Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel break down four plays that reveal how Texas can protect Arch Manning and punish defenses for blitzing. From quick throws to Jermaine Bishop and Derrek Cooper to a one-on-one shot for Cam Coleman and Emmett Mosley’s motion creating space for Ryan Wingo, the Longhorns already possess answers capable of keeping the offense ahead of the chains.
