Down seven starters, Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong and his staff enter a crucial 2016 season needing his recruits to continue their stellar play from last season.
Losing almost a third of their starters hurts on the surface, but the Longhorns should feel lucky. They lack obvious backups at only two spots and will keep most of the two-deep from last season.
If anything, this is an opportunity to hand more responsibility over to Strong's 2015 recruiting class, which was last season's bright spot.
Unfortunately, the quarterback battle continues to be the biggest question mark for this team entering the offseason.
