On the latest episode of THE STAMPEDE, Mack Brown and Bob Ballou break down why Steve Sarkisian's offense needs more explosive plays this season and what it will take to make that happen. Mack explains how Texas' transfer portal additions can provide a spark and why Arch Manning's mobility could be the key to unlocking the Longhorns' full offensive potential. Then, the guys discuss the NCAA's new age-based eligibility model, which eliminates traditional redshirt seasons and gives Division I athletes five years of eligibility. Mack reflects on the challenges of navigating the old redshirt rule and dives into why he believes this change is a good thing for both players and coaches. Finally, Mack answers YOUR questions! Which play calls does he still think about? What was the wackiest game of his coaching career? And where does he stand on the grass vs. turf debate? Have a question for Mack, Vince or Bob?
