Tom Herman wasn’t lying on Monday.
The sky is not falling.
Saturday’s 34-29 loss to Maryland wasn’t pretty; that much is obvious.
But for the Texas Longhorns, this feeling, sadly, isn’t a new one, which suggests the sky fell several years ago and never came back.
Maybe the sky fell when Colt McCoy jogged to the sideline with his limp right right arm, all but sealing the Longhorns’ fate in the national title game. Maybe it was when Garrett Gilbert, among others, never met expectations, or just couldn’t stay healthy to reach their full potential.
