However, the best positional group for the Longhorns might actually be upfront on the offensive line, where Pro Football Focus ranked Texas as the No. 4 unit in the country, headlined by star left tackle Kelvin Banks.

It had been eight years since a Texas Longhorns player was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when Bijan Robinson became the seventh overall pick in 2023. The Atlanta Falcons surely didn't regret the decision. "When he gets the ball in his hands, he makes people miss," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said during mandatory minicamps. "He gets extra yards. He's able to fight for extra yards. He breaks tackles. He's fast. He's explosive. He's strong. He can do so many things you can get overwhelmed sometimes, maybe, as a play-caller or designer." Regarding how Robinson is used within the te ..read more

After an offseason that saw one of the best head coaches in college football, Jim Harbaugh, heading to the NFL, one might expect a severe downturn for last year’s national champions Michigan.  In some respects, that’s true. Though new head coach Sherrone Moore was the mind behind Michigan’s best offense of the Harbaugh era, the losses of quarterback JJ McCarthy, running back Blake Corum, wide receiver Roman Wilson and almost the entire offensive line will bring a large amount of turnover to the Michigan offense.  But the defensive side of the ball is a completely different story.

The Texas Longhorns' first big test of the 2024 season will come at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines, traveling over 1,100 miles to The Big House in Ann Arbor to face the defending national champs. Texas is sure to bring its A-game on offense with the brain of head coach Steve Sarkisian, the arm of Quinn Ewers and the speed of the skill players on the field, but Michigan isn’t as known for its offensive excellence. Michigan had one of its best offensive seasons last year, averaging over 35 points per game in its undefeated run. The problem is, that most of that offense is gone. Head coach ..read more
