“We Should Be Playing for Championships” | Biggest Takeaways From SEC Media Days | Texas Football

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, CJ Vogel and Hank South reveal their biggest Texas takeaways from SEC Media Days. The panel discusses Steve Sarkisian’s confidence in what may be the most talented roster he has assembled in Austin, the significance of the Longhorns entering fall camp almost completely healthy and why expectations now extend far beyond simply reaching the College Football Playoff. Texas knows it has a championship-caliber team—and the coaches and players are no longer attempting to downplay that reality.

The crew also examines the questions that could determine whether Texas fulfills those expectations, including improvement along the offensive line, finding the right starting five, creating a more consistent running game and eliminating the costly penalties that plagued the Longhorns last season. With Ohio State arriving in Week 2 and a demanding SEC schedule ahead, Texas cannot afford another slow start. The talent is in place, but execution, discipline and situational football will decide whether the Longhorns become a true national championship team.
