Longhorns are getting effort, physicality; now just need to win
By Steve Habel/Senior Editor
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas football team is a couple of defensive breakdowns in two of its games from being 5-1 rather than 3-3, but Longhorns coach Tom Herman won’t be happy until his squad makes those plays and can leave the field with real victories rather than moral ones.
When Texas (2-1 in Big 12 play) hosts No. 10 Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1 in Big 12) Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the Longhorns will be facing the top-ranked offense in the nation for the second consecutive contest. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. (Central Time).
