As we optimistically look toward football season, we continue our march through the Texas Longhorns' 2020 schedule, previewing the Week 3 matchup against the UTEP Miners.

UTEP has struggled under its new head coach, managing just two wins in the last two seasons. They have experience returning on offense, but must replace the top three tacklers from a season ago defensively. So what will the Miners look like as they come to Austin?

On Friday, several Texas Longhorns from multiple sports posted in unison a list of requests of the university, with the aim of making changes on campus and in the athletic programs. Renaming buildings and structures, highlighting different aspects of the university's history - both positive and negative, allocating resources to social programs and outreach, as well as the potential change of the school song.

As two Texas graduates, we take some time to unpack our feelings on the potential changes and discuss what we think the potential changes coming to the university.

We are 95 days away from the Texas Longhorns' kickoff against the USF Bulls, which means it's time to start working through the schedule to preview every team on Texas' schedule. To start, we reached out to Nathan Bond, Managing Editor at The Daily Stampede to give us some insight into the Bulls.

USF and Texas are in a similar situation, both schools had a major coaching upheaval at the end of 2019 and missed out on the crucial acclamation period of spring football. How will the Bulls make the transition to a new coaching staff and what should we expect to see on September 5.
