The nightmare place-kicking situation for the Texas Longhorns is now stretching into a second season, as junior college transfer Josh Rowland has struggled in hitting only 7-of-14 attempts on the season.

His practice performances have made head coach Tom Herman hesitant to make a change throughout the season, but senior Mitchell Becker could finally receive his opportunity on Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks.

“I think depending on how practice goes, you know, we had a two-minute drill yesterday that ended in a field goal and Mitchell Becker was the one that kicked it,” Herman said on Monday.
