[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’re waiting for the Texas Longhorns’ resurgence, a team has struggled in recent years compared to their lofty expectations dating back to the departure of Colt McCoy. Naturally, Texas should have a consistent offense that pumps out NFL RB’s, NFL type bodies at WR, and a star QB paired with a nasty defense near the top of our CFF rankings.

We met with Scott Bogman, a Texas Longhorns and College Fantasy Football Expert, to discuss his expectations for the Horns in 2018. He also hosts the fantastic CFF On Campus podcast and another podcast titled In This League. Check out his work at Patreon and follow him on Twitter @BogmanSports.

Now let’s get to it, cue the Longhorns’ fight song.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][bsf-info-box icon=”Defaults-question” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#c2933a” title=”What are your general feelings and expectations for the Texas offense this season?”]

[wp-svg-icons icon=”volume-medium” wrap=”i” size=”20px”] I feel like the Texas offense is going to be improved in 2018, Ehlinger will get a 2nd year as the Texas starter which should hopefully help stabilize things a bit after 2 years of starting Freshman QBs. Tre Watson coming over from CAL and incoming Freshman Keaontay Ingram should be able to help the rushing game which was led by Sam Ehlinger last year at 381 yards. Collin Johnson, LJ Humphrey and Devin Duvernay are a fantastic trio of targets for Ehlinger and getting Andrew Beck back from the foot injury that ended his 2017 season before it began could actually bring some production from the TE position.

How do you see the RB rotation shaking out for Texas this season?”]

[wp-svg-icons icon=”volume-medium” wrap=”i” size=”20px”] The only thing that is clear about the Longhorns RB situation is that it isn’t clear at all. Tre Watson had a higher YPC than any of the Longhorns RBs, Keaontay Ingram is a stud freshman, Daniel Young had the most carries at RB for the Horns last year and Toneil Carter had the most promise but missed games with a concussion. No one is going to come in and take 300+ carries that D’Onta Foreman had in 2016 so I wouldn’t be gambling during a draft on one. Kenneth Farrow was the lead back at Houston for Herman and he never had 200 carries. I’m not sure if that’s an indicator for the backs at Texas but with a lot of talent in the backfield I wouldn’t expect a dominant back but we might see a rosterable one for CFF.

[/bsf-info-box][bsf-info-box icon=”Defaults-question” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#c2933a” title=”In a recent Expert Mock Draft for college fantasy football, you took Ehlinger somewhat early so I assume you’re confident he will be the starter over Buechele? What kind of production are you anticipating?”]

[wp-svg-icons icon=”volume-medium” wrap=”i” size=”20px”] I did take Ehlinger early in the recent mock that John Laub organized. In my opinion Ehlinger is the clear starter, I know the position battle between him and Buechele has a lot of people scared off but I really think that Ehlinger has the job wrapped up. For CFF we like guys that can run a little bit and like I stated above Ehlinger led the Longhorns in rushing yards last year and if he becomes a better passer I think he can really put up some great numbers. Ehlinger was also my ‘risk’ qb, I already had drafted Will Grier in the 1st round and that gave me the ability to take a gamble on a risky QB.

[/bsf-info-box][bsf-info-box icon=”Defaults-question” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#c2933a” title=”I’ve kept my eye on John Burt or Devin Duvernay or Collin Johnson for years, waiting for one of them to breakout and become a consistent top target but it hasn’t happened quite yet. Who will be the top targets at Wide Receiver this season?”]

[wp-svg-icons icon=”volume-medium” wrap=”i” size=”20px”] If I had my pick of the Texas WRs to draft I would take Collin Johnson. He has the size at 6’6″, he had the most receptions for the Longhorns and if Ehlinger can utilize that giant frame in the redzone he can be a monster. There is of course no guarantee but if I’m picking a Texas WR, he’s the one.

[/bsf-info-box][bsf-info-box icon=”Defaults-question” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#c2933a” title=”For the Dynasty Leaguers, who are the future studs from Texas in the coming years?”]

[wp-svg-icons icon=”volume-medium” wrap=”i” size=”20px”] I think the biggest dynasty target for the Longhorns is probably RB Keaontay Ingram who we mentioned earlier. WR Breenan Eagles and TE Malcolm Epps could also be potential future impact players as well.
