Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe tackle several Texas-related topics on this week's episode of "Longhorn Blitz," starting with Quinn Ewers. How close is the Longhorns' starting quarterback to being considered elite? Where is Ewers trending as he enters what's expected to be his final season on the Forty Acres?

The guys also continue to examine the Texas defense and how the arrival of Johnny Nansen might help Pete Kwiatkowski make up for some major personnel losses from last season.

Is it fair to expect Texas to be in an expanded College Football Playoff field annually under Steve Sarkisian? That's also part of the discussion on this week's show.

The Flagship: Texas continues to add from the transfer portal

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe discuss the addition of former San Jose State cornerback Jay'Vion Cole from the NCAA transfer portal and Quinn Ewers' history with the deep ball. Cole brings a lot to the table for a Texas secondary starved for more athletes who can be sticky in coverage and while Ewers has struggled to consistently hit on the deep ball down the field, he improved a lot in that department in 2023 and could be even better in 2024.
