Listening to some national voices this week (also locally, Ian Boyd seems to be in this camp) on Texas, I think many of them are really missing the boat on the transfer additions. For instance, Bill Connelly has been on multiple podcasts talking about how Texas is basically starting over on both lines (which isn't true, there's multiple returners on both sides) and needs Arch to be special to justify being the best team in the country, but fails to mention that Texas brought in five quality DTs, the worst of which is probably a starter for an average P4 team, and the other four can play for anyone in the country to varying degrees. And given the amount of attention Simmons and Hill require from the offense, the DTs don't even have to be particularly special to be a problem
I think there's a chance that the Texas defense might be the best side of the ball in the country, and I suspect that Sark is looking to compliment that with an NFL-style under center/pistol early downs running/play-action offense (as opposed to an RPO shotgun early downs offense) that'll both help out the OL in the run game and help scheme WRs open into space, and then on 3rd and long you have Justin Herbert Arch Manning hero ball. Add in a high end punter, and this might be a 2021-2022 Georgia / 2023 Meat Chicken murderball squad
