BIG 12 2018-2019

OU and Texas Tech have dominated the conference the past few years and with Tech losing their coach the Sooners became the clear favorite. OU ended up having a mediocre year and Baylor who went out and hired coach Ken Dorsey got everything they could ask for and more. The Bears ran through the conference going undefeated for the season. They were ranked #3 in the country going into conference championship week and after #2 Ohio State got upset the Bears secured a spot in the BCS National Championship against #1 North Carolina. The Bears would go on to beat UNC 31-30 in OT in a thrilling game giving the Bears and Ken Dorsey their first National Championships respectively. Baylor also got their 2nd Heisman trophy winner ever in RB Terence Williams.

Rumor Mill is Spinning

Stories are spreading across the conference of coach Rico Suave seeking a new job if offered. He has been at SMU for 6 years, and recently signed a 6 year extension. He was able to get his team selected for a move from the AAC to the Big 12. In his time in the Big 12 he was able to lead the SMU Mustangs to 2 winning seasons, with the most recent one bringing them into the Top 25 rankings. With an upcoming bowl game, let's hope this rumor doesn't affect the attitude of the players moving forward.

Texas 2025/26 offensive preview: With the departure of star Qb W.Gonzales to the pros, this is first time Coach Dorsey has to name a new starting Qb at Texas. Gonzales isn't easy to replace either, he led the nation in passing yards and was near the top in td's thrown the last 2 years. We've heard from Coach Dorsey today that he's named highly recruited true freshman Jermaine Yates as the starter. Yates is out of Turlock, California and enrolled early at Texas for a chance to play early. Sophomore Rb R. Smith is still the starting Rb. Smith was a true freshman last yr and started 9 or 10 games. In the Texas offense after Qb, the WR position is probably the most important position. Outside of J.Cummings the JR WR who has basically been a starter since he was a true freshman, the #2, #3, #4 Wr's all have question marks around them. Kane the #2 Wr is a former JUCO recruit who has problems catching the ball. #3 and #4 Wr's are both former highly recruited recruits with Mckinley being the #1 WR recruit and Moore being the #5 WR in the same class. Both are RS freshmans and have never played a down of college football. Texas does have a very good TE in SR Tate but like Kane, he drops the ball too much. Oline lost 3 starter's so we'll see how the new guys play. Especially the true freshman at LT. Texas is thin at OL, thanks to the former coaching staff, so any injury will be huge. Defense preview will be out shortly.

Texas 2025/26 Defensive preview: The defense should be the teams strength this season. Dline is led by M.Mongomery, who is now a 3 year starter at RE. Texas did lose 2 great DT's to the pros and will have 2 new starters there. With LB M.Walker leaving sophomores D.Rich and A.Huffman, will now both be full time starters at LB. They both split time at MLB last year. Rich is now the starting LOLB and Huffman at MLB. To everyones surprise LB D.Johnson decided to return for his senior season. Johnson is the leader of the defense and last season led the nation in tackles with 104. In the Big 12 with the amount of spread teams, you basically need 4 starting CB. With Texas landing highly recruited CB D.Jean the coaches feel like they have their 4 this year.The only problem the Texas CB's have is getting int's. They had 2 combined int's last yr. They need to do better, especially in a passing conference. Just like with Johnson returning, the Coaches were shocked that both FS J.Alexander and SS N.Bennett didn't go pro. Both should be impact players this year.
