are "close to suspension" probably meaning dismissal from the team, not suspension... Especially Daje Johnson.

That's the starting left tackle and possible backup left tackle, and a potential starter/playmaker at WR.

Obviously I hope they smarten up in life and don't wish the worst for them. But those guys are on their last straw and who knows when one could be gone. That would obviously help us out. But hey, sometimes when you've been given chance after chance after chance, punishment like that might be best for you. Daje Johnson is one who probably won't last much longer at Texas with all of his trouble.

So when they said 5 more possible suspensions, here are 3, and two of them are big ones, potentially even all 3. Sure Texas should be deep with talent, but experience is experience. I don't inexperienced Texas team isn't going to beat us even at home. Obviously it will depend on who suits up for them against us. But Ash has to have blockers, and has to have guys to throw to.
