Summary

College football is back in the Lone Star State. Texas officially kicks off the 2020 season this Saturday, Sept. 12 with a home opener against UTEP at 7 p.m. CT. The Longhorns opens the season as a heavy favorite over the Miners ahead of Texas' lone non-conference game of the year, but what happens after Week 1 will be something to closely follow as Tom Herman and the Longhorns look to make a Big 12 title run this season. On Monday's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast, FOX color analyst Joel Klatt joins the show for an in-depth preview of Texas and the Big 12 Conference. As part of the FOX Sports network's lead broadcast team, Klatt is slated to be covering Texas even more closely than in previous seasons with the altered changes for the college football season after the Big Ten and Pac-12 chose to postpone fall sports. Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and Klatt weigh in on the heavy hitters in the Big 12 this season and how Texas shapes up against the conference in Year 4 of the Herman era. The two discuss why 2020 could be the year for Texas to make a Big 12 title run and potentially land in the College Football Playoff, why Oklahoma still is a team to watch even after OU's revised schedule that features the Sooners facing some of the best defenses in the conference early in the year with a first-time starting quarterback leading the charge in redshirt freshman QB Spencer Rattler and what exactly to make of Oklahoma State in 2020. Catch all of that and more on Monday's episode of The Flagship Podcast.
