Beyond the Hype: What Coaches Really Look For in Game One | Texas Football | Steve Sarkisian | Arch Manning
Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Brian Erwin and Bob Shipley reveal what they need to see from Texas in the 2026 season opener. Arch Manning must establish himself as the leader of a loaded offense, while the rebuilt offensive line and running backs need to dominate short-yardage situations. Defensively, the coaches explain how Will Muschamp’s aggressive style and Texas’ four-man pass rush could overwhelm the Bobcats without revealing too much before Ohio State.
The crew also identifies the opening-game mistakes that could create problems, including turnovers, substitution errors, false starts, busted coverages and poor tackling in space. Coach Erwin predicts a 45–10 Texas victory and calls Cam Coleman to score the Longhorns’ first touchdown of the season.
