People in here are definitely underselling or don’t realize how much they lost from that team last year. Herman should be a National COY candidate if they go 9-3


Agree completely.

Texas is so thin on the o-line that they couldn't even filed a two deep for their spring game. They've added Calvin Anderson since then, but still.

They aren't going to be good, no matter how many writers want write content indicating otherwise.

There is a much better chance that Ehlinger does when he's forced to play with a concussion like he did last year against OU.



I rewatched last years RRR and still couldn't believe that he was put back in the game after being knocked out cold.

With no o-line, I really fear for his safety this year.

People are tearing them to shreds for losing to Maryland, but the Terps would have been a 8-9 win team last year if they weren't on their third string QB by their third game.


Who else would they have beaten had they been healthy at QB? Rutgers? 8-9 wins is an optimistic outlook and, more likely, unrealistic.

It will be Ehlinger. He's a bad arse, and tough as hell, he just won't have any protection.

Lots of people sleeping on Baylor in here.

They were young as frick last season and coming off of a mass exodus of transfers. I don’t expect them to win 10 games or anything, but I think Rhule will surprise a few people and get them to a bowl game.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Taylor made it to a ball game, but I would be shocked if they beat Texas.

Northwestern, Rutgers, and Michigan State (only lost that game 17-7). So they would have won 7, not 8-9. That offense against Texas was fast, dangerous, explosive, and efficient. I mean, Texas scored 3 non offensive TDs and still wasn't really close to winning the game because Maryland's offense absolutely carved them up.

They were a shell of themselves by the time UCF came to town in their third game.

5-7 would be a very successful season for them.

Baylor fricking sucks.

The real sleep is on Iowa state. You know, the other team to play defense in the big 12.

Everyone whom listed Texas’ schedule had them beating Baylor like it’s some automatic win.

I think both teams will be average at best and it will probably be a good game.

Lol never said we were good, but we are hopefully much improved following last year.

I’m optimistic, but really the only place to go is up from here.

He's going through a complete culture change and rebuild.

I think year 3 it starts to bear fruit.
