Chuck Carlton, colleges beat writer for The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the Big 12. Here are some highlights.
What did you make of Herman calling out Texas D-linemen for being out of shape?
Chuck Carlton: Tom Herman is setting a tone quickly and not just to the defensive line. They're not his recruits and most of them don't have any other great options. So dropping a "fat" reference - as opposed to a "phat" reference - makes perfect sense. If the players get mad, so what? And maybe it plants a seed with Clemson defensive tackle grad transfer Scott Pagano that playing time might be readily available in Austin.
