Since Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Chris Ash vowed to fix the team’s tackling problems following an exceptionally poor performance in that regard against the Texas Tech Red Raiders to open Big 12 play, the Longhorns defense has steadily improved from week to week, including in that key area.
As Ash has gained a better understanding of his personnel, he’s made some adjustments to suit the skill set of those players, who have in turn become more consistent as they’ve gotten more comfortable with what Ash is asking them to do on the field.
