Two weeks after the passing of legendary Longhorn Tommy Nobis, the Texas Football program will honor him on Wednesday night against Missouri in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl. Nobis' No. 60 jersey is retired at UT, but comes out of retirement on rare occasion in order to recognize and honor him. On Tuesday afternoon, head coach Tom Herman spoke with Nobis' wife, Lynn, to request permission to have a Longhorn wear the No. 60 jersey in Wednesday's game.

"It was a sad day when we lost a Longhorn Legend in Tommy Nobis," Herman said.
