“We are excited to beat a top-25 (West Virginia) team on the road, and we are pleased to be bowl-eligible, but we are far from done,” Herman said.

AUSTIN, Texas — The initial goal for the Texas football team, its first bowl appearance since 2014, was secured by winning Saturday at No. 24 West Virginia in cold and rainy Morgantown, W.V.

Now UT is on the hunt for an even bigger achievement: a winning overall season, which can be accomplished by defeating Texas Tech when the two teams square off in Austin at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Black Friday.

The Longhorns (6-5 overall, 5-3 in Big 12 Conference play) want desperately to build on the momentum [article-offer]
