The first snap of the season is still over 200 days away, but it is never too early to make bold predictions when it comes to Texas.
The expectations are already emerging from the cracks, as 247Sports declared Texas as a team that has the chance to crash the playoffs.
While this team still has so many questions and answers that will resolve themselves, there are a few certainties going into the season. With the most glaring being the fact that Steve Sarkisian and his staff need to make major improvements after going 5-7 in the first season of the “all gas no brakes” era.
Sarkisian was able to bring in the No. 5 recruiting class while also adding a very talented group of transfers, with all but one of them having significant playing time. The lone transfer without experience is expected quarterback prodigy Quinn Ewers, who enrolled at Ohio State a year early with the highest ranking in recruiting history that just a handful of other players have achieved.
Needles to say, there is growing expectations from the fan base and the media that Texas will finally turn it around next season.
Here are my five bold and way-too-early predictions for 2022.
