I've heard that Banks has been pleasantly surprising. It nothing new, but more confirmation, obviously.
I agree with everyone that Ertz probably starts about 4-5 games. He probably adequately gets us through the three rummies and then struggles at OSU. Then, at some point in the first half when Ertz can't get us across midfield by somewhere in the second quarter against TCU, Banks probably comes in and gets us going.
Banks probably gets more snaps against OU, and if he does well, he starts, or get the majority of snaps, by Texas.
Regardless, my gut says that Banks is starting by 11/5 against Baylor and is tabbed to lead us through the stretch run of five games. With the open week between UT and Baylor, the timing just seems right. Especially since it's the weakest part of the schedule.
