The Texas Longhorns are back on the field on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the first time post-College Football Playoffs, with new players in key locations and a hope to make it back in their first year in the SEC.
Quarterback Quinn Ewers is back to command an offense that returns four of five offensive linemen but has almost complete turnover at the skill positions. With key pieces transferring into the program and young players stepping into starring roles for the first time, the offense has to find its rhythm quickly. The defense has nearly the opposite problem, with the majority of the secondary returning, but a need to replace its two biggest contributors on the defensive line.
