To say that the matchup against the USC Trojans has the potential to be a major pivot point for the Texas Longhorns’ season is putting it lightly.
Even though this isn’t the 2017 undefeated USC team led by Heisman Trophy hopeful Sam Darnold, a win over the Trojans could signal a change in identity for the Longhorns. Head coach Tom Herman is 0-4 against ranked teams at Texas and quarterback Sam Ehlinger is 3-5 as a starter.
Putting one in the win column has the potential to shift fans’ thoughts and feelings around the head coach and his young signal caller.
