Any team with Charlie Strong coaching for it will consider its defense a strength, which we saw in 2014. But for the Longhorns to succeed, he and his staff with have to figure out how to fix the most debilitating weakness of all—the quarterback.
This is a ground-and-pound team. Led by Johnathan Gray and the running backs, the Longhorns will try to control the clock and let their front seven tee off on opposing passers.
Of course, this is the Big 12, where the Horns will inevitably have to air it out to keep pace, especially because they lack cornerback depth.
