When I think 18-wheeler, the first thing that comes to mind is a large truck that’s usually in my way on the highway. When the Texas Longhorns think 18-wheeler, they think about their 6’4, 250-pound senior quarterback, #18 Tyrone Swoopes. They even made shirts.
The matchup between Oklahoma State and Texas will mark the one-year anniversary of Texas’ 18-Wheeler Package. The Longhorns have a different offensive coordinator in Sterlin Gilbert than they had last year, and Longhorn receiver (former quarterback) Jerrod Heard had not yet given the package its name, but it is still just as effective and maybe even more effective as it’s been in the past.
