ESPN analysts: Quarterback key for Charlie Strong, Texas success

ESPN analysts Tom Luginbill, Rod Gilmore and Marty Smith discussed Texas recruiting on a recent episode of ESPN's College Football Live podcast.

Gilmore said the key for Texas will be finding a quarterback through recruiting.

"To me, what really matters is ultimately your quarterback," Gilmore said. "Do they have a quarterback? Because there has been so much uncertainty about the program: What offense are you running? Who's on the staff ... To me, to be Texas forever, they need a quarterback ... Shane Buechele is coming in - Texas guy, Texas high school. He plays well, everybody loves Charlie and it changes everything.
