Summary

The Longhorns have reached the midway point of preseason training camp and some players have begun to separate themselves from the competition at several positions on the roster. While the emergence of guys at some positions is a big positive for the Longhorns, Texas still has significant questions that need to be answered prior to the Sept. 12 kickoff against UTEP. On the mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes dissect the Longhorns' progress following the second scrimmage of fall camp, which historically is the most important scrimmage in preseason practice. The Flagship breaks down the players who have rose to the occasion in position battles and continue to impress as Texas makes its way towards the start of the 2020 season, and those who have a lot of work to do before securing a starting job for the Longhorns. Chip and Taylor also focus on the positions that remain a concern for Texas, including linebacker and wide receiver. The battle at linebacker has led to some unexpected names being mentioned among players who are standing out, but what's going on with the more veteran guys at the position whose names have not been talked about as much as one may expect at this point in practice? After a very quick break, The Flagship then shifts its focus on the preseason AP Top 25 Poll, which had Texas ranked No. 14 in the country ahead of Year 4 of the Tom Herman era before bringing in the weekly 'Love it or Leave it' segment. Topics mentioned in this week's 'Love it or Leave it' segment include the emergence of Roschon Johnson at running back, what UT students return to campus means for the football team, if the AP Poll got it right with ranking Texas at No. 14 and if the Dallas Cowboys should consider adding Texas Ex and 7-time Pro Bowler Earl Thomas to the roster. Catch all of that and more on the mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast.
