I have to say this because nobody else is talking about it. Texas finished 2025 ranked 112th nationally in turnover margin. That is not a typo. One hundred and twelfth. For a program that went 10-3 with a roster this talented that is genuinely insane. You cannot win the SEC giving the ball away like that. Georgia and Alabama feast on those mistakes.
The frustrating part is the offense was actually efficient. The Longhorns ranked top 20 in yards per play and top 15 in scoring. But when you are coughing it up inside your own 40 or throwing picks in the red zone you are leaving wins on the field. I watched too many drives stall out because of a strip sack or a tipped ball that went the other way.
Here is what gives me hope though. The coaching staff clearly identified this as the number one problem this offseason. The spring emphasis on ball security drills and the way they are rotating the QB reps tells me they are trying to fix the decision making. If Texas can get to even +5 in turnover margin that is probably two more wins on the schedule. The talent is there. The margin for error is just razor thin in this league.
