Keaontay Ingram is no longer the clear-cut starter at running back. He may not even be the No. 2 guy right now, but that made little effect on the effort given by Ingram against Oklahoma State in his two carries.
Texas’ top four running backs include one player from each classification. Daniel Young is a senior, Keaontay Ingram is a junior, Roschon Johnson is a sophomore, and incoming five-star Bijan Robinson is a freshman.
Team intel post-Rice and looking forward to Oklahoma State in Austin this weekend. We also catch up on recruiting including the early visitor list for Saturday in the Inside Scoop.
The real story of the LSU game and potentially this season was Texas' spread passing attack. The Longhorns torched the Tigers from empty formations in a fashion reminiscent of the 2008 or 2009 Longhorns under Colt McCoy. A really good empty passing attack led by a mobile QB that can read defenses and react quickly can be truly nightmarish for opponents.
Last year we tracked Texas' burgeoning run game under Herb Hand with the weekly run game report where I broke down the concepts and results of the Longhorn rushing attack. Although part of me wonders if the emphasis this year might be more on the passing game, we're still bringing it back for another go round.
