If the Texas Longhorns are to continue trending upward in 2018, it will likely be in large part due to more consistent play along the offensive line. The Horns are incorporating Herb Hand as the program’s fourth offensive line coach in as many seasons and are still starved for some semblance of stability up front after Texas employed eight different starting offensive line units in 2017 alone.
In all likelihood, the left side of the line is in place. Rice graduate transfer Calvin Anderson is set to slide in to take over the role Connor Williams — and many others — filled last season at left tackle.
