Push finally came to shove for Charlie Strong, who has named Jay Norvell the new play-caller for the Texas Longhorns.
What that means for the rest of the season remains to be seen.
Ranking in the nation's bottom three in scoring offense, total offense and yards per play (per cfbstats.com), it was obvious that Texas had to replace Shawn Watson. During his 14 games as the play-caller, the Longhorns have scored 10 points or less six times, losing by 20-plus points each time.
Now Strong's tied his future at Texas to Norvell, who was hired this spring to coach the wide receivers.
