After quite a poor performance from the Longhorns on Saturday against the Gators, now unranked Texas is bound for its worst report card of the year, up to this point at least.

Both the offense and defense will receive a numerical grade, which will be rounded to an overall letter grade.

Offense: 66

This was the worst the Texas offense has looked, behind the seven-point performance against Ohio State in Week 1.

The offensive line was incapable of providing decent pass protection or run blocking throughout the game, and it’s what led to many of the issues on the offensive side of the ball on Saturday in The Swamp.

It deeply affected the ability to run the ball, which was practically nonexistent as there were only nine rushes recorded by running backs, with only 11 rush yards recorded. It was the worst that the Texas run game has looked in a long time.

Quarterback Arch Manning still struggled for the most part. It wasn’t his worst game of the season, but there were definitely bad moments. Potentially exacerbated by the offensive line, his accuracy issues still prevailed as he threw two picks.

Stanford transfer wide receiver Emmett Mosley finally made his Texas debut on Saturday, and it went well as he recorded two receptions for 40 yards. Hopefully, he’ll be able to continue to imrpove on this performance as the season goes on.

There’s not much else to say; this offense was nowhere near up to standard. Every area of the offense will need to improve.

Defense: 69

The defense was the most stunning part of the loss on Saturday, as the defense had looked like the best in the country while also holding Ohio State to just 14 points earlier this season. However, that defense was not present in Gainesville.

The defense line has been struggling all season to make an impact on opponents’ offenses, and those struggles continued against Florida, as it was unable to ever get to Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, get pressure or stop the run.

The linebackers were unable to prove themselves as a force in both run support and pass defense. They were unable to create pressure as blitzers, effectively stop the Gators’ run game or even prove themselves as a threat in the backfield.

Similarly, the defensive backs did not threaten Lagway whatsoever, as he was able to throw to whoever he wanted to, wherever and whenever he wanted to. The Longhorns also allowed freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson, who was making his Florida debut, to record 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

What makes it worse is the fact that the Longhorns let Lagway, who threw five interceptions in one game earlier this season, throw for almost 300 yards and two touchdowns while dominating the Texas secondary.

It was a very unfortunate performance all-around from Texas on Saturday, and hopefully, it will look completely different when Texas takes the field against No. 6 Oklahoma in Dallas in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday.

Overall: D+
