State of the Program: Grading the #1 Texas Longhorns

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Rod Babers and CJ Vogel grade every Texas position group through the first four games and identify what must improve for the Longhorns to reach the College Football Playoff. The offense earns an overall C, with Arch Manning needing to elevate his play, the offensive line struggling to create movement and a talented receiver room still waiting to be fully unleashed.

While the offense searches for consistency, Texas’ elite defensive front has carried the program to a 4–0 start. The panel examines Colin Simmons and a dominant pass rush, Justin Cryer’s emergence at linebacker and how Will Muschamp’s pressure packages protect the secondary. With eight consecutive SEC games ahead, can the offense make the massive leap Texas needs to remain a championship contender?
