Texas great Michael Huff races fans at Longhorns' spring game

Tom Herman changed up the routine Saturday at his first Texas spring game, holding a skills competition between former Longhorns greats and UT students at halftime of the scrimmage.

The much-hyped competition of the day pitted Michael Huff, the former Thorpe Award winner and current assistant defensive backs coach, against student Avery Pawelek in a 40-yard dash. Pawelek actually won a tryout earlier this spring for the opportunity to race Huff.

Here's how the 40 went. It really wasn't close.
