Texas named college football's second-best program
Â
Texas might have gone 6-7 in new coachCharlie Strong’s first year, but that hasn’t dented the Longhorns’ overall strength as a program, according to The Sporting News.
The publication picked Texas as the current No. 2 program in college football, writing:
So the Longhorns haven’t been relevant since 2009. Big deal. Walk around the football facilities in Austin; NFL teams are envious. Players (and coaches) lack for nothing, and have their own television network. They’re also the big dog (sorry, Texas A&M) in the state that pumps out more FBS talent than any other. When the Longhorns have it rolling with the right coach (see that?), recruits beg to play for them. Mack Brown was there in the early and mid 2000s; Charlie Strong will get there, too.
Defending national champion Ohio State was the only program ranked ahead of Texas.
Barring the Longhorns finding a franchise quarterback prior to the 2015 season, this next year could again be a bit of a rebuilding one, though Texas looks poised to make a potential major move in 2016 with a bevy of young talent that includes the No. 10 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite. That class in particular showed just how dangerous Strong could be … after a slow start, Strong and co. turned up the heat late, closing extremely well and inking the No. 1 player in the state in linebacker Malik Jefferson.
