Predicting the opening day offense for Texas football

Predicting Texasโ€™ starting quarterback for the foreseeable future

The Texas Longhorns named their starting quarterback this week. Quinn Ewers will get the nod over third-year player Hudson Card. However, there are still a few unknowns on the depth chart.

It appears Jaโ€™Tavion Sanders is emerging as the first string tight end. Behind him, Jahleel Billingsley, Juan Davis and Gunner Helm will battle for the second string designation.

Texas could operate often in two tight end sets, essentially making the second tight end a starter. Because of Isaiah Neyorโ€™s injury, Steve Sarkisian may lean towards players like Billingsley and Davis for their receiving ability and athleticism.

The offensive line is not much of a mystery unless Cole Hutson is unable to suit up Week 1. Hutson and Kelvin Banks figure to be among the freshman starters against Louisiana-Monroe.

Here is what the offensive lineup could look like for the first game.
