Texas Is Loaded. So Why Don't We Fully Trust Them?

Texas may have one of the most talented rosters in college football, with Arch Manning back at quarterback, Cam Coleman joining the receiver room, an upgraded backfield and a defense now coordinated by Will Muschamp. On paper, there is very little missing from a team that went 10-3 last season and enters 2026 with legitimate SEC and College Football Playoff expectations.

In this Texas football preview, we explain why the Longhorns still leave us with more questions than expected, from the physicality of the offensive line to consistency on third down and whether all of the talent can finally peak at the same time. Add in what may be the toughest schedule in the country, and a roster that looks capable of winning the SEC still has very little margin for error. .
