On Saturday, when the Texas Longhorns scrimmaged for the second time this spring, the offense won for the second time, largely behind big runs allowed by the first-team defense. Meanwhile, the second-team offensive line “took a step back” on Saturday — Herman credited the second-team defensive line for making plays and keeping that side of the ball competitive during the scrimmage.
“Everything is fixable. We’ve got enough talent on both sides of the ball to be a good football team, but we’ve got to correct some of these mistakes,” Herman said.
In other words, the problems on defense right now are about technique and fundamentals — gap integrity, leverage, tackling.
