Tom Herman was worried about this.
For weeks, the Texas Longhorns head coach has talked about how his team can’t afford to play less than its best football and expect to win.
“We didn’t play our best, and coach Herman always tells us our best can beat anyone in the nation, but when we don’t play our best, things like this can happen,” junior wide receiver Collin Johnson said after the game.
On homecoming in Stillwater against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Herman’s team made too many mistakes, many of them mental, and were unable to come back from a 17-point deficit, ultimately falling 38-35 at T.
