Texas has made a strong statement in the transfer portal and the 2022 recruiting class.
Following a 5-7 season, Texas fans could not have drawn up a better 2022 roster overhaul. As a result many expect nine wins for Texas this upcoming season. While a nine-win season is doable, head coach Steve Sarkisian will have his work cut out for him.
The last decade has been forgettable for Texas fans. In fact, the 2018 season is perhaps the only season worth remembering. Texas went 10-4 that year, defeating two top five teams from the final College Football Playoff ranking, Oklahoma and Georgia.
While Tom Herman inherited great defensive players and brought in solid transfers prior to the 2018 season, the depth he handed Sarkisian left much to be desired.
For an idea of how far the Texas team needs to progress, let’s compare this year’s squad to the last Texas team to win nine games.
