So much expectation will be put on the new-look coaching staff and quarterback for the Texas football program heading into a critical 2020 season.

Most of the weight of expectations for the Texas football program in 2020 will fall on the shoulders of head coach Tom Herman and rising senior star quarterback Sam Ehlinger. Texas will have an improved and more experienced supporting cast around Ehlinger this coming season, which could also define his legacy on the Forty Acres. And Herman was given one last chance to retool his coaching staff and get it right entering his fourth year as Texas head coach.
