Longhorn Blitz: Can an improved Texas pass rush help coverage in the secondary and vice versa?

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe are back and open the final Longhorn Blitz before the start of the 2024 season discussing the 2024 Texas Athletics Hall of Honor class. Colt McCoy, Marquise Goodwin and Alex Okafor are the headliners. After discussing McCoy's legacy after he announced his retirement from football earlier in the week, there's plenty of talk about a football-heavy class that the Blitz crew saw play on the Forty Acres from start to finish.

Okafor was one of the last dominant edge-rushing Longhorns. Still, the 2024 group of Ethan Burke, Trey Moore and Barryn Sorrell could produce at a dominant clip for coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski. How can an improved pass rush help a secondary looking to rebound from an up-and-down 2023 and vice versa?
