Texas Football: Mid-season report card for every position

How does each position group for both sides of the ball grade out for Texas football with the first half of a bittersweet regular season in the books?

Now that the 2018 campaign is halfway in the books for the Texas football program, the toughest part of the schedule is out of the way. If everything continues to go well for the Longhorns this year, an appearance in the 2018 Big 12 Championship Game should be right around the corner. However, a second half schedule that could be loaded with trap games looms difficult for Texas football.

Now that we’re officially at the halfway point of the 2018 campaign, it seems as if the Week 1 loss to the Maryland Terrapins was so long ago. The Big 12’s standing from top-to-bottom was so volatile in the first half of the regular season that the conference slate feels as if it’s gone on for much longer than it actually has.

Texas went from a team that was assumed to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 after Labor Day Weekend to one of the favorites to win the conference now. Knocking off the Oklahoma Sooners as an already top 25-ranked team will do that for the Horns.

At the halfway point, the Horns are carrying a record of 5-1 (3-0 Big 12). If not for that loss to Maryland, this would be a team in the top five directly contending for a spot in the College Football Playoff. The fact of the matter is that the Horns lost that game and there’s no room for slip-ups in any game, or for any position group, for the rest of the regular season.

Here’s a look at the midseason report card for every position group for the Texas Longhorns for the 2018 season.
