Covering quarterbacks and running backs already, we now look wide receivers. A position in the Big 12 which has seen many stars come and go, especially from Texas.

The Longhorns have also faced some excellent receivers over the years, trying to slow down heavy passing attacks. As recent as CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma to the early days of the Big 12 with Rashaun Woods out of Oklahoma State, the conference has been littered with talent out wide.

This upcoming season will be no different for Texas. As deep as the quarterbacks are in the conference, wide receivers may run even deeper. Even if the Longhorns’ non-conference schedule, they come up against the 2019 Biletnikoff Award winner.

After looking at the top five quarterbacks the Longhorns will play in 2020, we move on to the running game. Five out of the top six leading rushers in the Big 12 are returning next season, with Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts leaving for the NFL.

While Texas’ Keaontay Johnson cannot make the list, he should be considered up there atop the Big 12 in running backs. Despite dealing with injuries and the surprise help of Roschon Johnson, Ingram finished sixth in the conference.

For the rest of the pack, this will not be their first time running over, through, and around defenses on a week to week basis. To truly be considered an elite offense in the Big 12, you also need a great ground game.

Outside of Sam Ehlinger, the quarterback play for the Big 12 is full of talent going into the 2020 season. To win in the conference, quarterbacks must be the driving force of the offense.

A mixture of younger and older signal callers have taken over, ranging from a redshirt freshman like Spencer Rattler, all the way to juniors and seniors such as Brock Purdy and Charlie Brewer.
