Texas Football 2016 Offense Off-Season Preview: Horns Need Progress Now

Texas opens with Notre Dame again this year and they'll be looking for a better effort and outcome compared to last year's debacle in South Bend.

The Texas offense was varying degrees of a mess before Charlie Strong took over the program back in 2014. As he heads into this 3rd season leading the Longhorns things still look underwhelming for Strong and a bunch of new assistant coaches.
