Steve Sarkisian: Texas has considered moving Cole Hutson to left guard
Could Texas football solve one of the problems on its maligned offensive line by simply shifting around some responsibilities?
With Hayden Conner now in the NFL, Texas has failed to get consistent play at the left guard position this season. Connor Stroh has started in all five of UT’s games, but the third-year lineman was replaced by true freshman Nick Brooks, a 6-foot-7, 349-pound converted tackle, during the Longhorns' uninspiring performance at Florida last week. Texas has also used junior Neto Umeozulu at left guard.
According to Pro Football Focus, Stroh (235 snaps), Umeozulu (73 snaps) and Brooks (44 snaps) have all received a grade of lower than 65.0 this season.
Former Heisman Winner Calls Out Texas Longhorns' Offensive Line
Without beating around the bush, the Texas Longhorns' offense has been a massive disappointment this season, with the unit consistently struggling to get going over the first five games. Many place the blame on quarterback Arch Manning, but there's a far larger problem at play.
The Longhorns' offensive line has not been good this season and was completely exposed in last week's loss to Florida, allowing six sacks against Manning and pressure on over half of his dropbacks. The line only allowed three sacks over the first four games, but a performance like that is simply inexcusable, especially for a unit with so much talent.

Kyle Flood’s Texas OL rebuild is going poorly
Developmental failures have changed the narrative about the decision not to take an offensive lineman from the portal.
Now in their ninth season together, the Texas Longhorns head coach and his offensive coordinator and offensive line coach were first united with the Atlanta Falcons as both were trying to rebuild their respective careers. Sarkisian was two years removed from being fired by the USC Trojans and in his first full season calling plays again. Flood was two years removed from being fired by the Rutgers Scarlet Knights amidst scandal and was serving as the assistant offensive line coach after a year away from coaching.
