Can texas improve in the red zone on offense?

Top 10 in red zone efficiency. Looks like a completely different offense in the RZ

Could the rush defense not take a huge step back after losing Murphy and Sweat?
Texas is a top 25 rush defense, ranked ahead of Bama, OU and Georgia. Top ranked scoring defense. Simply remarkable and Nansen has made a huge impact on this defense

Could someone step up at receiver?
Texas now has 4+ receivers that can take the top off a defense. I don't remember texas ever having that many receivers with this level of speed. The receivers have answered the bell. In particular Bond, wingo and Golden are bad dudes

Could the secondary improve drastically?
The group have been lights out and won't be tested much going forward in the regular season. Top 10 ranked pass defense and top ranked scoring defense

Could a TE step up?
Ironically Helm has been a better overall TE than Sanders and he's trending for a better season as a receiver. One of the best stories of the season so far. So good in fact that the Bama transfer has been an afterthought

Could ewers continue to ascend?
Leading heisman contender before he got hurt and has played lights out.


Just remarkable how much improvement we continue to see in the program year after year. And the depth and amount of high end young talent in the program is the best I've seen in a long time.
