Texas football is building the foundation for a solid run this fall, in the second year under head football coach Tom Herman. Last year, Herman led the Longhorns further than the program really ever went under former head coach Charlie Strong. Texas is one of the favorites to make a run at the Big 12 Championship Game in 2018, and compete with teams at the top of the conference like the West Virginia Mountaineers and Oklahoma Sooners.
Coming off a huge double-digit Texas Bowl victory over a former Big 12 foe in the Mizzou Tigers, the Horns should have a ton of momentum to start off the 2018 season.
