Texas Longhorns struggle with turnovers in second preseason scrimmage

The Texas Longhorns held their second preseason scrimmage at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, August 22, 2026, ahead of their season opener against Texas State on September 5. The Longhorns ran 120 plays but faced issues with turnovers, committing four during the scrimmage. Head coach Steve Sarkisian noted the offensive performance was 'sloppy' despite two of three starting wide receivers scoring touchdowns. Junior quarterback Arch Manning concluded the scrimmage positively, delivering touchdown passes at the end, though Sarkisian emphasized the need for improvement ahead of the upcoming season. Texas will enter a mock game week with classes starting Monday.
