Gameplan: Did Texas recruit athletes who can win in space on NSD1?

Texas has come a ways since the Charlie Strong era. The already struggling roster was quickly gutted with suspensions and transfers, and some considerable Mack Brown mistakes were compounded by Strong’s initial choices with offensive staffing. However, thanks to Strong's eye for talent and some of the recruiting and development by later add-ons such as Jeff Traylor, Jay Norvell, and Matt Mattox, Texas was able to rebuild the infrastructure of the roster.

But you couldn't tell by speaking with him. His goals remain the same; score touchdowns and win state. Both are still attainable.
