Texas coach Charlie Strong recently joined Bruce Feldman on The Audible to discuss the Longhorns and other topics.

Among the things not covered in the podcast were Strong's thoughts on Texas' quarterback play last year and why he doesn't think it's fair to Tyrone Swoopes to write him off after stuggling last season.

In short: Texas' offensive line was in such bad shape, and there were so few playmakers to get the ball to, that Swoopes was put in an almost impossible situation.

"I don't care if you had Teddy Bridgewater standing back there last year, people wouldn't have thought he was very good either," said Strong, referring to his former standout QB at Louisville who was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
