- Cover 3 framed Texas as a high-talent roster in a broader discussion about teams that have enough pieces to make a serious run but still have to translate that talent into results.
- The panel pointed back through Steve Sarkisian's recent Texas teams as a positive baseline, noting they have been strong enough to reach the semifinals.

- The offense is at its best when the tight end can threaten defenses as both a blocker and receiver, making his progress an important ceiling variable.
