This week in Texas talk

The shows spent the week picking apart Texas's inconsistency, with Arch Manning's turnover-prone play drawing the most scrutiny. There's agreement that the Longhorns have a brutal remaining schedule that could expose them, though some think they can win out if the offense steps up. The talk keeps coming back to whether Texas is a real playoff contender or a two-loss team that could collapse down the stretch.
