Every fan base that didn't finish with a conference championship expects the team to be better the following year. Of course we all know that just as often as not, the team gets worse or doesn't take a step forward. With that said, its hard to see how Texas won't improve in 2016.
OC: We had Watson (terrible) for a game then essentially did not have an OC for the remainder of the year. Along with that, we essentially had no offensive scheme.
QB: We have Buchele now, but even if he is a total bust, we still have the previous two starters. Hard to see how we could get less production out of this group.
RB: Yes, Foreman and Warren were on the roster last year, but the coaches stubbornly gave Grey, who was not 100%, a majority of the carries for the first eight games. Foreman started breaking big run after big run, on limited carries, and in the last third of the season finally started getting more reps.
WR: Burt and Foreman have a year under their belt, and are now joined by Johnson, a giant, and Duvernay, who no one we play, on any team, will be able to keep up with.
Secondary: All the stars last year were freshman. Enough said.
Linebacker: We have one of, if not the best, in the country, who again, was a freshman last year.
O-line: Again, the two stars in this unit last year were freshman, and we add the best recruit in the country for early depth who will eventually probably start.
D-line: This is going to be an adventure the first few games, but we recruited 5 top class linemen, and by mid season I expect this unit to be a strength.
Kicker: Kicking alone cost us two wins last year. A grad transfer fell out of the sky.
Of course everything could go horribly wrong, but there are many, many reasons to expect this group to improve.
