LC and Paul Wadlington preview the Texas defense. Where is Texas likely to improve? Where could the Horns back slide?

LC and Paul start with a discussion about the depth at linebacker. Some familiar names like Anthony Hill Jr. and David Gbenda dot the top of the depth chart, but there’s promise with players like Morice Blackwell, Liona Lefau, and others.

The two then look at the 2023 pass defense. Some of the raw statistics aren’t kind, but raw statistics only tell so much of the tale. How can Texas match pressure and coverage in 2024? The two dive in.

Kenny Baker and Johnny Nansen, new coaches on the 40 Acres, are the next topic of discussion. How will they affect the product on the field?

Finally, the two look at Texas’ defensive line. Alfred Collins and Vernon Broughton are known commodities, but Texas made a number of additions in the transfer portal.
