Texas Longhorns running game struggles to produce big plays

The Texas Longhorns are facing challenges in their running game as they look for explosive plays. Despite adding transfers Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers to strengthen the backfield, the team has recorded only three runs of 20-plus yards across their last 193 rushing attempts. The offensive line has been cited as a significant issue, ranking low in several metrics related to run blocking. Meanwhile, former Longhorn QB CJ Baxter has found success after transferring to Kentucky, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of players who left Texas. The coaching staff is tasked with addressing these deficiencies as the season progresses.
