Texas is usually a lightning rod for many college football fan bases. One college football writer will likely make waves for his thoughts on the program.
Andy Staples of The Athletic shared his thoughts on a number of topics involving four major college football programs: Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA and USC. He discussed the importance of this season for each team in its last year in its current conference. Afterward he shared expectations for each team heading into more competitive leagues.
In short, Staples appears to be confident in Oklahoma and Texas heading into the SEC. He cites the Sooners’ track record of consistent success and the Longhorns’ talent acquisition as reasons to believe in each team.
Interestingly enough, Staples thinks as highly as we do of left tackle Kelvin Banks, wide receivers Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell, Isaiah Neyor and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders.
Here are some of the best quotes from his mailbag article.
