Texas has the recruiting acumen and coaching staff to return to the top of the Big 12. First, it will have to overcome its issues at quarterback and in the trenches.
The Longhorns have had the same problem since they began their slide after 2009: They don't have a quarterback capable of leading the offense, and boasting one wins games in the Big 12.
As of now, the Horns also have some issues with depth and the overall effectiveness of the offensive line. The defense will be more than the sum of its parts, but this team has to do a better job of controlling the point of attack on the offensive side of the ball and preparing for when injuries strike.
