Texas looks for more from Cam Coleman after shaky start
Summary

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian reviewed Cam Coleman's performance after four games this season. Coleman, a transfer from Auburn with a reported contract worth $4 million, has recorded 12 catches for 208 yards and four touchdowns. However, most of his touchdowns came against weaker opponents, as he managed only five receptions for 79 yards in losses to Ohio State and Tennessee. During the recent game against Tennessee, Coleman sustained a bruised tailbone, limiting his contributions to one reception for 30 yards. Sarkisian noted that Coleman received significant defensive attention and emphasized the need for better utilization of other players.
