Longhorns Defense Could be the Best

Last year the Longhorns defense was third in the Big 12, allowing 23.3 points per game, and first in the conference in total yards allowed per contest—numbers that should only improve this season.

Heading into the 2012 season, the Longhorns Defense is poised to be the best unit in the Big 12 and possibly the country.

 The Longhorns defense will return seven of last year's starting 11, but there is still room for the defense to grow. The Longhorns have a strong group of players able to rush the quarterback and defend the pass, making life difficult for Big 12 opponents.
