Texas ‘closer’ to answering questions at OL, DB, and in the kicking game

For the Texas Longhorns, preseason camp started in early August with head coach Steve Sarkisian concerned about three major question marks on his team — the offensive line, the secondary, and the kicking game.

With camp now complete, Sarkisian said on Thursday that he believes the Longhorns are “closer” to answer those questions with the season opener now eight days away.

Not only did the offensive line struggle at times last season, it lost a key starter in the versatile Derek Kerstetter, as well as two contributors in Denzel Okafor and Tope Imade, and then went through spring practice without a two deep of scholarship players.
