Texas still needs answers along the offensive line
Jamie Harms-USA TODAY Sports Arguably one of the biggest moves the Texas Longhorns made heading into the 2018 season was hiring co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Herb Hand. What cannot be argued is the impact Hand had on the team’s success almost immediately.
In 2017, Texas allowed 2.62 sacks and 6.92 tackles for loss per game, good enough for No. 103 and No. 110 in the nation respectively. Fast forward one year and Texas improved those numbers to two sacks per game and 5.36 tackles for loss, slotting in at No. 53 and No. 36 in those same categories.
