After laying out the top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receiver Texas will face in 2020, we now go to the opposite side of the ball and look at cornerbacks.

For a conference that loves to air the ball out, the Big 12 has some incredible cornerbacks. Add in the top corner in the country from the SEC and Texas will have their hands full next season.

Wide receiver is a big question for the Longhorns going into the season. Players such as Brennan Eagles and Tarik Black are expected to step up on the outside. These five guys will be trying to stop them and limit Sam Ehlinger.

Top five wide receivers Texas will face in 2020

Covering quarterbacks and running backs already, we now look wide receivers. Here are the top five pass catchers Texas will face in 2020:

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.

Top five running backs Texas will face in 2020

To truly be considered an elite offense in the Big 12, you also need a great ground game. Here are the top five RBs Texas will face in 2020:

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.

Top five quarterbacks Texas will face in 2020

Even with an improved defense, UT is going to have some challenges with these talented QBs. Here are the top five QBs UT will face in 2020:

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.

Getting ripped to shreds in the passing game last season, the Longhorns ranked ninth in the Big 12 last season. Even with an improved defense, Texas is going to have some challenges ahead facing these talented quarterbacks.

Five players that need to step up in 2020

If these players can take a step up, Texas is going to be sitting well next season. Here are five players that need to step up in 2020.

The win over Utah in the Alamo Bowl was a great way to end a rather lackluster 2019 season. The minute that game was over, the focus was onto the 2020 season. Much like this time last year, there is a lot of hype and speculation as to what type of team will show out for the Longhorns next season.

While it will more than likely be better than the 7-5 season from this year, there is a lot of room for improvement to take that next step up. New offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and new defensive coordinator Chris Ash should be able to bring that improvement, but when it comes down to it, the players must execute.

In a season that Texas will return a lot of talent, some of the same players that were critical in the 2019 season will need to continue to do what they are doing. Especially on the defensive side of the ball, where Texas struggled for most of the season. If these players can take a step up in 2020, the Longhorns are going to be sitting well next season.

5 biggest what ifs from the 2019 season

Every week, Longhorns fans left leaving the game thinking “What if this went our way?” Here are the 5 biggest what-ifs from the 2019 season.

At the end of each football season, there is always a few what-ifs for each team. That is no different for Texas, especially after a disappointing 8-5 season. From the very beginning of the season to the final few games, every week, Longhorns fans left leaving the game thinking “What if this went our way?”

Boneheaded plays cost Texas all season, sometimes even in games they were in total control of. It started with having the LSU offense in a favorable 3rd and 17 position and ended with jumping offsides to give Iowa State a huge first down to run out the clock to end the Horns’ Big 12 championship hopes.

While these are not excuses as to why Texas lost, it is easy to wonder what would have happened if they went in the Longhorns’ favor. Each individual one could have completely changed the entire course of the season, for good or for bad.

Here are the five biggest what-ifs for the 2019 season:

Top Five Football Moments Of The Decade

While it may have been a rough decade for the Longhorns, there still was some good moments. Here are the top five moments of the decade.

While it may have been a rough decade for the Longhorns as far as the win column goes, there still was some good moments for Texas. Picking up wins against Oklahoma, top 10 opponents, in some bowl games, and ending a rivalry on a high note, even during the lowest time of the program’s history, they have produced some magic.

Having three coaches since 2010, Mack Brown, Charlie Strong, and Tom Herman have each been in charge for at least three years. Brown was fired after the 2013 season, marking the end of a 15 year period for Texas. Strong got three years from 2014-2016, but all three seasons ended in seven losses. Tom Herman has returned Texas to a bowl game in all three years in charge, but still has some work to do.

Texas has had a mix of success and failure throughout the 2010s, but the moments have no doubt made fans believe they can return to the level they should be at. Here are the top five moments of the decade for the Longhorns:
