I'm wanting some football talk

Will UT and OU be able to restore the conference to the natural order of things, or will TCU and Baylor continue

UT's coach Strong has proven himself to be a good coach in the past. While last season's Texas team was not what the UT faithful view as their divine right to go undefeated, he now has a year's experience with the horns. Will that make a difference?

Strong is losing (or for some of you, loosing) a couple of studs defensively. Would we expect them to simply re-load, or will their defense be less effective? After Strong ran off 7 players last year (and likely there will be more losses this off-season as there are in most programs

How about their offense. Is the qb going to be the next coming of VY, or will he continue

OU--who is their qb? I believe this will be a weakness, but maybe not a death blow. They may have the best running backs around, which can offset a shaky qb position to an extent. I'm not familiar with their graduations on O line or on D. Did they lose some great talent? Will they be the same OU team we saw against Baylor?

Just wondering what some of you think who have more knowledge of their respective depth charts.
