Everyone talking about Arch Manning and the portal haul but Texas still has a special teams problem that nobody wants to address. The Longhorns finished 87th nationally in punt return average last season and that alone cost them field position in at least three games. Sarkisian brought in a new special teams coordinator this offseason and the numbers better improve or the playoff talk is irrelevant. You cannot win a conference championship when your punt coverage unit ranks outside the top 60.
