Adrian Hardy and J’Mar Smith will be looking to hook up again this year as they are back on the field together for the Bulldogs. However, one thing that the teams need to do is try to figure out how to balance out a running game for the team. The Bulldogs have a senior running back starting this year for the team in Jaqwis Dancy, but he was not a starter for the Bulldogs.
Defensively the Bulldogs run a 4-2-5 and that is definitely going to be a challenge for the Bulldogs this year as the entire line is going to be new. The challenge for that comes from the fact that the line while it is new is mainly upper classmen, but even then it will have some challenges with the regards to the size as the ends are well under the260 mark and that often makes it easier for them to be pushed around.

After winning the Sugar Bowl over the Bulldogs the Longhorns are looking to really ramp up the production from last year. What is really impressive is the fact that the Longhorns have a great quarterback who is one that should be able to make it to the pros this year in Sam Ehlinger. Last year he was able to really control the game with over 40 touchdowns on the year with the scoring and some of those scores came off of his running legs.
Defensively the Longhorns are facing some challenges on the year with the fact they are able to rebuild the team. However, one thing that the Longhorns have been able to do is groom a lot of the understudy players from last year and that definitely can help the team out quite a bit as the defense only has 3 starters who are coming back on this year.

The Longhorns defense is in the middle of the rebuilding process this year, but one thing that the Longhorns have been able to do is have the defense that had a lot of upper classmen coming into the year after backing up the starters last year. What else helps the Longhorns out is the fact that they have been able to build an offense around Ehlinger and that allows them to have a great game and season again. Final Score, Texas Longhorns win and cover ATS 45-10.
