The once uncertain college football season is now rapidly approaching.
As of now, the Big 12, SEC and ACC conferences are moving forward with a fall football schedule. It’s certainly a possibility that COVID-19 could derail the season at any point, but they’re trusting the health and safety measures put in place to give the players a chance to compete.
Texas is in need of a fresh start. After hiring two new coordinators this offseason in Mike Yurcich and Chris Ash, the Longhorns are hoping to improve from an underwhelming 8-5 record in 2019.
The standard and expectations at Texas are to compete for conference titles. Ultimately, that’s the first stepping stone in order to reach the College Football Playoff.

PFF graded Texas’ top returners on offense and you may be surprised to see two running backs within the top four.
