The video from the Inside Texas Football YouTube channel features Joe Cook and RT Young discussing the current state of the Texas Longhorns football team under head coach Steve Sarkisian. The conversation centers on the realistic expectations for the 2025 season, emphasizing that while progress is possible, the team is likely to continue winning in a gritty, defense-heavy style rather than through high-scoring offensive explosions. RT highlights that Sarkisian’s teams historically win “ugly” games by playing tough defense and relying on special teams, a style that may frustrate fans hoping for a flashy offense led by Arch Manning.

The duo acknowledges the volatility of the team’s performance week to week and the importance of a strong locker room culture exemplified by key defensive players like Colin Simmons and Mason Shipley. They also discuss the coach’s pragmatic approach, admitting that this Texas team is less about shootouts and more about grinding out wins. Despite offensive struggles, the team’s relentless effort, resilience, and ability to rise in crucial moments remain commendable and keep faith alive in Sarkisian’s long-term program.
