"He should be absolutely embarrassed": Calls mount for Steve Sarkisian to give up play calling after Texas offense struggles massively vs. Kentucky

College football fans stormed social media to call for changes in Texas' offensive playcalling after coach Steve Sarkisian struggled mightily in Saturday's SEC 16-13 overtime win against Kentucky.

No. 21 Texas finished with 179 total yards and eight first downs during the game, yet they edged the Wildcats, who couldn't capitalize on the Longhorns' inabilities despite having the longer time of possession and yardage.

This forced fans to react to Sarkisian's struggles, urging the veteran coach to quit offensive playcalling duties and hand it over to another coach and change Texas' fortunes this season.

An unsatisfied fan has given up on Texas' chances to make the college football playoffs. He doesn't believe that Sarkisian would give up the position.

The Longhorns' defense was battered by Kentucky's offense, but held its own against the Wildcats. They accumulated 89 total tackles, with Anthony Hill Jr recording 12 tackles, including eight solo tackles, and an interception.

Michael Taaffe had 10 tackles (five solos) and Jelani McDonald came up with nine solo tackles, as the crew made amends to Arch Manning's offensive struggles downfield.

Manning went 12 of 27 for 132 yards and had -1 rushing yards in 11 carries. Quinrevion Wisner rushed for only 37 yards and one touchdown to lead Texas' rushing offense, which could only generate 47 yards from 28 carries.

Kentucky's offense fails to capitalize on Texas' horrible performance

The Kentucky Wildcats spent almost two-thirds of the game holding on to the football and still lost 16-13 in overtime to No. 21 Texas.

Mark Stoops' offense line used up 39 minutes and 23 seconds to come up with 395 yards (258 passing yards and 137 rushing yards) and 26 first downs.

But Kentucky couldn't get the job done against the out-of-sorts Texas offense, which needed Mason Shipley's strong feet to beat the Wildcats.

Shipley went perfect in three field goal attempts, including the game-winning 45-yard attempt that wasted Kentucky's fourth-quarter rally.

The Wildcats were wasteful of their possessions, fumbling the ball four times, and quarterback Cutter Boley had one pick to cap Kentucky's miserable outing.

Mark Stoops' team remained winless in the SEC in four games and 2-4 overall, while Steve Sarkisian's Texas is still hanging tough for a chance to gain a college football playoff ticket with the ugly win.
