Summary

College football is back in the Lone Star State as Texas prepares for the Week 1 home opener against UTEP to kickoff the 2020 season. The Longhorns open the year as a heavy, 43-point favorite over the 1-0 Miners as fourth-year head coach Tom Herman prepares for a significant season in his career in Austin, Texas. On this week's mid-week episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes dive into the Week 1 match up against UTEP, covering everything Texas fans need to know entering Saturday's home game. The Flagship opens the show breaking down the first depth chart of the season before shifting focus to what Herman said earlier this week pertaining to the head coach's thoughts on the strengths of his team, and more importantly, the concerns he has for the Longhorns entering the season. Chip and Taylor also discuss the latest news from the Longhorns themselves after they had the chance to speak with the media this week, including some underclassmen Texas fans need to pay attention to according to the player's perspective. After a very short break, The Flagship returns with the weekly 'Love it or leave it' segment, with topics including if Texas can actually cover a 43-point spread, what to expect from the running back position, how much of a factor the limited capacity stadium will impact the Longhorns home opener and much more! Catch all of that and more on Wednesday's episode of The Flagship Podcast!
