Fun video, but a little bit more ominous for the football team itself, which will be reporting to August camp in a few days. Tom Herman's hellish August camp is a brutal mix of violent play and all-out effort, which resulted in numerous concussions and other traumatic injuries for UH last August. It got to the point where the UH players were tired of seeing their teammates on the other side of the ball. The result? A massive upset over #3 Oklahoma in the first game of the season.
Some random tidbits below. RB Kirk Johnson is injured again. We'll see how Chris Warren holds up. Tom Herman: Texas practicing '10 times' harder than spring Tom Herman Recaps Practice No. 2 http://texas.247sports.com/Article/...Recaps-Day-2-of-Longhorns-Fall-Camp-105690588 Numbers prove McKnight has already done insane work at Texas http://texas.247sports.com/Bolt/Num...s-already-done-insane-work-at-Texas-105653356 Strength Coach seems legit. I don't know what Charlie was doing. Maybe it's an issue of defensive schemes. Maybe Charlie wanted bigger nose tackle type DLman and Herman/Orlando want faster and leaner guys.
Texas lands TE Dominick Wood-Anderson Texas has landed the #1 JUCO TE in the nation over Alabama and Louisville in Arizona Western TE Dominick Wood-Anderson. He was all over the map and most thought Alabama had the edge going into today. Texas still plans to take two TE’s in 2018 so Mustapha Muhammad, Malcolm Epps, and Luke Ford are the top targets on the board. Wood-Anderson is a December grad and will be at Texas in January. He is the 15th commit in Texas’ 2018 class. Quick article on Wood-Anderson. He will fill a major need next year. Wood-Anderson, Leitao, Brewer, and one other TE recruit out of Muhammed, Ford, and Epps should finish off our TE need in 2018
I like Burton's take here because it doesn't feel overly optimistic. I'm excited to see what Herman and Orlando can put on the field, even if there's work to do at a few positions.
Think it's more of the latter. You don't lose to Kansas because they are bigger and stronger than you. Not to beat a dead horse but there were just so many WTF moments under Strong whether schemes, penalties, clock management, etc...
Yeah, understandable. It's actually "@TheRealYungDom", though, so I'm sure you're familiar with that person.
I don't think you're beating a dead horse. Some of us on here were critical of Charlie Strong's lack of attention to detail, and we were ridiculed for it.
Ya me being one of them, I don't really want to keep bashing a guy after both sides have moved on. But seeing how much Herman has accomplished in 8 months, hard not to look back at the last 3 years. The before/after picks of the locker room alone show how far we had fallen behind in the arms race. Not sure if it would've been approved (likely a definite no from Patterson) under Strong but don't recall him pushing for any of this stuff either referring to it as "gadgets." But it's a new age in CFB (it actually has been for a while) so good to see Texas joining the times. Just gotta win some games now.
Those nice and fancy things better pay off on the field. If not, Herman should rip them down and install the old lockers, telling the players they only get new ones when they're worthy of it.
