We are now 11 days away from the college football season. With that in mind, let’s reassess where Texas stands after fall camp.
Texas lost Junior Angilau and Isaiah Neyor, but for the most part the depth chart remains intact. Cole Hutson and Kelvin Banks emerged as impact players, while Cam Williams and DJ Campbell solidified their role in the two-deep.
The rapid development of Hutson and Banks increases my confidence. Albeit, the biggest determining factor for my record prediction was the quarterback decision.
Quinn Ewers’ style of play and ability to throw the deep ball changes the way defenses will play the Texas offense. And while Hudson Card had positive traits, I believe Ewers’ skill set will provide more margin for error for the offense.
On the defensive side, D’Shawn Jamison, Byron Murphy, DeMarvion Overshown and Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey shined in camp. Their offseason improvement could strengthen the Texas defense.
Let’s provide reasoning for why Texas could still go 9-3 this season.
