Texas releases depth chart ahead of Baylor matchup

With game day approaching, the Longhorns are hoping to take advantage of the extra week to prepare for Baylor.

After losing back-to-back games in devastating fashion, and although they may be discouraged, Texas has a real chance to get back into Big 12 contention. A lot of occurrences beyond their control will need to happen in order to do so, but it’s very possible that the Longhorns will play in Dallas for the Big 12 title.

In both losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, the team started off strong in the first half, but the offense ran out of juice. The defense would eventually be broken down by the opposing team’s running game.

Baylor likely has a top 10 rush offense that could make life very difficult for a defense that cannot stop the run very well.

The Longhorns released the depth chart for the Baylor game on Tuesday, and for the most part it looks the same as it did last week. Here is who will be getting the start for Texas.

The offensive line unit from last week will get a second chance, with Tope Imade at right guard for his second career start being the only player that has not been a consistent starter.

In terms of the defense, DeMarvion Overshown is listed as the starter at weak side linebacker, which is a good sign considering he left the last game with a concussion. Everything is the same on defense as well, with Alfred Collins starting at at JACK for the second consecutive week, and Luke Brockermeyer still starting at the middle linebacker position ahead of Jaylan Ford, who many believe will see the field a lot more after his impressive performance last week.

The Texas staff believes in this group enough to keep pretty much everything the same, so the game will come down to preparation. More importantly, being able to play more consistent throughout the whole game.
