing hard, but we weren't practicing how we normally practice, we were taking it lightly." Texas QB Hudson Card struggled completing just 8/15 passes for 61 yards. But, Casey Thompson came into the game and played better than Card. The two QB's Hudson Card and Casey Thompson battled it out all fall and Card was named the Week 1 starter, but Steve Sarkisian has changed QB's and named Thompson the starter Week 3 vs. Rice Owls. Xavier mentioned both are really good QB's, but that Casey Thompson is more experienced. Worthy said Hudson will be better for the experience he's faced the first two weeks of the Texas football season: "I feel like he's going to be the next best thing after Casey."

Texas Football: DeMarvion Overshown on Casey Thompson vs. Hudson Card & the Texas D getting exposed The Texas Longhorns lost 40-21 to SEC opponent, Arkansas Razorbacks. It was a humbling loss for the Texas football team after their Week 1 victory over Louisiana. Texas star LB DeMarvion Overshown joined Serenity Douglas of OrangeBloods.com to discuss the loss, how the defense played and what they learned about themselves during a revealing 40-21 loss to Arkansas Razorbacks. DeMarvion also made the point multiple times to reiterate what Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian told the team in the locker room after the loss to Arkansas: "Don't let this game define us." As a leader on the Texas football team and a leader on the UT defense, Overshown said it's imperative that he gets to work to set an example for the rest of the team of how you should react after a tough loss. Overshown said after the game Steve Sarkisian told the team that the little mistakes Texas made, Arkansas did not make. "Last Saturday is not what's going to define this team," Overshown mentioned an early season loss can help expose the team to what they need to improve upon. DeMarvion Overshown believes the team learned a ton more from the loss to Arkansas than they ever could have learned throughout fall camp and into the Louisiana game. Overshown mentioned some of their flaws were covered up by the Louisiana win, that they learned about themselves in the Arkansas loss. Texas QB Hudson Card struggled completing just 8/15 passes for 61 yards. But, Casey Thompson came into the game and played better than Card. The two QB's Hudson Card and Casey Thompson battled it out all fall and Card was named the Week 1 starter, but Steve Sarkisian has changed QB's and named Thompson the starter Week 3 vs. Rice Owls. DeMarvion said the Texas football team could tell that Hudson Card was uncomfortable at the beginning of the Arkansas game, and it got worse when things didn't go his way. Overshown mentioned "In seeing Casey everyday, he prepares to be the starter, so we knew when the change was coming that Casey was going to do what Casey know how to do. He was able to use his legs and his experience [to his advantage.]" DeMarvion also told Serenity: "You could tell Casey was a little bit more comfortable when he got in."

Reaction to Casey Thompson's press conference after being named Texas Longhorns starting QB from Ketch and Anwar. Casey Thompson will be making his first start in nearly four years. Thompson has not started a game at QB since November of 2017. Casey will be making his first start as the QB at the University of Texas against Rice on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at Darrell K. Royal (DKR) Texas Memorial Stadium. Geoff Ketchum and Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.com discuss what went into the decision by Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian to make the switch from Hudson Card to Casey Thompson. Anwar shared some insights into the Casey Thompson press conference on Tuesday, including Casey sharing his frustrations watching the Longhorns offense struggle against Arkansas. Casey knew he could help Texas in the game against Arkansas and he told the media he was struggling to sit and wait, but he knew the opportunity was going to come. Casey also told the media that he never felt like he lost the job: "Everybody keeps saying I lost the job, I didn't lose the job, it just went into a different direction." Anwar and Ketch also discuss whether or not Sark waited too long to replace Card with Casey Thompson in the game against Arkansas. To the media, Casey Thompson said he's been watching movies over the last few weeks while he's been waiting his turn to start. He mentioned that he likes movies that make him think and he said specifically Leonardo DiCaprio movies, including Inception. What does the QB situation look like at Texas moving forward? It was obviously the biggest storyline going into the 2021 season and it remains in question. Can Steve Sarkisian flip flop back and forth between Casey Thompson and Hudson Card? Or, does he need to pick one of the two and stick with it through good and bad? Casey Thompson, for now, takes over QB1 for the Longhorns, but time will tell if he can hang on to the job.
