Three glaring questions surrounding Texas football ahead of fall camp

Texas begins their fall football camp on Friday. With new coordinators on each side of the ball, several questions remain.

As the Texas football program prepares to head into fall camp on Friday, there’s several intriguing storylines to take a look at.

It all starts with the two new coordinators on each side of the ball. Mike Yurcich has plenty of talented weapons at his disposal to have one of the most high-powered offenses in the country. But how will he use them?

Chris Ash has changed the defensive scheme entirely in hopes of creating a consistent pass rush. There’s no reason that Texas shouldn’t field the best defensive unit in the Big 12.

Several question marks surround this roster. Some may be answered throughout camp and practice reps, while others won’t be quite figured out until several games through the season. Longhorns Wire staff took a dive into three glaring questions that remain.
