OMG! What an off season we’ve had! Lamar Jackson from the Ravens

finally getting his new contract at $260 million only to be outdone by

Justin Herbert form the Chargers for $262.5 million and then we have

Joe Borrow from Bengals who’s expected to get even more! Can’t wait

to see what Mahomes gets in his new updated deal. This is CRAZY! Or is

it? Keep in mind that Amazon Prime paid $11 billion for Thursday Night

Football. NFL is consistently the most watched program year after year.

In 2022, 18 of the top 20 shows on Sunday Night Football and the other

two were the Super Bowl and the NCAA National Championship game.

I guess money really does talk. Speaking more about football, this year

KTSM is introducing the Big Ten football in prime time on Saturday nights!

This along with Notre Dame makes KTSM NBC the station to lock in!

I recently had a nice conversation with UTEP head coach Dimel and he

kinda blushed when I asked him how he thought UTEP would look? His

body language indicated that UTEP will be really good. Expect a crowded

stadium because everyone loves a winner. Speaking of winners, how

about them NMSU Aggies? After losing their first four games, they end

up winning a bowl game! And they’re chomping at the bit for the I-10

rematch with UTEP to avenge their 20-13 loss of last year. This should

be a great game.

We all know that football is big and High School football has even gotten

bigger. This year’s Ultimate Football Guide is celebrating 15 years

and every year seems to only get better. I had an opportunity to talk to

a couple of El Paso’s Fine 9 players and I was really impressed with how

they handled themselves and how respectful they were. Congratulations

to the parents of these kids for raising some true gentlemen. For

more on High School football and the Fine 9 check out this year’s UFG

on KTSM.com. Also, check out all schedules for the NFL, UTEP, NMSU,

Texas, A&M, Notre Dame and Texas Tech.

Enjoy the 15th edition of the Ultimate Football Guide and keep tuned in

Best,

By Dave Burge

“Been Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” That’s Carrie Underwood’s iconic theme song for

NBC’s prime time football extravaganza “Sunday Night Football ”. For many true believers,

the long wait for the return of NFL football is almost over. It has been six exceedingly

long months since the Kansas City Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in four years

back in February.

This year, the SNF slate will offer 19 games, including two on Thursday – the season opener

and on Thanksgiving night. The schedule gets off to a rip-roaring start on Thursday, Sept.

7 when the Detroit Lions take on the defending world champion Chiefs. Three days later

on Sept. 10, the Dallas Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to take on division rival New York

Giants in a matchup that is usually one of the most physical games of the entire season.

Other SNF matchups of note include:

Pittsburgh Steelers at Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 24, with the return of one of

the NFL’s most intense and historic rivalries.

Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Oct. 8, again another one of the

league’s most fabled rivalries and two of the NFL’s most successful franchises.

Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday, Nov. 5, matching two of the AFC’s recent

success stories. Last year’s game between the same two teams was postponed and then

canceled when Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field after making

a tackle. Fortunately, Hamlin is OK and has been cleared to return to the football field.

Needless to say, the drama will be thick in this one.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle on Thursday, Nov. 23, in the nightcap of a day of football

on Thanksgiving.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, Sunday, Dec. 10, in another NFC East showdown.

For the second year in a row, Mike Tirico will handle play-by-play duties with his sidekick

Cris Collinsworth providing color commentary. Melissa Stark will be the sideline reporter.

Studio hosts and analysts include Maria Taylor, Tony Dungy, Jason Garrett, Chris Simms,

Mike Florio and Rodney Harrison. Sunday Night Football has been primetime TV’s toprated

show for 12 straight years and it’s easy to see why. You can watch all the games

on KTSM. You can also catch the action on NBC’s streaming service Peacock available

with paid subscription.

Year 4 for Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.

Year 3 for Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

Year 8 for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Year 3 for Cowboys “lionbacker” Micah Parsons.

And here they go, the Dallas Cowboys 2023 setting their sights on goals for

the first time since, well, at times seemingly forever ago.

Like finishing with a winning record three consecutive seasons for the first

time since four straight from 2006-09, that being 14 years ago.

Like recording three consecutive double-digit winning seasons since

the six straight from 1991-96, that being 27 years ago.

Like qualifying for the playoffs three consecutive seasons

for the first time since those six straight from 1991-96, that

being 27 years ago.

Like advancing to the NFC Championship game, let alone

the Super Bowl, for the first time in 28 seasons, having to go

back to 1995 for both.

And all these are the goals for 2023, quite possibly the expectations,

too, after five consecutive 12-5 seasons, consecutive playoff

appearances and offensively led by a quarterback having

qualified for the playoff in four of his first seven

seasons, with one of those three non playoff years

derailed by a season-ending injury five games into

the 2020 season.

Then defensively trying to become elite, led by that

position-less player energizing this renaissance

over his only two seasons, waking up the ghosts of

playoffs past in this franchise’s 64th season when

at one point fans must have thought winning seasons

and playoff appearances were their inalienable

right.

In trying to enhance their chances of accomplishing

this continued makeover the Cowboys acquired two

players with pre-draft trades to fill positions of need,

bringing in veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks and

veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore, fortifying the

offense by seriously upgrading the wide receiver

corps and making this surging defense whole with

the addition or the corner.

Add to that first round draft choice Mazi Smith,

a much-needed space-eater inside at defensive

tackle, the re-signing of their two leading tacklers

from 2022, safety Donovan Wilson and linebacker

Leighton Vander Esch, while franchising running

back Tony Pollard, signing restricted free agent

offensive tackle Terence Steele to a one-year re-

stricted free agent contract and the signing of veteran defensive tackle Johnathan

Hankins, another large individual with run-stopping prowess.

And while the Cowboys of 2022 matched their second most points scored in a single

season with the 467 since the 479 of 1983 – 530 the franchise record set in 2021

with a 17-game season asterisk – and third most in franchise history, this Cowboys

defense must take a step toward being elite if the Cowboys are to take the next step

up in the playoffs.

Consider this? In two losses last season, both in overtime, the Cowboys scored 28

and 34 points, yet losing 31-28 to Green Bay and 40-34 to Jacksonville, although the

Jaguars walk-off touchdown was scored on an interception return. But please, scoring

34 on the road should have been enough to bet a playoff team. And this team gave

up 26 points in the two other losses.

Enter Micah Parsons, sometimes a linebacker, sometimes a defensive end, sometimes

a blitzer anywhere across the line of scrimmage and both times during his two seasons

as a Pro Bowler and All-Pro.

“Man, I’m ready to take everybody to the deep water,’’ Parsons said of the next step this

defense must take. “Everybody comfortable with their knees in the water. I’m ready to

go out to the deep water. I hope everybody prepared to go into the deep water.

“I’m going to push you like that and I want to see how you’re going to be able to swim.

You know what I’m saying?’’Parsons didn’t stop there with his aquatic analogy.

“Man, you got to see if they can swim,” Parsons continued. “I’m gonna take them on an

island. You know what I’m saying. I’m taking them to the island. I’m going to push like

that, and I want to see how you able to swim.”And what we’re talking here is a defense

returning eight starters if we go back to the end of the season, and one that significantly

needs to improve against the run, having allowed at least 117 yards rushing in

11 of the 17 games, and at least 136 in all five losses, plus another 113 in the 19-12

playoff loss to San Francisco.

Yet this defense’s calling card has been takeaways, leading the NFL with 33 this past

season following their league-leading 34 the previous year, thus becoming the first

team to lead the NFL in takeaways during consecutive seasons since the Pittsburgh

Steelers from 1972-74.

But for these Cowboys, with McCarthy now calling the plays on offense and Brian

Schottenheimer his offensive right-hand man, this team knows resting on previous

laurels is no option. No one grandfathers

you into the playoffs again just because

of your previous appearances the past

two seasons.

“I’m just tired of like being second, tired

of coming up short,” Parsons said. “What

can I do every day to put myself in the best

position to say, ‘I can live with that, and so

far, I haven’t been able to live with the fact

of us losing 19-12, us losing that wildcard game

my rookie year.”

“I told this to the guys: ‘Is the price of discipline

worth a lifetime of regret?’ For me, it just don’t.

You only got so long, you only got this edge

for so long to get a real shot at this and I do

believe we really got a shot at this.”

So here they go, and as McCarthy said at

the outset of training camp, “If you want to

break that door down, you first got to be on

the front porch.”

Well, the Cowboys have been on the “porch.” Now it’s high

time for them all to go in.

In 2006, the Houston Texans made a pivotal decision that would have far-reaching

consequences for their franchise’s future. With the first pick in the second round

of the NFL Draft, they selected Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans, passing on

other promising linebackers D’Qwell Jackson and Rocky McIntosh. Then-head

coach Gary Kubiak expressed his surprise at Ryans’ availability and the Texans’

good fortune in landing him.

Fast forward to 2023, and DeMeco Ryans has come full circle. After a successful

NFL career and earning a spot as a beloved figure among Texans fans, Ryans

returned to Houston, not as a player, but as their head coach. Despite the team’s

recent struggles, Ryans saw potential in the organization and expressed a strong

desire to be back in “H-Town.”

The Texans’ recent history hadn’t been rosy, with a lackluster roster, quarterback

uncertainties, and a dysfunctional front office leading to disappointing seasons.

Nevertheless, Ryans’ hiring brought newfound hope to the franchise. His experience

as a Pro Bowl linebacker and his successful tenure as the defensive coordinator

for the San Francisco 49ers made him a compelling candidate for the

head coaching role.

The 2023 NFL Draft marked another critical turning point for the

Texans. They invested in their future by selecting quarterback

C.J. Stroud and pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. with their top-three

draft picks. While the cost to trade up for Anderson was steep,

the Texans believed in their picks and hoped they would lay the

foundation for a brighter future.

As the team moved forward, some analysts expressed cautious

optimism for the Texans. They acknowledged the signs of

improvement and believed in Ryans’ coaching abilities,

but also recognized that the team still had areas to

address before becoming a top contender.

The SEC won’t be alone in shifting the tectonic plates of college football in

2024. When Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC next year, UCLA and USC will

officially make a similarly-jarring move by jumping to the Big Ten.

It’s all happening as the Big Ten tries to challenge the SEC as college football’s

premier league. A new, seven-year, $7 billion television rights deal begins this

season and brings many of the conference’s games to NBC and, by proxy,

KTSM for some prime-time clashes.

Once again, Michigan and Ohio State figure to be in the mix as powerhouses

in the sport. The arch-rivals both qualified for the four-team College Football

Playoff in 2022 and Ohio State has played in 10 consecutive New Year’s Six

games.

The Buckeyes and Wolverines nearly met for the national title, too, but they

were knocked off in the semifinals in narrow defeats at the hands of Georgia

and TCU, respectively.

The Big Ten conversation has to start with those two, but Penn State is next in

line after an 11-2 2022 campaign that ended in a Rose Bowl win. The Nittany

Lions could be dark horse contenders once again in the brutal Big Ten East.

In the Big Ten West, Wisconsin has a new head coach in Luke Fickell, who will

try to bring the Badgers back to prominence with a new quarterback in SMU

transfer Tanner Mordecai. Iowa should once again have a stout defense, but

they must find more consistency offensively. Illinois, Maryland and Michigan

State all will hope to compete as well.

Michigan is Phil Steele’s pick to win the Big Ten this year behind the play of

quarterback JJ McCarthy and running back Blake Corum, who is a preseason

Heisman Trophy hopeful.

Don’t be surprised if the conference title once again comes down to the Ohio

State-Michigan showdown on Nov. 25, like it has each of the last two seasons.

Make no mistake: no one at UTEP felt good about how the Miners’ 2022 football season

played out. After a winning season in 2021 and a trip to the New Mexico Bowl, expectations

were high for UTEP in 2022. Instead, they fell flat, going 5-7 and missing out on a bowl game.

UTEP is now flying under the radar going into Dana Dimel’s sixth year in El Paso, just the way

the Miners like it in a new-look Conference USA. “We feel comfortable as an underdog, but

we also feel like we have a really good team coming back, a really athletic team. We’ve got

a tough schedule, but we’re looking forward to that,” Dimel said.

Offense

In order to succeed, UTEP needs a bounce-back year from quarterback Gavin Hardison in

his final season. After a stellar year in 2021, Hardison regressed in 2022, throwing for 2,044

yards, with a ho-hum 52.1 completion percentage.

Dimel has taken on a bigger role within the quarterbacks room this year, participating in

meetings with Hardison and first-year offensive coordinator Scotty Ohara. “I’m looking for

Gavin to have an outstanding season for us,” Dimel said. “I think being in the room more as

a play-caller is important.” With nine offensive starters back, Hardison will have plenty of

weapons. The running back room is stacked with veteran Deion Hankins (701 yards, three

touchdowns), junior college transfer Mike Franklin and multiple unproven talents, like Torrance

Burgess. Former Americas High School star Aaron Dumas also transferred to UTEP

from Washington, but will need an NCAA waiver to play in 2023.

The Miners brought in some talent at the wide receiver position, including UTSA transfer

Dre Spriggs to pair with returners Kelly Akharaiyi and Jeremiah Ballard. But UTEP’s biggest

acquisition of the offseason was getting leading receiver Tyrin Smith back.

Smith left for Texas A&M in January, but had second thoughts and returned to UTEP. The

Miners will gladly take his 71 catches for 1,039 yards and seven touchdowns from 2022. “I

truly wanted to be back with a team I bonded with from the beginning,” Smith said. “The ceiling

is high for this team to go out there and win it all. Everyone is bought in.”

UTEP’s offensive line might be its best unit, as it returns four starters. Dimel said the line

grades out as one of the best in college football. The Miners hope that veterans Steven

21


22 KTSM 9 / ULTIMATE FOOTBALL GUIDE | 2023 / KTSM.COM


Hubbard, Justin Mayers, Andrew Meyer and Elijah Klein can protect Hardison

so he can return to his 2021 form, plus open up holes for Hankins to have a true

breakout season.

Defense

Defensively, seven starters return, led by edge rusher Praise Amaewhule, leading

tackler Tyrice Knight at linebacker (95 tackles) and safety Kobe Hylton.

There’s more depth on UTEP’s defense than what the Miners have had in years

past, particularly up front as Amaewhule is joined by Keenan Stewart and others.

“I love the way we play together as a team. (Defensive coordinator) Bradley

Dale Peveto brings an energy to the team that makes it good to play for him,”

said Amaewhule. “You always love being the underdog, we like being doubted.”

Knight could’ve transferred to any school in the nation for his final season, but

chose to stay in El Paso for one final run at UTEP. He’ll be joined by James Neal

and Jerome Wilson in the linebacking corps. Hylton is back to lead the secondary

and could be an all-conference player. Cornerback Torey Richardson returns

after missing all of 2022 with a knee injury. New Mexico transfer AJ Odums and

Latrez Shelton will man the other cornerback spot, which McKel Broussard and

Josiah Allen round out the unit.

Special Teams

Buzz Flabiano and Mark Ramos will compete for the kicking role in fall camp to

replace Gavin Baechle, who graduated. Josh Sloan returns as the Miners’ punter

and Marcus Bellon will return kicks and punts, after housing a punt vs. Boise

State last year.

Outlook

“It would be a heck of an accomplishment to go to a bowl game two out of three

years. It would be only the second time in the history of the program, so there’s

a lot to play for,” Dimel said.

If UTEP can navigate a tough first six games and get more consistent play from

Hardison, a bowl game is surely in the cards. It’s possible the Miners could make

a run late in the season at a CUSA title.

In 2022, New Mexico State went from

underdogs to top dogs. The Aggies

started the season with four straight

losses, but ended the season with a 7-6

record and as Quick Lane Bowl champions

with a victory over Bowling Green.

The Aggies exceeded expectations in

every way in Jerry Kill’s first year as head

coach, winning just the second bowl

game in 60 years. Now, expectations

have been raised for the program as it

approaches its second year of the Kill

era in Las Cruces, and most importantly,

its first in Conference USA.

“The expectations are higher. I think

we recruited really well,” Kill said. “Going

into a new conference, every one

of them have good coaches, so I think

there’ll be a lot of close games and we’re

going to have to learn how to win the

close games.”

Offense

The Aggies return nine starters from

the 2022 squad, including senior quarterback

Diego Pavia. Pavia returns with

more confidence after he caught fire in

the back end of the season. The 2022

Quick Lane Bowl MVP started the last

five games of the season and collected

934 passing yards, 350 rushing yards,

and 14 total touchdowns to lead the

Aggies to a 4-1 record.

This year, Pavia is hungry for more success

on the offensive side of the ball

that returns a lot of familiar faces.

“It’s a new beginning and we’ve just got

more weapons on offense,” Pavia said.

“Really, it’s just building a chemistry

with them so it can help us offensively

and then from there get a feel of our

personnel and get ready for week one.”

Star Thomas (107 carries, 107 rushing

yards, 5 TD), Jamoni Jones (111 carries,

383 rushing yards, 6 TD), and Ahmonte

Watkins (39 carries, 248 rushing yards,

4 TD) make up the Aggies’ loaded running

back group.

Kordell David Jr. (343 receiving yards,

4 TD), and Jonathan Brady (23 receptions,

310 yards, 3 TD) will be the returnees

to watch at the wide receiver

position. Thomaz Whitford (12 receptions,

82 yards, 2 TD) returns for another

year at tight end.

Four starters, who combined for 51 career

starts, return to the offensive line.

Look out for transfers Jacob Golden

(Boise State) and Cedric Claiborne (Trinity

Valley CC, originally UTSA) as well

on the line.

Always NEARBY to

New Mexico State University puts dreams within reach.

knowledge accessible. NMSU serves students — no matter their stage in life or location in the world — by providing

24 KTSM 9 / ULTIMATE FOOTBALL GUIDE | 2023 / KTSM.COM


Defense

Despite losing several key starters

like linebackers Trevor Brohard and

Chris Ojoh and defensive backs Bryce

Jackson and Syrus Dumas, Kill is still

confident the defense, led by defensive

coordinator Nate Dreiling, has a

chance to top what they did last year.

“We recruited very well on that side

of the ball. Secondary wise, defensive

line wise, we are going to be better,” Kill

said. “I look for us to exceed what we

did a year ago because we have more

actual talent on that side of the ball.”

The Aggies allowed just 336 yards

per game and 23.9 points per game

in 2022, but NMSU returns just four

starters in 2023. Headlining the returnees

is defensive back Andre Seldon

(44 total tackles, one interception,

four passes defended). New names to

look out for include linebacker Jamari

Buddin (Penn State transfer), defensive

backs Keonte Glinton (Wyoming

transfer) and Jordan Vincent (Eastern

Illinois transfer) and defensive tackle

Dion Wilson (Arizona transfer).

Special Teams

NMSU lost punter Josh Carlson (Arizona

State) to the transfer portal and added

Zach Haynes, a Southeast Missouri transfer,

to possibly fill Carlson’s spot. Ethan

Albertson, a redshirt senior, returns at the

kicker position. Albertson went 7-of-10

on field goals with his longest being 46

yards last year.

Outlook

2023 is set to be a big year for New

Mexico State. The program is coming

off a bowl victory and will compete in an

FBS conference for the first time since

2017. There will be an even bigger emphasis

on rivalry games against UTEP

as both universities are part of Conference

USA. This is the first time since 1961

and the days of the Border Conference

that NMSU and UTEP will be in the same

league. The Aggies head into 2023 with

a rejuvenated program that expects the

same, and possibly more, success for the

upcoming season.

Here come the Irish! With the

exception of some key players and

coaching staff... The Irish will have a

new face upstairs in the booth calling

plays for the offense with Tommy Rees

making the move to Alabama alongside

Nick Saban. Gerad Parker will take Rees’

place, after the move from tight ends

coach at Notre Dame in 2022, but is

no stranger to leading an offense with

a two-year stint as West Virginia’s offensive

coordinator. Many fans have

said they are not too concerned with the

decision Rees made to leave, including

legendary Notre Dame Heisman Trophy

winner Tim Brown, who said, “It‘s a great

day for Irish football considering how

predictable the offense looked” with

Rees at the helm.

Head Coach Marcus Freeman looks

to offset the loss of players Tyler Buchner

and Logan Diggs, with veteran

quarterback Sam Hartman transferring

from Wake Forest. He brings with him

a plethora of records, including the

second-most yards thrown in ACC history.

Hartman will look to show how

much he will be missed at Wake Forest

when the Demon Deacons head to South

Bend late in the season on November

18th. Hartman’s high-powered yardage

creates an air of excitement to all

the Golden Domers looking forward to

a season of high scoring games. It all

starts across the way in Dublin, Ireland

on August 26th, when the Irish take on

the Navy Midshipmen at Aviva Stadium.

Will the Irish have enough drive and

a tough enough schedule to make a

run for the College Football Playoff?

Coming off a 9 and 4 finish last season,

some would say that it is not likely that

they can compete with the powerhouse

SEC teams, but let’s not forget the end

of the season high point at the Gator

Bowl against South Carolina. With a

45-38 win, Notre Dame football showed

that they had not given up, and still

have the drive that we all yearned for

from the good old days of tradition and

excellence. GO IRISH! Catch home

Texas A&M entered last season

ranked in the Top 10 of the Associated

Press poll, with hopes of

competing for a spot in the College

Football Playoff. The Aggies

got nowhere near that in Jimbo

Fisher’s fifth year in Aggieland.

A week two loss to Appalachian

State, plus a six-game midseason

losing streak doomed the Aggies

to a 5-7 record and forced big offseason

changes. Fisher hired former

Louisville head coach Bobby

Petrino as Texas A&M’s new offensive

coordinator.

The hope is that the man who

helped turned Lamar Jackson into

a Heisman Trophy winner can inject

some life into an A&M offense

that put up just 22.8 points per

game last year.

Conner Weigman will likely grab

the reins at quarterback. A former

five-star recruit, Weigman played

in five games as a true freshman

in 2022, completing 55 percent of

his passes for 896 yards and eight

touchdowns, without throwing an

interception.

The wide receiver spot is stacked.

Former five-star recruit Evan

Stewart returns, as does Ainias

Smith, a star who missed eight

games due to injury last year. At

running back, Devon Achane left

for the NFL, leaving Amari Daniels

and Le’Veon Moss in the backfield

to try to carry the load.

Defensively, the Aggies were

demons against the pass under

first-year defensive coordinator

D.J. Durkin, but ranked among the

seven worst rush defenses in the

country.

Safety Demani Richardson is the

defensive leader, but it’s the defensive

line that might be the most

talented unit. A&M returns McKinnley

Jackson and Walter Nolen

and five-star freshman DJ Hicks

arrived in the offseason after flipping

from Oklahoma.

Five of Texas A&M’s first six games

will be played at Kyle Field, before

things ratchet up in a hurry when

Alabama comes to College Station

on Oct. 7. If the Aggies can

flip their bad luck in close games

from last year to good luck, plus

improve offensively, eight or nine

wins could be in the cards.

Not much was expected of Texas Tech in

its first season under head coach Joey

McGuire, so naturally the Red Raiders

surprised everyone in 2022 in Lubbock.

Texas Tech went 8-5 in McGuire’s rookie

season, with overtime wins over Houston,

Texas and Oklahoma, then a victory over

Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl.

The Red Raiders won’t be sneaking up on

anyone in 2023. Picked to finish fourth

in the preseason Big 12 media poll, Tech

could be a dark horse to win the conference

title this fall in the new-look 14-team

league.

There’s plenty of reason for optimism, as

the Red Raiders bring back a lot from what

was a top-25 offense a season ago. Tech

returns two quarterbacks with starting

experience in Tyler Shough and Behren

Morton, both of whom excelled at times

in a pass-happy offense engineered by

offensive coordinator Zach Kittley. They’ll

fight for the starting job in fall camp.

Wide receivers Jerand Bradley (51 receptions,

744 yards, six touchdowns),

Myles Price and Xavier all return as well.

Parkland graduate DJ Crest hopes to

factor into the receiving corps as a

true freshman, too. Running back Tahj

Brooks is back after leading the team

in rushing the last two seasons.

Defensively, Texas Tech returns eight

starters from the bowl win over Ole Miss,

but will have to replace first round draft

pick in edge rusher Tyree Wilson and

2022’s leading tacklers, Krishon Merriweather

and Kosi Eldridge. It’s a tough

task, but with the return of interior linemen

Tony Bradford and Jaylon Hutchings,

Texas Tech has a good starting

point.

The Red Raiders can make a statement

in week two at home when Oregon

comes to Lubbock, likely as a

top-15 team. If Texas Tech knocks off

the Ducks, it could be the start of a

special season.

By Colin Deaver

In its final season in the Big 12 before

Texas jets off to the SEC with Oklahoma,

expectations are sky-high for

Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns.

For the first time in awhile, it appears

UT might be up to the task.

Texas will head into the new-look,

14-team Big 12 as the favorite to win

the conference, after going 8-5 with

an Alamo Bowl loss to Washington

in 2022.

Offensively, the Longhorns bring

back sophomore quarterback Quinn

Ewers, who started 10 games in

2022 and emerged from spring

football as the clear-cut starter over

Maalik Murphy and Arch Manning.

They also bring back all five starters

on the offensive line.

Ewers threw for over 2,000 yards

and 15 touchdowns in his first action

at UT and although he lost Doak

Walker Award-winning running back

Bijan Robinson to the first round of

the NFL Draft, the cupboard is by no

means bare.

Jonathon Brooks is expected to take

over for Robinson in the backfield

after accounting for six total touchdowns

in 2022. At wide receiver,

Jordan Whittington returns once

again and will be joined by a talented

flock of pass catchers, including

2022’s leading receiver Xavier

Worthy (60 receptions, 760 yards,

nine TD) and Georgia transfer Adonai

Mitchell.

Mitchell was a part of Georgia’s

back-to-back national championships

in 2021 and 2022, catching

seven touchdowns in his time with

the Bulldogs.

Defensively, Texas was better in

2022, lowering its points allowed

totals by almost 10 points to 21.6

per game. Middle linebacker Jaylan

Ford is back to lead the way, as is

the entire defensive coaching staff.

The defensive line and secondary

each return a pair of starters, respectively.

There’s optimism that the

unit can improve even more in 2023.

In the Longhorns’ final year in the

Big 12, the entire league will be gunning

for them. Now, it’s up to them

to deliver.

By Ed Stansbury

Three decades ago, the idea of cre

ating an All-Star game to give more

exposure to El Paso County High

School Football players was introduced

by our founding director Mr.

Ed Fifer. Fast forward to now, we are

excited to kick off the celebration of

the 31st year of the Greater El Paso

Football Showcase.

First, I would like to congratulate our

Executive Director, Rick Hernandez,

who was inducted into the El Paso

Athletic Hall of Fame this summer.

Rick has always been about youth

athletes in the Sun City and his induction

was well-deserved.

Over the last 31 years, the Greater

El Paso Football Showcase has seen

thousands of players representing

the best of El Paso high school football

play one last time in front of their

hometown crowd. Names like Paul

Smith (Andress, 9-year NFL Veteran),

Brian Young (Andress, 8-year NFL

Veteran), current college stars like

Jeremiah Cooper (Iowa State), and of

course, current NFL superstar Aaron

Jones (Burges, Green Bay) have all

come through the All-Star Game.

ed stansbury

The celebration will kick off with a

press conference in September to officially

announce all the festivities like

the Draft, Pre-game tailgate, All-star

Alumni Social, All-star palooza, and

halftime performer planned for the

big game on Dec. 16 at the Socorro

ISD Athletic Complex.

The Greater El Paso Football Showcase

has grown over the last three

decades to represent not just football

players, but everyone involved in

a Friday night football game. Band,

Cheer, Dance, Sports Media, Choir,

JROTC, Dance, Mascots and Athletic

Trainers have all been included, and

all have opportunities to continue

their education with scholarships

given out by the Showcase.

Last year, we awarded the most single-year

scholarship money that we

ever have: $40,000. Overall to date,

we have awarded over $640,000 in

scholarships. We ask that any GEPFS

alumni register on our website www.

geps.org to get up-to-date announcements

and alumni giveaways.

We are in for a great football season

and look forward to covering all the

players and teams here in El Paso on

9 Overtime.
