Texas’ Kyle Flood believes he has eight OL with which he can win games

Conference championship contenders need eight offensive linemen to realistically compete. Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood believes he has his eight. It’s part of what makes this roster more fortified against a late-season falloff than past Longhorns teams.
You need eight quality offensive linemen to safeguard against injury. Having a strong top five doesn’t matter all that much if one or two get injured. Due to the physical nature of the position and the inherent lack of balance in pass protection, it’s difficult to go a full season with five healthy linemen. Texas might not have to worry about that.

We feel strongly about the starting five and its ability after last season. The line is perhaps the best pass blocking unit in the conference. The backups are ready to make impact as well led by DJ Campbell, Cam Williams and Neto Umeozulu.
The 2022 offensive line class illustrates that one good offensive line class can transform the entire unit. Texas will look to maximize its collection of four- and five-star linemen to a 10-win season in 2023.
