I understand that I’m somewhere between steps 3 and 4. Watching all of my other colleagues — whom I respect immensely — look past Texas makes me feel like Ralph Wiggum on the school bus. I’m in danger. And truthfully speaking, I am bracing myself for Texas to do what Texas does, which, in turn, will make me look like a fool.
But nothing happens for the first time until it happens. And when you look at this particular Texas team, the analysis has to go past, “Well, the Longhorns always let you down.” What happened in the past doesn’t always mean that’s what’s going to happen forever. This isn’t simply a recruiting column or a judgment call based on stars, either. In the past, I’ve blindly bought into Texas because it simply is one of the five most talented teams in college football.
There is a difference between blindly looking at a team’s talent level and deeply overlooking how the roster is constructed. This roster is solid. This year? There are far too many things working in the Longhorns’ favor to ignore they have an advantageous path to the final four. Let’s break them down.All five of Texas’ offensive line starters return.
