Given Ehlinger is likely to be the starter combined with his rather below average ability to push the ball downfield accurately, Duvernay and to some extent, Johnson, will struggle to put up better than pedestrian numbers.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Tom Herman is all-in on the 2018 Longhorns ...)

Hurts was an early enrollee and there's thought that he could be a grad transfer and able to play immediately.
Trout is better than Mays at this point in his career. He just needs the longevity now. He will end up being the best player to ever play when it's over.
Don't you OB bro'? Hurts would not start at Texas other than maybe RB. His combined 7K yds and 60 TDs in his first 2 seasons were a simple fluke.
Agree, but right now, much like you only have to outswim your buddy if a shark is coming at both of you in the water, Hudson only has to be better than Rodriguez, which quite frankly is not a terribly high level.
No way we lose to Okey St and Tech.They've lost their quarterbacks and up and down they don't have the talent to beat us
Not to mention that it can create some misguided emotions amongst the rest of the team. THe bottom line is that the winner of some stupid f'n QB Circle Drill doesn't mean sh*t if the winner can move the offense.
Wouldn’t be shocked.
Conference is wide open and other teams lost a lot especially at QB
Don’t know if it happens but a greater chance than only winning 7
You think there's a better chance that this team with major issues all over the offense will win the Big 12 than win seven games?
this. you know, he's just has to chunk some controversy in there. this team was in every game last year sans TCU with a terrible OL and a fish QB and Herman could be in trouble? Herman's on the "hot seat" talk shouldn't even be mentioned at this point.
Quite honestly, any Jalen Hurts thread on OB ends up being one of the most humorous and head-shaking ones you will find. Been that way ever since they started the day after the title game. FWIW, I don't expect any decision by Hurts to transfer, if any, before the December. But if for some reason he picks up the phone and calls Herman today TH would be a GD fool to not listen and listen hard.
I’m not predicting Texas wins the big 12 this year. The poster that did isn’t normally connected to hyperbole though. Contending isn’t wild
If Herman is the coach we think he is this teams wins 8-9 games and a bowl with the likely state of the big 12 this year. I don’t subscribe to this team being no better than last year..or worse.
No one said Herman was on the shot seat.
What was said is that Herman KNOWS this season is critical to him remaining off of it.
Nothing controversial about that. There's a reason why only a couple of people have mentioned it in this thread.
No, you said it's more likely that it wins the Big 12 than wins seven games. That's what I'm commenting on, not you predicting that it will happen.
If Texas only wins 7 it’s pretty much a disaster season for Herman so yeah, I think there is a greater chance of not having that happen. This is a big year especially with other teams in the conference losing talent/breaking in new QBs etc
If Herman only wins 7 games and then has to reset his coaching staff in the off season it will be a bad sign.
yeah, but you know what you were doing. i've been here too long not to see the tiny, insignificant bb gun shot you made. IMO, there's no need to even mention that at this point. but, what do I know.

Everyone was predicting 9-10 wins last season too. The QB position is still terrible and the OL is what the OL has looked like for a decade... CRAP.
Discussing important topics related to Texas football is what we do here. We don't just ignore truths because they are uncomfortable. That's what Aggies do.
