Interesting numbers. Things that stand out to me. 

1-Texas is about where I expected. 

2-TCU, Tech and Baylor are returning a lot on the offensive line. 

3-Something that's really been overlooked is how experienced A&M's offensive line has been in years past. Not so this year. 

4-Like I've been saying, OU lost almost their entire offensive line. #120 in career starts returning. Ouch.

Career returning starts for A&M on O-line. Sherman left Sumlin an experienced and good O-line.

2013: 74

2014: 89

2015: 58

To put this in perspective, Texas only had 49 career returning starters last year (and that's before losing ESPY and Estelle).

49 career starts belonged to Espy & Estelle. After they were gone (game 1) we had nothing.

What Texas needs on the OL is NEW BLOOD...MAULERS with no pity. Like Texas had in 2005-2006.

MEAN MAULERS who dominate the line of scrimmage. Texas used to be known for having such OL.

When will we return to those days...

Etex, it's beginning. Just give it time.

I want to see scenes like the one in Blindside where the opposing defender doesn't want to get up.

Longhorn: A gentlemen with the ladies, and a Beast on the field.

Hook 'em!

The problem with the OL is it doesn't matter how many starts it has.  The only starts that is needed is to start over.

You can't make a racehorse out of a mule - as it were.

Redshirted JRS. and SRS. is what makes great offence lines IMO.

I got excited just reading that.
