Winning is hard.
Texas coach Tom Herman preaches it all the time. It takes a lot of hard work to consistently win in the Big 12.
It’s a fair point. Texas fans can be overly critical without understanding how talented a team has to be to beat two playoff contenders in the first six weeks of the season.
It’s why I wrote last week that Texas, despite losing to Oklahoma, was still showing legitimate signs of progress.
And then Texas played Kansas.
In what was quite possibly the most important kick of Cameron Dicker’s career — arguably more important than the Red River Showdown win last season — Texas avoided an unmitigated disaster.
