Dave Campbell's Texas Football revealed the cover of its 2020 summer edition on Monday — the 61st annual "Bible of Texas Football" — featuring SMU quarterback Shane Buechele. The headline says it all: "PONY UP: Shane Buechele Leads SMU's Revolution on the Hilltop." Buechele is the first Mustangs player to grace the cover of the magazine since Lance McIlhenny in 1983.

Here is Buechele's reaction to seeing the cover for the first time:

The 400-page all-color annual magazine covers football in Texas — from high school to recruiting to college to the pros — as nobody else can. Inside the magazine, readers will find:

• An remarkable in-depth look at how Shane Buechele and SMU re-invented one another, written by Texas Football's Shehan Jeyarajah
• A sensational secondary feature on why, after 100 years, Texas high school football remains a touchstone for so many Texans, written by Jay Plotkin
• The second annual 40 Under 40, spotlighting the best young coaches in Texas

• Individual team previews of more than 1,400 Texas high school football squads
