Three keys to Texas Longhorns winning the College Football Playoff

Three keys to Texas Longhorns winning the College Football Playoff
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Not long ago, the Texas Longhorns were a once legendary program in decline. 

Now Head Coach Steve Sarkisian and surprise QB Quinn Ewers have put the Longhorns back in the national championship conversation. But as Uncle Ben once told Peter Parker, aka Spiderman, with great expectations comes great pressure to win the whole damn thing… (or something like that.) 

Head coach and former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian has steadily improved his Texas Longhorns since taking over in 2021. He found a projected top 10 NFL Draft pick in Ewers, brought in his heir apparent with the most famous last name in football, No. 1 overall recruit Arch Manning, won the Longhorns’ first Big 12 title since 2009, and took his team to the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history. 

Now expectations are higher than ever. Texas is preseason ranked No. 3 with the third best odds to win it all in 2024. What do the Longhorns have to do to turn high hopes into reality?

Shut down opposing QBs

The glaring weakness in an otherwise impressive 2023 campaign from the Longhorns was a young secondary without much depth that finished 113th in the country against the pass. This included a 430 yard, two touchdown torching by Washington Huskies phenom Michael Penix Jr. in a season-ending loss at the Sugar Bowl in the College Football Playoff. 

But the Longhorns have taken measures to turn this weakness into a strength. They’ve snagged the No. 1 ranked safety in the transfer portal, Clemson standout Andrew Mukuba, who helped lead the Tigers to a top-5 defense against the pass. They also managed to bring back NFL-calibur cornerback Jahdae Barron, a fifth-year senior with loads of much-needed experience who had entertained leaving for the draft at the end of the 2023 season. 

With the continued development of second-year starter Derek Williams Jr., and incoming freshmen talent like four-star recruit and track athlete Xavier Filsaime, improved secondary play will be essential, especially in an all-important matchup against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs QB Carson Beck, who threw for nearly 4,000 yards in 2023. 

Excellence from Quinn Ewers

High-level quarterback play is a no-brainer for any team, but Quinn Ewers will have to rise above multiple challenges most signal callers never face, much less simultaneously. 

For starters, Ewers lost his top four pass catchers from the 2023 season to the NFL Draft: wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, and Jordan Whittington, plus tight end Ja’Tavian Sanders. On top of that, the Longhorns’ moving from the Big 12 to the SEC comes with a significant rise in the defensive capabilities of their opponents. 

Only one defense Texas played in 2023 ranked higher than 50th in total defense – and that was Alabama at No. 18, a team Texas managed to upset by only a field goal. In 2024, against a host of SEC foes, Texas will face six such defenses, including their new SEC rival Georgia Bulldogs, who come in at No. 9. 

Ewers will have to quickly gel with his new receiving corp, including heralded Alabama transfer Isaiah Boyd, if he hopes to repeat his 2023 success and lead his team through a tough SEC and extended College Football Playoff. 

Watch out for Oklahoma

Who would ever think that the Red River Rivalry, an unbroken, heated, 95-year matchup that is one of the most celebrated in all of college football, against all-time nemesis and fellow Big 12 escapee Oklahoma, could be a sneaky trap game? 

It might seem especially unlikely given last year’s huge upset at the hands of the Sooners, led by a monster, 398 total-yard performance from uber-talented QB Dillon Gabriel, now of course surprisingly an Oregon Duck. But when Texas and Oklahoma face off on October 12th, the Longhorns will be coming off their first SEC matchup against the always tough Mississippi St. Bulldogs on September 28th, then will have the biggest matchup on their calendar the very next Saturday, a visit from top SEC QB Carson Beck and the unanimous preseason No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs, a game teeming with SEC Championship and playoff bye implications.

The good news is that Texas’ bye comes right before this brutal stretch. The Longhorns will have to somehow keep Georgia off their minds for those two weeks prior and handle business in Dallas before turning their attention to their toughest matchup of the season.

Expectations are high for the breakout Longhorns in 2024, yet so are the challenges they will have to overcome. But on the other side of those obstacles is a realistic shot at a national championship trophy they haven’t hoisted since 2005.
